Hello Boater
Beneteau Antares 12 Coupe
All-Season Family Cruiser
FLEXIBLE INSIDE & OUT-- Forget being stuck indoors—even though this Antares 12 coupe is built solid for all seasons. Beneteau made sure she's wide open and comfortable inside. And outside is a comfortable cockpit with an electrically lowered side deck. Cruise into a calm cove, hit a button, and you've got a whole waterside patio.
HOME AROUND THE WORLD Cormorant Yachts is all about go-anywhere capability. This 80-foot long-range cruiser is built to handle rough seas thanks to her wide, stable hull and high bulwarks for safety. With nearly 4,000 gallons of fuel and full system redundancy, she’s designed to be a reliable home for global travel, featuring a workshop and en-suite for every stateroom.

Pre-Owned Yacht Spotlight: "TENACITY"
1986 Bertram 58 Flybridge
MOTOR YACHT This vessel features an extensive list of custom factory options, including a hydraulic bow thruster. A specialized crash pump system with an emergency valve was installed to enhance hull breach mitigation. Since new, the boat has been maintained and serviced exclusively by the same certified Great Lakes mechanic.
INBOARD EFFICIENCY This propulsion breakthrough isn't just for outboards anymore. The revolutionary Sharrow design has finally come to inboard vessels from 28 to 90 feet. Get ready for superior handling, a quieter ride, and the best part: significantly lower fuel consumption. See how this advanced hydrodynamic wonder is changing the game for your next cruise.
50% MORE A Norwegian startup is lifting hulls onto a cushion of air to cut propulsion energy by as much as 50%. The AirHull system uses a ridge, a bow fan, and a stern flap to create a pressurized cavity, lifting the vessel 6-8″ out of the water. See how this innovative, non-hydrofoil tech is extending the range of two new electric vessels: a rugged aquaculture workboat and a classic wooden dayboat.
ENGINE SCOPE Carbon buildup is the silent enemy inside every outboard. Born Again Boater sent a tiny camera down the spark plug hole for alook at the hidden damage. The diagnosis led to a deep-clean that produced smoke and required an overnight soak. The final borescope check proves if this procedure truly saved the engine.

A falling (or decreasing) barometric pressure means the air mass above is getting lighter, which is the defining characteristic of a low-pressure system. Low-pressure systems are typically associated with unstable, rising air, which often brings increasing cloudiness, precipitation, and stronger winds.
