TWELVE ON BOARD The Sea Ray SPX 210 shows how much usable space can fit in a 21-foot hull. Her 8'6" beam opens the cockpit for wraparound seating and a large aft sunpad, while the central ski locker keeps watersports gear organized. Powered by a 200 hp MerCruiser sterndrive, she reached 46.6 mph in BoatTEST trials and planes quickly for tow sports and day cruising.

OFFSHORE BOWRIDER The Formula 350 CBR is one of those boats that makes a bowrider feel a lot bigger than the label suggests. In BoatTEST trials with triple 350 hp Mercury V10 Verados, she reached 60.7 mph, yet still carries a proper cabin and head below. Formula’s crossover layout and painted finish make her fit for owners who want dayboat energy without giving up overnight use.

LIKE-NEW Dolce Far Niente is a lightly used, single-owner 2026 Sunseeker 88 Yacht presented in near-new condition. Her interior blends silver oak and smoked eucalyptus joinery with upgraded décor throughout. The layout includes a large master, forward VIP, and a main-deck day head. Equipped with fin stabilization, tropical A/C, and a full Garmin electronics suite, she is turnkey and available now in Palm Beach.

STEPS INTO THE SEA The Riviera 6200 Sport Yacht approaches the water differently. Her swim platform lowers and forms steps into the sea, then works with a roller system to launch a tender with the outboard still on. Add side boarding doors and an aft galley, and the whole stern becomes the center of the boat.

THE TRAINING GAP Even USCG-licensed captains below 500 tons have never had to pass a hands-on skills test. SaferBoater, a nonprofit with 300-plus instructors nationwide, runs the kind of on-water training that no state requires but probably should. Their certification is recognized in 30 countries.

BRIDGE CLEARANCE? Someone let a friend drive for one minute. Someone else skipped the drain plug at the ramp. A few captains bet their towers against a bridge and lost. This week's compilation is equal parts painful and hilarious.
