Boating Before Fiberglass | New Volvo Power | Exodus in Paradise - 10/16/25

TWO HULLS, ONE BOAT She's a dual console catamaran that splits waves and defies a pounding ride with her signature VectorFlo hull. World Cat desigend her for offshore runs and family outings. From the sliding windshield to the integrated lithium system, she is built to stay out on the water longer and with more confidence.

SERIOUS FUN, SERIOUS BOAT Formula’s reputation for deep-V hulls and performance runs deep, but they are also for pure fun. Captains Shelley and Trip put her through her paces, not just on the water but under it, too. They even took the custom-painted Seabob, designed to match the boat, for a spin, showing just how this dayboat is made for more than just getting there fast.
 

WHICH PROP IS RIGHT?  Each Sharrow prop is matched to specific boat setups that require hull, engine, and use data. Sharrow’s engineers take the data, feed it into their computers, and match it against thousands of boat applications. Just fill out the form and get Sharrow's recommendation for free.

QUAD STERNDRIVE POWER Volvo Penta expands its Aquamatic DPI range with the D6 480 DPI, an integrated helm-to-propeller system that delivers greater performance and versatility. This new sterndrive package is designed for single, twin, triple or quad installations, offering builders and owners more flexibility than ever before.
 

A MASSIVE EXODUS The relationship between the USVI and BVI charter industries, once symbiotic, has taken a turn for the worse. New fee structures have driven nearly 90 boats to relocate, resulting in a multi-million-dollar economic hit to the USVI and a call for new infrastructure to compete with their neighbor.
 

VARNISH FARMS, BEETLES, AND BUGS Imagine a world where your entire spring was consumed by scraping, sanding, and varnishing. Then, a tiny boat from a company called Beetle appeared in an ad, making claims that seemed too good to be true. It was one of the first fiberglass boats, and she changed everything.
