Presidential Yacht Honey Fitz is available for charter.
Hello Boater
New Regal 43 SAV
Fishing Power, Family Fun
FRIENDS AND FISHING. Designed for fishing enthusiasts and family boaters the new Regal 43 SAV checks a lot of boxes. She functions as both a fishing powerhouse and a well-appointed entertaining vessel. Every boat is a compromise, but abundant functionality is not one of them on this new vessel.
ARTISTRY AND VALUE. Hargrave Custom Yachts are crafted from the ground up in their Turkish shipyard, benefiting from a strategic duty-free zone location to offer significantly added value. Capt Boomies and BoatTEST founder Jeff Hammond explore the yacht through the eyes of both the owner and the crew.
FASTER IN THE MID-RANGE. The Sharrow equipped Sportsman Masters 267 surprised us because average fuel efficiency in this application increased 10% in the mid-RPM range. (Usually, Sharrows are 15-30% better!). Perhaps it's because speeds averaged 45% faster in the same RPM range. Remarkable.
SANS PODS. One of the last Meridian 44s built, her straight shafts are paired with dual Cummins QSB 6.7L 480 HP engines with low hours. This 44 has bow and stern thrusters with a remote that allows you to command the thrusters from anywhere onboard, and it is ready for her next adventure.
HISTORY AT THE HELM. Explore the Honey Fitz, a remarkable yacht that once served as a presidential retreat. This meticulously restored vessel carries the weight of history, offering a glimpse into the world of yachting during the Kennedy era. Discover the Honey Fitz's fascinating past, from its surprising wartime role to its luxurious modern amenities. Learn more about chartering this piece of maritime history!
