LESS THAN 3FT DRAFT The Galeon 430 EXP is f or the person who wants big-yacht capability without having to manage a superyacht.  Galeon pushed the beam all the way forward, and the aft deck is large and flexible. Think of it as a perfect spot for your water toys or just a massive lounge area. And her 2'11" draft means you can sneak her into those shallow anchorages that other boats this size have to skip.  

SKIP THE PROPS Assembled by Yamaha, a company that builds its engines and hulls specifically to operate as one system. With 500 horses of supercharged power and a low 19-inch draft, she delivers explosive holeshot and surprisingly nimble handling, thanks to the DRiVE® X system. This is the flagship wakesurfer from a brand famous for creating Kando—that satisfying rush of excitement when everything works perfectly. Her 1,600 pounds of ballast is integrated with WakeBoosters to shape the perfect wave.
 

GLOBAL TRAWLER We don't often create videos for pre-owned vessels, but this 2022 Nordhavn 63, Martini, demands attention. She’s a blue-water cruiser brought to a higher standard— that feels more like a newly commissioned build than a two-year-old boat. Her meticulous maintenance and expedition-ready gear make her a rare jewel in the brokerage market. This is what finding the perfect trawler looks like.

SMOOTHER & QUIETER We caught up with the owner of the Leopard 46 catamaran Seapaws after running Sharrow Props for a full year. The owner reports a significant difference in both fuel use and boat handling. The biggest surprise? The drop in vibration and sound was so noticeable, he gave the props an unusual "pet-friendly" rating. This is the real-world data we've been waiting for on a large cruiser.

10 KNOT MANDATE This season, it’s important to be aware of new federal regulations affecting vessels 65 feet and longer. These rules set a maximum speed of 10 knots in seasonal zones, which extend well offshore and include many approaches to East Coast ports along the Atlantic migratory route. As you plan your next trip south, take time to review where and when these speed limits are in effect—staying informed ensures safe, responsible cruising and helps protect our marine environment.
