Monte Carlo Yachts MCY 76 Skylounge:

High-Style Large Motoryacht

The second model in the Monte Carlo Yachts Skylounge series, the 76 has the motoryacht’s only helm station on the enclosed flying bridge – which the builder calls a skylounge. This allows for more design flexibility on the main deck where an owner can choose a forward or aft galley. Note the bow entertainment area.

Editor's Report

Sunreef 80:

Transatlantic Cat for Cruising

A 78’6” (23.93 m) catamaran with a beam of 39’4” (11.99 m), the Sunreef 80 has a length to beam ratio of nearly 2:1. That gives her interior volume of approximately 3,875 sq. ft. (360 sq. m), which is unimaginable in a monohull yacht of a similar length. Last year, she went to the Miami Boat Show from Europe, in the dead of winter, on her own bottom. None other than Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa, a friend of the builder, was there to greet her.

MasterCraft X24:

Wakesports Platform Seats 18

Yamaha SuperJet:

Stand Up Thrills

Yamaha introduced its re-intended SuperJet stand-up personal watercraft last year. While the original one required a racing license just to buy it, the new model is definitely for recreational riders with a 4-stroke engine, adjustable handle pole, a speed-limiting “learning mode” and a much more forgiving bottom design. It’s a stand-up PWC for the young at heart and body.

OOOPS!!!

They Should Have Watched Smart Boating!

Sometimes it's not what you know, but what you've forgotten. We have the perfect solution for you.

Based on the feedback we've been getting about BoatTEST.com's Video Boating Course, it's clearly not only for beginners but for veteran boaters as well. Perhaps that is why the NMMA started promoting the course after just one look. It's the most complete boating course available... period. Order your 4-disc box set...
