TEST VIDEO. The Formula 310 Bowrider, available with twin outboards or sterndrives, is a sporty premium dayboat with the notable Formula seating and buyer’s choice hull paint scheme. She tops out at nearly 50 mph with twin 350-hp Mercs.
AN EXPRESS. Everyone knows that Brazilians like to party, so the NX400 has passed the local test and is being imported to the U.S. with an office in Miami. The NX400 HT was introduced at the Miami Show and comes in sterndrive and outboard models. She can sleep six below and has head with a separate show stall.
HANDLING & FEATURES. Twin 1.9-liter jets combined with Yamaha’s DRiVE X control paddles located on the wheel allow moving the boat forward and aft or laterally, rotating on an axis or holding against the dock while keeping your hands on the steering wheel. Upscale upholstery welcomes relaxing bow to stern.
FIRST LOOK. Azimut showcased four impressive new yachts at the Cannes Yachting Festival — the Fly 62, Magellano 30M, Seadeck 6 and Seadeck 7. Azimut's innovative designs, advanced tech and luxurious interiors continue to drive strong business performance, with orders booked through 2029.
BOAT MAINTENANCE. Even quality boat covers eventually get a few holes. Here’s how to fix them the right way and make sure they don’t expand as the cover ages.
CREW DISCLOSURES. Testimony at an Italian hearing and newspaper crew accounts add new pieces to the puzzle of what happened to Bayesian. Now there is speculation that British national security access codes may be aboard.
GREAT LOOPING WITH THE BOOMERSHINES. The big day finally comes — the Boomershine family sets off from Stuart, Florida on the first leg of their Great Loop video adventure. But not without a few hiccups at the dock, of course.
