WIDER IS BETTER World Cat is known for maximizing comfort and stability via advanced catamaran hulls. The 235TE carries that heritage offshore, offering the deck space and lateral stability serious anglers demand. Twin 150-hp outboards push her to a 48.5 mph top-end, while a 120-gallon tank yields a 265 NM range at best cruise. She brings fishing capability and smart features like a standard hardtop.

PLUMB BOW EXPEDITION CL Yachts, backed by the robust building heritage of Cheoy Lee, delivers a radical new flagship.

Researchers have uncovered hundreds of microorganisms that may hold the key to cleaning up our oceans. These tiny, resilient species of fungi and bacteria literally treat plastic pollution as a food source. Take a look at the natural solution scientists are trying to speed up, before this man-made niche engulfs us all.
