Hello Boater
New Antares 12 Coupe
Tiny Home On The Water
ALL SEASONS CRUISER Beneteau, a French builder with a century-long legacy, is known for creating accessible boats with a high degree of livability. The Antares 12 Coupe showcases this with a three-cabin layout below deck. With a private en-suite master and a modular third cabin, she feels like a much larger cruiser, inviting you to stay aboard for longer.
A NEW BREED The Aquila 46 Coupe is a lesson in balance. With her low profile, sleek lines, and expansive windows, she offers a sophisticated design that feels both refined and connected to the water. Her double stepped hulls and carbon fiber foils aren't just for show—they provide better fuel efficiency for a cruising vessel built to go anywhere.

The Grand Unveiling
A New Era for Riva
YACHTS WITH WINGS At a private event on Lake Iseo, Italy, Riva debuted four new yachts, but the premiere was about more than just boats.

It's a look at how Riva is expanding its influence far beyond the water.
LESS IS MORE Size isn't everything when it comes to adventure. The article follows a captain who chose a small trawler for a big trip, a journey that’s taken him from San Francisco to the Panama Canal. He shares how her modest size and simple systems make it easy to get underway, offering a look at how to get out there and start living the dream without waiting for the perfect boat.
BIG BOATS, LOW PRICE Ever wonder what happens to a seized or abandoned boat? This article takes a deep dive into the surprising world of boat auctions, featuring a collection of remarkable vessels that found new owners under the hammer. From a 95-meter that underwent a massive rebuild to an award-winning design sold for millions, it’s a peek at a world most of us will never see.
In this "head-on" situation in inland waters, both vessels are required to take action to pass safely. When vessel "II" sounds one short blast, it is proposing a port-to-port passing. Your vessel, "I," should also sound one short blast to acknowledge and agree to the maneuver, then maintain course and speed to complete the passing safely.
