Volvo Penta at Sea

A new chapter in superyacht design begins.

At Monaco Yacht Show, RMK Yachts will unveil Arcane Era and Arcane Nova – two distinct 55-meter superyacht concepts created in collaboration with Espen Øino International, Volvo Penta and TWW Yachts.

Inspired by RMK’s vision of The Arcane Edge, the concepts explore new possibilities for life at sea. Expansive outdoor environments, seamless connections between interior and exterior spaces, and forward-looking technology come together in two individual interpretations of the next generation of yachting.

More than design studies, Arcane Era and Arcane Nova express a shared ambition: to challenge convention and advance the superyacht experience.

An award-winning way to go “Even Further.”

The Amer Yachts Explorer “Even Further” has been awarded the Green Yacht Trophy at the 2026 World Yachts Trophies, recognizing its approach to innovation, efficiency and more responsible yacht design.

Powered by the Volvo Penta IPS Professional Platform, the explorer combines four D13 engines with two IPS Professional Platform drives, delivering a propulsion solution designed for efficiency and long-range capability.

Designed to go further while using less, the Amer 42 Explorer brings together long-range capability, onboard comfort and greater efficiency – showing what's possible when innovative yacht design meets advanced propulsion.

Can the choice of fuel help reduce emissions without changing your engine setup?

HVO100 is a renewable fuel alternative to conventional diesel that can reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%. For Volvo Penta diesel engines, the switch is simple – no engine modifications, no changed service intervals and no impact on performance or range.

And when HVO100 is not available, you can seamlessly switch back to conventional diesel.
