New Boat Video

2,900 Sq. Ft. of Living Space w/A Salon to Die For

Her U.S. debut is Wednesday at the Ft.

Fairline Phantom 65

Home Sweet Home

The British-built Fairline Phantom 65 has the space and comforts to serve as a full-time residence for a fortunate family, but more likely the owners will be flying in to meet her where the yachting elites gather around the world. She’s available with three or four staterooms below and lots of exterior lounging space to enjoy sea and sun.

Ferretti 1000 Skydeck

Take It to the Limit

With the skydeck as spacious and elegant as the main salon of many yachts, the Ferretti 1000 welcomes large gatherings and lots of guests. Power is twin MTU 16V 2000 M86 diesels and fuel capacity is 2,378 gal. (9,000 L), so she’s ready for both long passages or fast hops between harbors. She'll be at the Ferretti exhibit at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show. See Our Video ->

Axopar 45 Cross Top

Speedy Dayboat w/ Social Spaces Everywhere

Balcony doors amidships on the Axopar 45 open to become lounges and can also make an easy spot to launch a paddleboard or kayak.  Gull wing doors open the cabin to maximum air flow. The reversed windshield eliminates glare and keeps the helm completely dry, while the sunroof effectively makes her an open day boat.

Winches

The Lone Star Drum Winch

Solves Vertical Windlass Problems

If you’ve had snafus with your vertical windlass, it’s not just you — they are problematic on many boats and applications.  The solution is a horizontal drum winch made by Lone Star. You never again have to go to the foredeck to anchor and retrieve your anchor — it can all be done from the safety of your dry cockpit. See our video ->

Cruising

Cruising Southwest Florida

The southwest coast of Florida offers some of the state’s best fishing, lots of protected harbors, tidal creeks and islands to explore. The best time to go is now through the spring. (Check your planned stops though — many areas are still recovering from Hurricane Ian.) More ->
