Ramp Mayhem | Full-Beam Cabin | Boat That Transforms - 10/31/25

53-KNOT CONVERTIBLE Aiata’s debut, the Wayfinder 38, is a high-speed platform built around adaptability. Her twin-stepped hull, designed by Jarkko Jämsén, delivers a composed ride even at 50 knots on twin outboards up to 850 HP. Backed by the engine expertise of Anadolu Group, she balances that punch with a brilliantly modular design, allowing her to transform from an open dayboat to an enclosed cruiser, long after she leaves the showroom.

LONG-RANGE LIVEABILITY Sirena Yachts, known for efficient Frers-designed semi-displacement hulls, clearly prioritizes life aboard. The Sirena 60's substantial beam and hull form allow for an amidships, full-beam owner’s suite that feels expansive. Key to her liveability: a galley enlarged by nearly 20 percent over the 58 and a staircase refined for less intrusion, dedicating maximum volume to living spaces. She evokes an enduring sense of calm.

THREE CABINS ABOARD A true long-distance family cruiser, the Antares 12 Coupe is designed for extended trips. Her use of space is noteworthy, featuring a modular third cabin that converts between a single berth and extra storage. An electrically deployed starboard terrace also lowers to water level, instantly expanding the cockpit and simplifying swimming access. She is built on decades of Beneteau know-how to make extended time aboard simple and comfortable.

BOOMSTICKS ON WATER It sounds like fiction, but it's a real and rapidly growing trend on the Chesapeake: a dozen or more pointy-hatted figures paddling through City Dock and down the Bay. We detail the origins of the phenomenon, which started with a handful of women and now draws hundreds of participants across multiple states, complete with festivals and floating broomsticks.
