For those who want to get to the fish – or the party – in a hurry, the Intrepid 407 Cuddy is the way to go. Powered with triple 400-hp Mercury Racing outboards, she topped out at 58.0 mph. We can envision her making quick crossings to the islands, long-range tournament fishing, overnighting at resorts, and lots more. She sleeps 4 in a mid-cabin queen and a convertible-V settee belowdecks.

The Monte Carlo Yachts 105 uses monocoque construction to allow owners to work with the company’s in-house designers and engineers to make truly one-of-a-kind interior spaces. The model we tested was set up with a huge master suite on the main deck and four spacious staterooms belowdecks, each lighted with the signature round portholes that add a timeless touch to her updated styling. Interior décor and furnishings are limited only by the owner's preferences, with designer materials available throughout.

Beneteau Oceanis 41.1

The hydraulic swim platform of the Beneteau Oceanis 41.1 lowers at the touch of a button to provide a teak beach for a bit of relaxing with easy access to the water, yet folds out of way to optimize performance when the sails are raised. The yacht is offered in two- or three-stateroom configurations with one or two heads, and provides both the onboard space and performance to go day sailing, racing, and even to go cruising.

Bluewater 2550:


Twin 200-hp Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboards Deliver 2.5 MPG at Cruise


Bluewater 2550
Bluewater 2550

Powered with twin high-efficiency 200-hp Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards, the Bluewater 2550 had a top speed of 52.0 mph in our tests, and got 2.5 mpg at a cruise of 26.0 mph, giving her a range of nearly 400 SM. The outboard bracket sets the engines farther from the transom, which allows for a higher mounting height, reducing drag from the lower units, and positions the engines in cleaner water for more efficiency.
