Absolute Navetta 58 | Boston Whaler 405 Conquest | Fountain 39NX - 01/12/21

New Operational Features Video

Absolute Navetta 58:

Expedition Yacht w/Smart Features

Absolute’s Navetta 58 is designed to ease the operating experience for a distance cruising owner/operator. A good example of this is the starboard watertight door alongside the lower helm. When docking, the captain can open the door and have a full view of the side of the boat while keeping a hand on the Volvo Penta joystick. The opening window integrated into the watertight door was the first of its kind that we’ve seen. See what else makes this such a sought-after yacht.

Sovereign Boat Club’s $700,000

37’ Center Console for Members

This fully-equipped 37’ center console has an 11’4” (3.5 m) beam and is powered by triple Yamaha 300-hp engines.

It’s not often that boaters get the opportunity to use a loaded 2020 37’ center console located in the heart of big game fishing country – Riviera Beach, Fl, just a few minutes from the Palm Beach Inlet. She’s equipped with a Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer, air conditioning, full fishing finding sonar, 45-gallon (170.34 L) livewell, fish boxes with freezer plates and a cabin for two. She’s also an able cruiser and entertaining platform. Available from now until April 15, 2021 at low membership dues, based on intended usage, she’s a great way to find out if this size and type boat is right for you, as well as to check out her state-of-the-art equipment – including the revolutionary Sharrow prop. Only a limited number of Memberships are available. Membership dues are —



• 1-Day Charter w/Captain: $1,995

• 5-Days Use, Bareboat*: $7,995

• 10-Days Use, Bareboat*: $9,995

• 15-Days Use, Bareboat*: $12,995

Boston Whaler 405 Conquest:

More Features means More Uses

Owners told Boston Whaler that they wanted a boat like the 405 Conquest to play many roles, and that means more features. Among the most requested were a hullside door, a private cabin in the bow and a separate shower stall. Not only did Boston Whaler deliver, they added an extra spacious cockpit with convertible seating and solid ride. And we’re just getting warmed up.

Fountain 39NX:

Fast, Efficient and Hot

In our tests, the triple 450-hp Mercury Racing outboards pushed the Fountain 39NX to a top speed of 80.1 mph at 6450 rpm. That’s a number that few other boats in class can match. Since she’s a center console that can still head offshore to fish, it’s nice to know that at 44.4 MPH and 4000 RPM she’ll keep going for 383 statute miles. But it’s the added features that really hooked us.

Sea-Doo Fish Pro:

Talk About Multitasking

On the Fish Pro, Sea-Doo adds 11.5” (29 cm) to the stern. This allows more space for carrying the fishing gear that’s held in place with the exclusive LinQ attachment system. It also makes it more stable at rest. Is a fishing PWC actually the best of both worlds? Read on, and then you tell us.
