32 FEET WIDE At 72 feet with a 32'8" beam, the GranOcean W72 fits five staterooms, a full galley, a salon with bar and dining, a hydraulic tender platform, and an open or enclosed flybridge into a single-level powercat. Twin 550-hp Cummins diesels are standard. The tested CAT C-18s reached 26 knots in 18-knot wind and near 6-foot seas.

DESIGNED TO ADAPT CLX99 is a 30.6-meter build from CL Yachts with three distinct main deck layout configurations, each tailored to a different ownership style. Five ensuite staterooms, an optional foredeck jacuzzi, and an expanded sky lounge deliver long range comfort. Connect with a CL Yachts ambassador to explore your configuration.

OFFSHORE MILES The Fleming 65 carries enough fuel to cross oceans at displacement speeds, yet twin 800-hp MAN diesels can push her to 17.3 knots when needed. Multiple cabin plans, a same-level salon and galley, and a systems-heavy engine room reflect a boat designed to keep going rather than turn back.

50 METERS Delivered in 2021, Heesen's 164-foot ELA combines an efficient aluminum hull with six staterooms for 14 guests and a crew of 12. A full-beam owner's suite, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, open-air cinema, and a submersible swim platform support extended cruising, while twin MTU diesels and zero-speed stabilizers support passagemaking and reduce roll at anchor.

IPX3 VS IPX7 Most marine stereos are rated IPX3, not IPX7, meaning they're not entirely waterproof and need to be mounted out of the spray. Just one of the distinctions between a system that will survive the season and one that won't. Read Part 1 of a practical guide to getting boat audio right.

PHYSICS ALWAYS WINS A yacht challenges a cargo ship and loses the argument instantly. Elsewhere, a skipper falls asleep at the helm, another wedges into a tight dock, and a passenger tries to fend off a boat while standing in front of a running propeller. Expensive mistakes are common on the water, but some leave almost no room for error.
