Belize 66 Daybridge:
Next-Level Attention to Detail
A luxury yacht enthusiast with a trained eye will find that Belize has paid attention to the fine details on the 66 Daybridge. Bullnose teak trim is installed in a single piece, which means that it is steamed and bent to fit a rounded corner — and there are zero sharp ones anywhere on the boat. Throughout the boat, the joinery work was virtually flawless. Countertops are stone, and air conditioning is hidden in the valances in the overhead for more even cooling. The towel racks in the master head are heated. Underfoot, the teak sole in the salon and the treads on the open-design daybridge stairs have an exposed open grain and they’re finished with a silica-based varnish to improve traction. Many man-hours have been lavished on this boat, something that only veteran boat owners will be able quickly see and appreciate. More...

On the main deck, the door between the salon and cockpit slides out of the way, seamlessly connecting the two entertainment areas. Belowdecks, the open-plan atrium at the bottom of the companionway stairs makes the area feel more open, and pocket- doors to the staterooms take up less space. More...

How to Use Throttles at High Speed
Knowing how to use throttles helps a driver maximize a boat’s efficiency.
When driving a powerboat, a captain focuses on using the steering wheel and the throttles as the two main controls, with other equipment like tabs and drive/outboard trim being set up and then left alone.
