Formula 500 SSC
Luxurious Crossover w/2,400-HP
The Formula 500 SSC is the largest iteration, so far, of the company’s remarkably popular Super Sport Crossover series. She’s intended for owners who want to head to the islands or other destinations for fishing, scuba diving, swimming or just plain getting away from it all. Her “SmartZone” concept optimizes the yacht’s entertaining potential with multiple gathering areas under the hardtop or in open air in the stern.
Belowdecks, she sleeps four and she's powered by quad Mercury 600-hp V12 Verado outboards. For those who have just entered the room: Formula is one of the largest sellers of express yachts in the U.S. and is known for its high-quality fit-and-finish and remarkable hull paint over fiberglass that keeps their boats looking new for many years.

Ocean Alexander 28R
An Ocean-Going Triplex Maisonette
The 90’2” (27.48 m) Ocean Alexander 28R is nothing short of breath-taking on the inside, and on the inside looking out. For those traditional, mossbacked yachtsmen, her profile may take some getting used to but be advised that she was designed by Evan K. Marshall, who learned his craft on the drawing boards at S&S. For those fortunate few who have the good sense to escape to the water, most need little more than this floating residence. If this sounds like hyperbole, take a look at our video and detailed report and decide for yourself. And, at 228,000 lbs. (103,000 kgs.) with a beam of 22’5” (6.83 m), she should be a solid ride most anywhere. More...
Intrepid 475 Panacea
Pioneering Crossover Center-Console
Intrepid Boats pioneered the concept of center-consoles as more than utilitarian fishing machines and the 475 Panacea is a prime example. She’s custom-built to an owner’s specifications and can entertain, fish or cruise with equal aplomb. She can be powered with a choice of outboards to suit an owner’s preference. More...
Yamaha VX Deluxe
Exciting 3-Up PWC
Yamaha’s VX Deluxe is a well-equipped PWC designed to carry three passengers. She features Yamaha’s RiDE Technology and Cruise Assist/No Wake. What makes this watercraft fun is her handling. She’s just plain fun to ride. Crank over the handlebars and she carves a clean, sweeping arc. When accelerating, she’s adrenalized but not overwhelming. More...

Why Corrosion Protection is So Important
Proper corrosion protection is critical on any type of boat and especially for those used in salt and brackish water. The corrosion-protection systems that builders install must adhere to American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards for a boat to be certified by the National Marine Manufacturer’s Association (NMMA).
