The Solaris 40 is one of the most curvaceous dayboats on the market and she is as well-built as she is beautiful.
Hello Boater
Solaris Power 40 Open:
A Study in Italian Design
RENAISSANCE DESIGN The Solaris Power 40 Open departs from angular designs to be a curvaceous head-turner. But she's not just about looks: The quality build and fit-and-finish of this vessel is every bit as stunning as her looks.
MODERN AESTHETICS The Hanover 347's design is all about practicality. Her lines are clean and purposeful, and her deep-V hull is designed for speed in a chop. Step aboard, and you'll find everything where it should be, ready for use.
FIND FARAWAY HORIZONS. The CLX96 is built to roam. She's got the lines of an explorer, the functionality of a haute couture motoryacht, and the build reliability of an industrial workboat. That's because CL is both a yacht and a commercial builder.
CLASSIC ICON. The 1980 Grand Banks 42 Europa is a meticulously refitted, fuel-efficient trawler perfect for the Great Loop, Bahamas cruising, and Northwest exploration. She had a refit in 2019, including new generator and nav equipment.
INCLUDES IPS Volvo Penta announced yesterday a new standard unified and expanded warranty program that "replaces previous offerings." According to Volvo, this new warranty applies to transmissions, IPS, gas and diesel engines and all drives.
FARM-TO-SEA LESSONS A landlocked farm boy's upbringing surprisingly shaped a seasoned sailor's approach to seamanship. Discover how anticipating breakdowns, listening intently, and "pushing hard" apply as much to a 34' yacht churning saltwater as they do to a tractor plowing earth.
UNVEILED MASTERPIECE Feadship's newest lady just splashed. At 249' (75.8 m), this titan of the sea, formerly Project 825, is a masterpiece of masculine elegance. Her glass-bottom pool and wellness center are just the beginning. A private owner's oasis awaits, complete with a touch-and-go helipad.
