WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT? The Sovereign GM reports that Destin has more sand bars, and more boats per sand bar, and more bikini-clad ladies per boat, than anywhere else in Florida -- and he's checked them all! Located in the heart of the action, with a few Memberships still available in our Robalo DC306 -- (aka 'babe magnet.'), now's the time to get aboard. Crab Island is calling!
ON WATER BLISS The 310 Bowrider is your all-access pass to a superb day on the water. Formula engineered it to blend the excitement of tow sports and diving with the simple joy of socializing -- and kids love the in-water seat. A painted metallic-colored Formula hull is one of life's little can-you-top-this pleasures -- for kids of all ages.
CLASSY LADY Picture a hull whipped up by good ol' American Michael Peters, then the European Beneteau crew gets their hands on the rest – the looks, the tech, the fancy pillows. That's the Wellcraft 38. Optional features include gyro stabilization driven by lithium batteries, ensure quiet, reliable stability.
ALGORITHM ANARCHY AI churns out designs in seconds, but can it truly 'see' the sea? Designers are using this tech, yet a crucial question lingers: is it innovation, or illusion? Dive into how the industry balances digital speed with human wisdom, and what happens when algorithms meet the real world. (Say it ain't so, Joe.)
SUDDEN IMPACT A high-stakes bass tournament, a LeMons start, dozens of high-powered 20' boats racing to the favored fishing spot at 7 am , a blind turn -- what could go wrong? A speeding Nitro bass boat went around Miller Flats and slammed into a center console with 3 men aboard, one killed instantly and two drowned.
NAMING NONSENSE Is 'trawler' a fishing net, or a fantasy? 'Picnic' a boat? Today brother Tom rages against maritime madness, slicing through marketing fluff looking for the beef. Forget 'sport tugs' and 'seduction cruisers' – it's all just pleasure. See boat appellations stripped bare, then skewered, where only four names truly float.
