9,000 RNLI launches show scale of sea rescues in 2025
New RNLI figures show how quickly a routine day by the water can turn serious, with lifeboat crews launching more…


Tropida MD Takis Samartzis told PBR: ‘We were really thrilled with the reception that our new Cosmic 39 received at the recent Athens Boat Show in December. I’m very happy to say that we fielded many enquiries and a good number of strong leads at the event. It bodes well for this high-performance cabin craft – one we anticipate will carve out a strong position for itself within the wider European boating market.’
Samartzis continued: ‘Our association with the celebrated naval architect Adam Younger is well established, and along with our own in-house design skills, our partnership has produced a strikingly original “flagship” for Tropida – a “mega-RIB” that will perform as convincingly in the blue-water environment as it will in the demanding conditions of the North Atlantic. Combining finesse and luxury, along with breathtaking performance, the Cosmic 39 represents an exciting new chapter in the history of our company.’
