Ultra-luxury yachts keep making headlines, with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s second beauty, Ilma, marking an important milestone with a successful float out. Set to debut in 2024, Ilma is currently still at Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, where it has now embarked on the final-stage construction before it begins sea trials in April. Reservations for this vessel and its sister yacht, Evrima, are currently open and both are available for private charter.
