Absolute Navetta 58:
Lux Motoryacht for Cruising/Entertaining
Absolute’s new Navetta 58 has the look of a long-range cruiser with her plumb bow and protruding brow over her lower helm windshield. But, as this image shows, she is also an able dayboat entertaining platform with outside venues on her foredeck, aft deck and flying bridge. Her extra-large flying bridge has a spacious boat deck for a tender, as seen here, or as a sunning spot. The main deck is laid out with the galley between the aft cockpit and salon. She has luxurious appointments and amenities, as one would expect from a premium Italian-built vessel. Belowdecks she has a full-beam master stateroom and sleeps six in three cabins. More...
Sovereign Boat Club
West Palm Beach 37’ Loaded CC
Available for Club Use
There are not many opportunities to get the measure of a new $700,000 state-of-the-art center console and Sovereign Boat Club has one of them from now until April 15 in Riviera Beach, FL. This fully rigged vessel is completely outfitted for fishing. Because she has a Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer, a cabin for two below, a pair of wide facing bench seats in the cockpit, three captains' chairs at the helm and three more lounges forward, she makes a family-friendly cruiser as well. Get unlimited time or use her for just a few days. Several plans are available. More...

Axopar 28 Cabin:
Ready and Able to Run Offshore
The Axopar 28 Cabin has a twin-stepped bottom with a keel that extends all the way forward to the boat’s snub-nose, canoe bow. We tested her in 4’ to 6’ (1.22 m to 18.3 m) waves and she handled as well as any boat her size we have ever tested. In following seas, she sliced through the swells with ease. Putting her beam to the seas presented no more of a challenge as she charged through them, seemingly asking for more power to be applied. See the exciting video. More...
Captain's Report
Grady-White Canyon 376:
Center Console Built the Right Way
The Grady-White Canyon 376 has a rock-solid build that’s more than ready for a bluewater run. Her solid ride comes from hand-laid construction that includes all composite coring (no wood) in the molded fiberglass stringers, bulkheads and transverse support as well as the transom. Additionally, the transom on this model is reinforced with an aluminum angle brace to better distribute torque loads from powerful outboards. Grady has a well-deserved reputation for conducting warranty work with alacrity, something we can’t say about all builders in class. More...

Nitro ZV19 Sport:
Fishing Crossover Tops 50 MPH
Powered by a 225-hp Mercury outboard, the Nitro ZV19 Sport can answer the demands of a family that likes to fish and play with equal zeal. She planed in just 2.7 seconds in our test, so there will be no problem towing watersports. At 5850 rpm, we hit a top speed of 52.2 mph so she can cover some ground when changing fishing spots or outrunning a storm. More...

They Should Have Watched Smart Boating!
