New Cannes Flagship | Faster Props | $100K Upgrade Boat - 8/13/2026

CANNES DEBUT Saxdor built its 460 GTC around an enclosed wheelhouse. The new 460 GTS strips that structure away for a fully open layout, built for owners who want more deck and less cabin. Optional sliding doors close things off when weather turns. She debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.
 

FISH OR TOW Three Dauntless models share one idea: a center console that works as hard for anglers as it does for everyone else aboard. Pedestal fishing seats and an optional livewell handle fishing. The All-Activity Tower makes any of the three a watersports boat, powered by Mercury outboards under Whaler's unsinkable hull.
 

$100K+ IN UPGRADES Located in Westbrook, CT, this 2016 Tiara 44 Coupe has received more than $100,000 in upgrades, including a teak hydraulic swim platform, retractable cockpit sunshade and 3000-watt inverter. Below are two cabins and two heads, while twin Volvo Penta IPS 600s provide joystick docking.
 

STEP UP IN SIZE NauticEd's Skipper Large Powerboat course covers boats 27 feet and up, from docking and maneuvering to weather calls and emergency response. The 20-hour program works across drive types, and lifetime access means the material is there whenever a bigger trip comes up.
 

130 DAYS TO 3 Sharrow Marine's custom loop-blade propellers used to take 130 days to cast. A new partnership with Ford's Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center in Detroit changed that. Using industrial 3D sand-printing tech, Sharrow now produces a finished mold in a single 14-hour cycle, cutting total lead time to 3 days.
 

WET ISN'T ROTTEN High moisture readings can make a boat buyer nervous, but they do not prove a balsa core has rotted. Moisture meters detect water, percussion sounding checks the bond, and a core sample provides the definitive answer. Wet core still needs attention, even when fungal decay has not occurred.
