THREE DECK LAYOUT Designed by Tony Castro and built in Poland, the Galeon 480 Fly compresses three usable decks into a 47’ platform. Her fold-down balconies and accordion doors merge cockpit and salon at anchor, while twin 600-hp Volvo Penta D8s deliver a 28-knot top end and practical coastal range. Three staterooms, two heads, and owner/operator systems define her mission.
OPEN BOW, INNOVATIVE BELOW Created by sports car designer Michael Young, the Formula 360 CBR replaces the 350 with a single-level cockpit, stand-up cabin, and true overnight capability. Her stepped FAS3Tech hull and twin 380-hp MerCruiser sterndrives give her a 47.7-mph WOT in our tests. Formula's 5-year stem-to-stern warrantee -- one of the best in the industry -- comes standard.

New Prestige Yachts M7
Up-Market Build and Living Space
MULTIHULL ON THE MAKE According to BoatTEST co-founder, Jeff Hammond, the new Prestige M7 build quality follows in the footsteps of the impressive M8, continuing the brand's pivot from large, relative low-cost motoryachts, to higher-quality builds with the prices that must inevitably follow. Twin hulls support a wide main deck and flybridge on the M7, delivering roughly 200 m² of combined interior and exterior living areas. The layout emphasizes separation, privacy, and room.

RAMP RULES MATTER Launching at a busy ramp breaks down fast when preparation happens in the wrong place. This short video from Len’s Cove Marina walks through basic ramp etiquette and safety, from staging-area prep and trailer depth to post-launch clearing. The focus is efficiency, coordination, and avoiding the mistakes that slow everyone down.
LAKE SHIFT AHEAD In this episode of The Boomershines, the crew aboard Sea Shine makes the transition from Lake Huron into Lake Michigan, passing under the Mackinac Bridge and running a long, fogbound transit before clearing into Harbor Springs. The stop includes tight-slip docking, bike rides to nearby dunes, Petoskey stone hunting, and a reminder that Great Lakes weather can change fast.
