63 MPH Weekender | 591 Ft Yacht | Boat Show Tradeoff - 6/17/2026

ONE LEVER DOCKING Yamaha's VX Cruiser HO runs a 1.9L High Output engine with a 10% larger throttle body, and the gains show up everywhere from hole shot to top end. At the dock, RiDE lets one lever handle forward and reverse, so low-speed control becomes a one-handed operation.
 

AXOPAR PLUS The BRABUS Shadow 900 ST starts with Axopar's twin-stepped 37-foot platform, then adds 900 horsepower, carbon-fiber detailing, a glass helm, and a cabin finished more like a private aircraft than a center-console. She topped 63.7 mph in testing, yet still carries a sunroof, dining space for seven, and overnight berths below. 
 

MASTER MIDSHIPS This St. Petersburg-based 2020 Prestige 460 Flybridge runs on twin Volvo IPS-600 pods with joystick and dynamic positioning for easier close-quarters handling. A full-beam amidships master headlines the two-stateroom layout, and a Seakeeper 6 gyro keeps things settled underway and at anchor.
 

RESERVE YOUR HOLIDAYS NOW How about taking your family out for a boat ride on Christmas or New Year's Day in Florida? It's a treat they'll never forget.  Now is the time to book one of the Sovereign Boat Fleet's four premium boats before someone else beats you to it. There will only be four lucky charter owners for each of those days! 
 

WORTH THE CROWDS Boat shows aren't cheap to stage, and some dealers question whether they're worth the effort. For buyers, though, few experiences offer the same chance to step aboard multiple boats, compare layouts, and talk directly with dealers in a single afternoon.

LONGER THAN A BLOCK At nearly 591 feet, Azzam stretches longer than many city blocks and reportedly costs about $65 million a year to maintain. 97,000-hp from a combined diesel-and-gas-turbine propulsion system, a top speed of 32 knots, and 13 tons of fuel burned per hour at full throttle. Take a look at these pics of her sheer scale.
