START FROM SCRATCH. A number of brands have production boats in this size range but they come out of molds that can't be changed and the layouts are pretty much fixed. Not so with a Hargrave Custom Yacht. Each hull built in their Turkish yard is built from scratch in a duty-free zone that allows Hargrave — which has always been known for value — a pricing advantage. The result is a custom yacht at a lower price than what we typically see. See our Hargrave 118 Tri-deck video.
BATTLEWAGON W/O THE BAGGAGE. The BostonWhaler 420 Outrage is just the right cure for pain in the wallet owners of large sportfishermen have. No crew needed, reduced maintenance bills, lower insurance rates and fewer lost dollars in depreciation. She's also one of the best-engineered vessels in class.
PERFORMANCE VIDEO. The 46 SMY is tailored for couples’ getaways yet spacious enough to welcome family and friends for the weekend. The mezzanine provides views and added dining. Twin Volvo Penta 950 IPS drives provide a WOT speed just under 35 knots, with a 285 NM range cruising at 23 knots.
PRE-OWNED. This Formula 380 SSC is powered by triple Mercury 450R outboards and she will fly! She includes radar, satellite TV, AC at the helm and in the cabin, a 7.5 kW generator, joystick control, bow thruster, Seakeeper 3 and Formula’s famed painted hull. She has a full package of Raymarine electronics and a sunroof.
CHEATING THE GREAT LOOP. Take the easy way around Florida on your Great Loop journey and see some of Florida’s quiet backcountry along the way. This route cuts over 400 nautical miles off the trip and is surprisingly scenic.
BOATING GEAR. Foul weather gear can make or break a passage, especially in colder seasons when wind and rain might be a part of any day. Here are some tips on getting gear that will keep you and your crew happy.
HALCYON YACHT DELIVERY. The Halcyon delivery crew navigates a well-seasoned Trader 58 from Brighton, on the south coast of England, to Port Medoc on the Bay of Biscay, a journey of over 500 miles powered by aged, but trustworthy, Caterpillar diesels.
