SiriusXM Marine Weather:
The Ultimate Weather Service for Boaters
BoatTEST.com’s Director of Testing, Capt. Steve, has spent a career running charter boats, head boats, high-speed commercial ferries, and other types of passenger boats in some of America’s most challenging waters. He understands the importance and value of up-to-the-minute, accurate weather information on the bridge to help keep his passengers safe, and in the case of fishing, to make a living. In case you haven’t guessed by now, he has little patience for the normal boating-industry hype and hyperbole. Today, in a video and in an in-depth Captain’s Report, he distills his experience with SiriusXM Weather Service. He suggests who should have it, and who doesn’t need it. He then explains what information it gives, how to use it, and why there is nothing on the market like it.

Sirena Yachts 64:
Comfort of a Superyacht in Owner/Operator LOA
The Sirena 64 uses her space and volume to welcome owner and guests aboard in ways we don’t often see in a boat of this size. Just one example: The flying bridge has a settee with dining table, alfresco galley, lounging space aft as well as an open-air shower. Also like a superyacht, the builder does everything in-house, so material choices are up to the buyer.
