Pegasus 67

We are excited to announce the all new Pegasus 67 the bigger sibling of the Pegasus 50. The Pegasus 50 is designed to excel, to be a shorthanded, fast, bluewater cruising yacht and the 67 shares all of her DNA, but in a larger package for more comfort at sea and the opportunity to bring friends and the family along for the ride. Innovative deck space Pegasus 67 retains the USP of the connected area between the saloon and the cockpit in all weather. She is epic, performance orientated and a real breath of fresh air in the ponderous bluewater bracket.

Foiling yachts have advanced rapidly, raising questions about the “trickledown effect” for recreational cruising yachts. While it is unlikely that foiling will take off (forgive the pun) for cruising yachts, it offers significant opportunities to decarbonize water transport. Leaders in the field are Artemis Technologies who offer various foiling craft, from tenders to 24-seater passenger vessels. These innovative designs provide safe, comfortable rides while consuming far less energy than traditional displacement or planning craft, paving the way for sustainable public and private water transport solutions.
