The Regal LX43 can fulfill the needs of both the hard core fishing enthusiast as well as family-oriented owners whose primary directive is to supply upscale, comfortable cruising opportunities, exciting days out on the water, and extended time away from their home dock. Its design and features allow the LX43 to bridge the gap between an open and an enclosed boat, blending performance with comfort and, as we found out during our exclusive visit aboard, delivers its amenities with only the finest offerings in both décor and layout.

Starting in early 1998, when the first World Cat hull hit the water, it did not take long for the company to gain traction. In fact, several months later, it officially launched its 246 Sport Fisherman, 266 Sport Cuddy, and 266 Sport Fisherman.

Today, housed in a 140,000 state-of-the-art facility located in Tarboro, North Carolina, and, according to World Cat, there are some 80,000 boaters around the world who own their boats with the 400DC-X Island, the latest dual console to join the fleet. Known for its comfortable ride courtesy of a wide footprint, more deck space as the beam is carried fully forward, greater stability, and fuel efficiency, which are all hallmarks of World Cat hulls, the 400DC-X Island is ready to take you places.

With sleek, well-balanced lines, a low profile exterior, and large windows above and below decks, the Aquila 46 Coupe, along with the kind of accommodations only found on a cat, offers a high level of sophisticated design and engineering, including carbon fiber foils and double stepped hulls for better fuel efficiency, and is poised to take its rightful market place for those wishing to own a go-anywhere, well-appointed cruising yacht. It’s no wonder she was the in-class Yacht Style Award Winner for 2025.

The Aquila 42 Coupe Power Cat is the natural pathway between the company’s Sport and Yacht lines. Presenting a low profile, sleek exterior is only a prelude of what awaits inside. With a spacious interior, a pair of staterooms with ensuite heads taking full advantage of a wide beam carried fully forward, and the option of twin Mercury outboard or Volvo Penta inboard, sterndrive diesel power, and paired with double stepped hulls and a carbon-fiber foil, the Aquila 42 Coupe is at home for day trips, extended weekend travel, or long distance voyages. 

The Silent Yacht 62 3-Deck Open is designed for ultra-long distance cruising at displacement speeds powered by electric motors energized by solar panels, with extended-range available from a diesel generator. The ship's massive battery bank stores energy for when it is needed. A rest, with a modicum of sunshine, the boat produces more energy than the house needs. Underway, depending on speed and conditions, the boat can be solar energy production/consumption neutral.  At higher speeds, the range can be extended with the engagement of a generator designed for ultra-quick charging. Under normal island-cruising conditions with a mix of displacement cruising and anchoring, the Silent Yachts 62 can be totally self-sufficient. 

Barcelona-based De Antonio Yachts has always had a forward thinking perspective on its designs since its inception in the first part of the 21st century. Riding the crest of innovations in materials, construction techniques, utilization of exterior and interior space, and some surprising and original engineering, the De Antonio D50 Coupe possesses all that and a lot more.

A new Tiara always bears our close examination because of the years of building, and engineering expertise that goes in to its new boats which are always designed for family cruising. The Slikkers family (now with 3rd generation members working in the company) cruise their boats every summer, so we expect the boat to be practical.  Capt. Trip does an in-depth video inspection to show you what they've done. She'll be at the Palm Beach Boat Show this month. The 56LS is Tiara's largest outboard powered model ever for 2025.
