Cruisers Yachts 42 Cantius:
New Resin-Infused Family Cruiser
The Cruisers Yachts 42 Cantius is a sporty two-stateroom express cruiser that makes excellent use of her exterior deck areas – including a lounge-ready foredeck – to expand the usable onboard space. But it’s the way she goes together that sets her apart, with a resin-infused hull that’s cored in the sides and bottom, adding strength and reducing weight to provide better speeds with the smaller 370-hp Volvo Penta IPS500s.

Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless:
Coastal Dayboat w/Innovation
The slight downward slope at the bow and stern of the Boston Whaler 270 Dauntless indicate her mission as a coastal dayboat and family fisherman, and the squared off bow provides added room for seating or enjoying the sunshine. Remove the cushions and it becomes a broad casting deck. The optional Swim Patio is a combination of dive door and swim platform, set into the side of the hull on sturdy stainless steel brackets.

Monte Carlo Yachts 96:
Hi-Tech Function Meets Italian Form
All of the circuit breakers, electrical system switches, inverters, and converters for the Monte Carlo Yachts 96 are in this remarkable control room, something we rarely see on boats in class. It is positioned forward of the engine room and serves as a buffer to aid in sound attenuation, as well as an easy-to-reach place for quick attention. The engine room is equally bright, well-marked, and easy to access for daily checks by the experienced owner/operator or captain.

Sirena Yachts 64:
Max Cube in Sea-Going Design
The Sirena Yachts 64 has a 19’4” (5.89 m) beam with a plumb bow and vertical stern which means that her exterior dimensions can be maxed inside for much more room than we generally find in boats of this size. She was designed by German Frers, a lead international naval architect of both racing sailboats and large motoryachts. He knows how to make a boat slippery in the water.

Smart Features Real Boaters Like
The Grady-White Freedom 325 is a dual console boat with an integrated windshield and hardtop, and this builder pays attention to smaller details, too. For example, the integrated grabrail to help guests move about the helm deck safely in a seaway. Other features, such as convertible seating in three areas of the cockpit, keep both fishermen and family happy depending on what the day will hold.
