CLB88 at the Miami International Boat Show
CL Yachts is currently aiming its considerable focus at two exciting models in the B Series – the re-imagined CLB88 and the brand-new CLB65. CLB88 has enjoyed a transformation under the expert guidance of world-renowned, Milan-based designer Jozeph Forakis. Indeed, the boat has already won a Good Design award from Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, and was also a finalist for Boat International’s Design & Innovation Awards in 2021. To see the yacht alive is possible at the Miami International Boat Show 2022.
The first interior package is characterized by a deeper color scheme, with a palette that celebrates teak and walnut.
While that stylistic choice lent the interior a real sense of gravitas and masculinity, CL Yachts realizes that some may prefer a lighter touch. To that end, Forakis envisioned a second palette, this one made up of softer grays and lighter oaks.

The creamy and serene motif plays well with the natural light welcomed onboard through CLB88’s expansive windows, for an overall effect that feels inviting, bright and modern – recalling a summer beach holiday.
The builder is also working on another project, CLB65, that is currently set to debut at the 2022 Newport International Boat Show. The flybridge motoryacht is the smallest of B series. Specifically designed for owner operation and with some new design touches. “CLB65 will stand out for a lot of reasons,” says CL Yachts’ Martin Lo. “Our clients will enjoy the expansive windows, which have an up-down function on the port side and a flip-up window at aft bulkhead by the galley. This is in line with our idea of bringing outside in and inside out.”
CLB65 will be powered by highly maneuverable and easy-to-use twin Volvo Penta IPS1050 pods with optional Docking Assist Program, and have zero speed fin stabilization system in place as well. Indeed, the model has created such fanfare that a second hull is already under construction.
CL Yachts’ goal is to offer unparalleled experiences to the modern explorer. The luxury performance brand stands apart from its competitors thanks to its unique approach to design – driven by CL Yacht’s core value of innovation. Fusing progressive design with engineering prowess and state-of-the-art technology, every element of CL Yachts’ vessels are meticulously geared to steer luxury into uncharted territories.
