The new Sunseeker Predator 65 is an express built on the same hull as the company’s Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht. She is offered with more layout options including galley up or down, a private office and a dedicated day head, plus three en suite staterooms. Despite the fact that she’s an express, there is a remarkable amount of outside sunning space. The British sales manager for Sunseeker gives a good look at the Predator 65 in this video. More...
Pardo Yachts now builds five models from 38’ to 60’ (11.58 m to 18.28 m). All are day boats except the E60, which is an exceptional boat that should be seen. Pardo’s lines are eye-catching because they are clean and different. Three of its models will be on display at the Palm Beach Boat Show, March 24-27. Above is the 43, which we have tested.

With the 49 Euro Pilothouse, North Pacific Yachts said it wanted to move away from traditional trawler layouts to appeal to a more contemporary customer. Part of the “Euro” designation is a sliding glass salon door that’s at least 10’ (3.05 m) wide and creates a 4’ (1.22 m) wide opening that can be filled with a bug screen or privacy shade. Another element of the Euro package was moving the galley to the main deck just inside the aforementioned door so it can serve the salon and aft deck easily. Because she’s an LRC, the 49 Euro Pilothouse has a full-sized stainless-steel refrigerator. Photos by Jim Raycroft. More...
One way that the New Hampshire builder keeps the Eastern 248 Islander so affordable is that it doesn’t over-equip her, especially at the helm. There’s space for a 9” (22.86 cm) multifunction display and our test boat had two gauges, a tachometer and fuel level. When the time comes to add things like a depth sounder, the entire helm can be tilted aft for easy access. More...

Twenty-seven years ago, few people had heard the term “Internet.” When it became commercially available years later most people were trying to figure out why they would ever need it. Now most people worry how they would survive without it. As such, we are compelled to bring our computers to sea as best we can. More...
Chemical engineers at MIT have created a new material that is stronger than steel, light as plastic and can be manufactured in large quantities, they say. These engineers hope the material could be used as a lightweight, durable coating for car parts or cell phones or as a building material for boats and bridges. More...
