With the 70 Luxury Power Cat, Aquila sheds its middle-market positioning and takes on the mane of a beast in the high-end yacht segment. She has premium features, appliances and appointments but most important, her bulkheads are dressed like those of a fine yacht. Aquila and MarineMax offer her with a galley up or down layout and up to five staterooms plus crew quarters. More...

Formula 500 SSC
Luxurious Crossover w/2,400-HP
The Formula 500 SSC is the largest iteration, so far, of the company’s remarkably popular Super Sport Crossover series. She’s intended for owners who want to head to the islands or other destinations for fishing, scuba diving, swimming or just plain getting away from it all. Her “SmartZone” concept optimizes the yacht’s entertaining potential with multiple gathering areas under the hardtop or in open air in the stern.
Belowdecks, she sleeps four and she's powered by quad Mercury 600-hp V12 Verado outboards. For those who have just entered the room: Formula is one of the largest sellers of express yachts in the U.S. and is known for its high-quality fit-and-finish and remarkable hull paint over fiberglass that keeps their boats looking new for many years.

Galeon 400 Fly
Mid-Sized Yacht w/Motoryacht Features
Galeon Yachts has taken many of the features found on its larger models and scaled them down to the new 400 Fly. The list includes the fold-out bulwarks or “balconies” that expand the cockpit and large windows in the salon. The flying bridge has low top hamper, which is a signature aspect of Galeon yachts, and she sleeps four belowdecks. Forty feet is a popular size and a good mix of utility, price and value, in our opinion. She’s also a good place for a couple to start if they aspire for a large motoryacht down the road. More...

Hatteras M90
Luxury Yacht w/Contemporary Design
Hatteras chose the name “Panacera” for its 90’ (27.43 m) motoryacht to reflect her open plan and panoramic views. She’s available with an open or enclosed flying bridge and has four en suite staterooms including a full-beam master. She was the first Hatteras with flip-down bulwarks and is among the most technically advanced yachts to come out of the North Carolina facility. More...

Riviera 395 SUV
Flexibility and Dual-Purpose Come Standard
Riviera’s 395 SUV has a concealed sink and grill, which is becoming more common, but Riviera takes another step. The transom also has a tilt-out storage compartment that would be good for stowing lines and fenders. With minimal customization, it could be set up to hold dive tanks or an underwater scooter.
