Fountaine Pajot MY 37:
Light is Right for Catamarans
It is important in catamarans to keep the build light. The lighter it is, the more weight-carrying capacity it has, the faster it can go, and seakeeping abilities are enhanced. The twin hulls of the Fountaine Pajot MY 37 are built with resin-infused, parquet-style balsa coring resulting in a hull that’s light but strong and rigid. End-grained balsa core is also more puncture-resistant than is PVC foam, which many builders use.

Boston Whaler 350 Outrage:
Solid Build w/Observation Tower
Powered with triple 300-hp Mercury Verados, the Boston Whaler 350 Outrage is fast, with a top speed of 54.3 mph. She’s also solidly built, giving a running weight of over 14,000 pounds (6,350 kg), which should improve the ride in rough seas as well as making her more stable. The optional upper command station provides a good place to spot fish, weed lines, and coral heads.

Ocean Alexander 85 Motoryacht:
Ready for Elegant Dining
The formal dining area of the Ocean Alexander 85 Motoryacht welcomes gracious dinners afloat while guests enjoy the passing waterways via the large windows. The area is separated from the galley by a mirrored bulkhead, and a pocket-door is optional. There’s lots more dining and partying space topside on the expansive flying bridge—which can be enclosed as a Skylounge—and on the aft deck.

Formula 270 Bowrider:
Only for a Select Few
Our test skipper found the Formula 270 Bowrider delivers on high-speed handling: With 2 ½ turns on the steering wheel from lock-to-lock, she responds rapidly, and operators have the feel of the water and the boat, much like what drivers experience in a BMW. But, like a BMW, she is expensive, and not a boat for everyone.
