FUN ALL AROUND. The Formula 457 CCS isn't just a boat; she's an escape vessel. With triple 600-hp Mercury outboards, spacious accommodations and a host of intriguing features, she is good for cruising from Miami's Stiltsville to Nassau for lunch or exploring the Abacos on a weekend getaway.
12.8 FEET WIDE. The Aquila 32 Sport Catamaran offers a change to traditional monohull day boating with a spacious layout, powerful performance and innovative design. If you haven't had the opportunity to operate a catamaran, you'll be impressed with the maneuverability of the wide-set outboards.
COMMAND THE SEAS. The Navetta 62 showcases a fusion of design and practicality, making her a good choice for long cruises and hosting gatherings in the harbor. She was one of the first builders to have two perpendicular to the transom aft deck settees.
PRE-OWNED SPOTLIGHT. With a freshly serviced Seakeeper and engines, plus a warranty extending until 9/13/2025, this boat is primed and ready for its new owner. Suited for fishing, diving and cruising, this quad-powered Jupiter 43 is a versatile vessel. The seller is highly motivated and eager to entertain all offers.
DON'T DROWN IN NEGLECT. Ever fallen overboard? It's a terrifying experience that could be prevented with a simple safety measure — a functional boarding ladder. Many boats simply lack them (read: sailboats), or the builder has cheaped-out on providing sturdy ones that reach at least 22" below the water's surface.
CRUSING DESTINATIONS. As we winterize boats for the off-season start planning next season's adventures. Take a look at Herring Bay located 15 miles south of Annapolis and 30 miles north of Solomons in Maryland. Herring Bay is home to the largest amount of deep-water, protected boat slips on the Bay.
How did they not see that coming? This week's video lineup includes a photoshoot unexpectedly interrupted, a rapid 3-deck plunge, a beachgoer taking an unplanned dip, and even more wild surprises.
