Riviera Belize 54 Daybridge

Premium Bluewater Motoryacht

The new Belize 54 Daybridge from Riviera Yachts provides an owner with a bluewater-capable cruising sedan that blends traditional styling with modern functionality. She blends the traditional indoor/outdoor livability with the latest technology including pod drives from Volvo Penta or Cummins Zeus, CZone digital switching and full on board systems monitoring. Because she’s part of the Belize family, which is more of a “boutique” builder, the 54 Daybridge can be customized to an owner’s specifications. As long as there are no changes to the structural integrity of the yacht, there isn’t anything the builder won’t entertain. More...

Hampton Yachts Technical Systems

Checklists Offer Peace of Mind

Sometimes it’s the simple things. More...

Formula 310 Bowrider OB

Premium Family Boat w/Power Choices

Formula offers the 310 Bowrider with sterndrive or outboard power and regardless of the choice, her helm has all the same features found on the company’s larger yachts. She comes standard with Mercury’s Joystick piloting so all captains will feel confident maneuvering around the docks and a Raymarine Axiom multifunction display. An inductive charger for a cell phone is on the flat just ahead of the port-side companion seat. The captain and a companion sit side-by-side on individual seats with flip-up bolsters. As always, the Formula Flex allows for customization that most builders in class can’t offer. More...

Seakeeper 1

Small Boats Want Roll Stabilization, Too

It makes sense that owners of smaller boats would want the same roll prevention that Seakeeper provides for larger yachts. The Seakeeper 1 is the smallest model in the company’s line of computer-controlled gyroscopic stabilizers. It can be installed on a boat as small as 23’ (7.01 m) and many builders are designing new models to accept the unit. It weighs 365 lbs. (165.56 kg) and if it’s installed low in a boat, a side benefit to the unit could be a more advantageous center of gravity. More...

Most cruisers who make the Great Loop usually travel in a counterclockwise direction and Lake Michigan is the last of the Great Lakes on their journey. One stop worth making is a peninsula that juts out into the lake from the western side that is called Door County, Wis. More...
