New Boat Tests
Yamaha VX Cruiser HO (2024-)
Testing the Yamaha VX Cruiser HO in the dead of winter was not only a thrilling experience, but also a chilling one. The new 1.9 L Yamaha 16-valve engine lived up to expectations for high-output performance. But at the dock, she was a pussy cat with Yamaha's intuitive forward and reverse system. See it in action!
Sea Ray SPX 210 Outboard (2024-)
The new Sea Ray SPX 210 is the most affordable boat in the venerable brand's line. Yet, she retains many premium features including soft non-slip decking, convertible two-tone seating, digital dash with a standard 7" (17.78 cm) Simrad® touchscreen display and SmartCraft® Connect for intuitive engine monitoring that her more expensive siblings have. We think she is an ideal entry-level boat for people ready to discover that life is better on a boat.
Riviera 585 SUV (2023-)
The 585 SUV is the latest model in the growing SUV range from Australian luxury boat builder Riviera. The Riviera SUV Collection combines the offshore performance and open cockpit of a flybridge with the one level living of a sport yacht.
Beneteau Flyer 8 (2024-)
The Beneteau Flyer 8 is available in a "Spacedeck" CC model or a "Sundeck" cuddy model with a large forward lounge. Both models ride on a sea-kindly 26'10" (8.17 m) hull with sharp forward entry and lots of flair. The Spacedeck is a dayboat/bowrider/fishboat, while the Sundeck functions as a weekender or a dayboat
Aquila 47 Molokai (2024-)
With a 14’7” (4.44 m) beam, the 47 Molokai has the cockpit space of a big sport fisherman, but with outboard power, she’s much faster and more capable of shallow water explorations. She also doubles as a luxurious dayboat/weekender with a large bed below and head. Party anyone?
Galeon 450 HTC (2023-)
The Galeon 450 HTC includes all the essentials for day and night entertaining, day boating and longer cruising. Equipped with Galeon’s famous Beach Mode, port and starboard gunwale/decks, an optional hydraulic swim platform and its two-cabin, two-head design with a full-beam master, this versatile vessel has been designed for owners who want big motoryacht functionality in a compact package.
