Horizon Power Catamaran PC 74:


Five Cabins and Huge Flybridge Deck


Horizon Power Catamaran PC 74
Horizon Power Catamaran PC 74

The Horizon Power Catamaran PC 74 continues a trend of large multi-hull yachts, taking advantage of the catamaran beam measurement to increase usable space. She's 28'4" (8.63 m) wide, creating entertainment areas far larger than we normally see in a monohull yacht of this LOA. The flying bridge alone has room for a bar, dining table, a helm with companion seating, and more.

Robalo 246 Cayman SD:


Center Console Fisherman w/Upper Station


Robalo 246 Cayman SD
Robalo 246 Cayman SD

The tower on the Robalo 246 Cayman SD gives the captain (or mate) a bird's-eye view, improving both the view ahead for spotting underwater obstructions in the shallows and the ability to spot fish and baitfish. She has a draft of just 12 inches with the motor up, so she invites poking into the flats where finny critters might be found.

Jeanneau NC 33:


Smartly Engineered for Two Couples


Jeanneau NC 33
Jeanneau NC 33

With several features readily convertible for multiple functions, the Jeanneau NC 33 feels bigger than her 34'5" (10.5 m) LOA according to our test captain. A side door adjacent to the helm makes for easy docking, and dual sliding sunroofs provide just the right combination of sunshine and airflow in the console area. She sleeps four belowdecks. The NC line is known for being a value proposition.

Yamaha VX Limited:


Family-Friendly, High-Performance
PWC Ready for Tubing


Yamaha VX Limited
Yamaha VX Limited

The Yamaha VX Limited can give the experienced rider an exciting day on the water, but she's also big enough and stable enough to act as a watersports platform for a family. She's powered with Yamaha's TR-1 High Output engine, which is 40% smaller than the motor it replaces, yet produces 12.7% more power. With a single rider aboard, hole-shot time was just 2.4 seconds, top speed 53.1 mph. The standard accessory package includes single-rider tube, tube inflator, tube holder, towline, and waterproof bag.

Yacht Registration

Register Your Boat Offshore


Yacht Registration

The Marshall Islands will now register boats down to 39’ (12 m).

Most boaters must register their vessels with the states in which they reside or use their boat. Larger boats are usually documented with the USCG, and still larger motoryachts have typically registered “offshore.” Talk to your accountant and lawyer to see if there are any advantages for you. The big news is that the Marshall Islands will now register boats down to 39’ (12 m).
