Exciting news from Rio Yachts, which will unveil the new Le Mans range with a strong presence and two world premieres at the September boat shows. Both the Le Mans 45 and the flagship of the range, the Le Mans 50, will be on display and available for visits.
It promises to be an explosive season, starting on September 10th with the Cannes Yachting Festival (boats on display at Port Vieux) and continuing with the Genoa International Boat Show from September 19th.
The new Le Mans range
An evolution of the Daytona line, the new Le Mans range has been created by Rio Yachts to expand the usability of the boats, adding a domed Hard-Top that fully protects the cockpit. The result is a boat that appears even sportier and allows for long cruises with a high level of comfort.
Le Mans 45
Thirteen meters in length for a yacht that offers the features of a significantly larger vessel. The brand-new Le Mans 45 boasts an enormous cockpit that, thanks to its two fold-down terraces, extends the overall width to well beyond 5 meters. In this magnificent space, the seating can be rearranged to create the preferred deck layout.
The galley is located outside, integrated into the bar unit positioned just a step away from the large outdoor dining table. The side-decks provide safe and comfortable access to the bow, revealing a large secondary sunbathing area opposite a seat formed from the bow itself.
The interiors are designed by the renowned SY Design and are very bright, thanks also to the choice of an open and multifunctional layout. There are two cabins, accompanied by a perfectly designed bathroom, making the Le Mans 45 a highly appealing yacht.
Two possible engine options, either inboard or outboard, allow the Le Mans 45 to achieve a maximum speed of 38 or 44 knots.

Le Mans 50
The flagship of the new range, the Le Mans 50, represents not only the largest boat in this line but also the one offering the greatest customization options for its owner. It can be equipped with a tender garage, a stern tender lift, and a choice of woods and leathers, among many other features.
Designed by Marino Alfani, this vessel boasts sleek lines and a distinctly sporty design. It can be powered either by a pair of Yanmar engines, each delivering 550 horsepower, or by a triple setup of Mercury Verado V10 400 engines, offering impressive performance.
The space on board is immense, and the huge cockpit can also be extended with the two opening terraces, providing guests with an exceptionally sublime connection to the sea.
