50-MPH NX41 | World Cat Fishing Cat | Garmin Helm Watch - 3/10/2026

TWO CABINS BELOW NX Boats of Brazil has gained attention for sleek hardtop dayboats built for entertaining and quick coastal runs. The NX41 Horizon carries that formula into a 39'8" platform with twin Mercury V10 outboards capable of speeds over 50 mph. A social cockpit with outdoor galley connects to the swim platform, while below are two cabins, a real shower, and space for overnight stays.
 

TWIN-HULL FISHER World Cat has been building catamaran center consoles since 1998 and the 235TE is the fishing-focused version of that formula. Twin 150-hp Yamahas pushed her to 48.5 mph in testing, with a best cruise of 23 mph and 265 nm of range. The cat hull means a 9-inch draft, a centerline swim platform, and deck space a 22-foot monohull cannot match. Standard hardtop, 30-gallon livewell, 150-qt fishboxes.
 

46 KNOTS ON ONE ENGINE Built in Sweden, the Nimbus T8 traces its roots to megayacht tenders but works just as well as a capable dayboat. Her full walkaround layout, convertible cockpit seating, and open deck plan keep traffic moving easily while the forward sunpad and compact cabin with a two-person berth support relaxed overnights. Single-outboard power up to 300 hp pushes her to about 46 knots.
 

EIGHT DAYS GUARANTEED Sovereign Boat Club members get guaranteed access to boats eight days every month starting at $695 per month with a 12-month program. No hauling, no yard bills, no maintenance. The Robalo R317 dual console pictured here is available in the Bradenton/Cortez, Florida fleet and shows the kind of serious dayboat included in the lineup.

WRIST-HELM CONTROL Garmin’s quatix 8 pushes the idea of a “marine smartwatch” much further. Voice commands can control compatible chartplotters, navigation tools, and onboard systems, while the screen shows real-time boat data underway. With a sapphire lens, titanium bezel, 40-meter water rating, and battery life measured in weeks, this wearable starts to feel like part of the helm.
