NO CREW NEEDED Nimbus approached the 495 Flybridge like a long-range cruiser for hands-on owners. The aft galley connects directly to the cockpit, side-deck boarding doors ease docking, and Volvo’s Assisted Docking system helps in tight-quarters. The optional third cabin can also work as a utility space or office.

TWIN-STEP SUN TOP The Axopar 38 Sun Top rides on a twin-stepped V hull with twin Mercury Verados pushing speeds past 50 mph. A sliding canvas roof opens or closes the cockpit in seconds, while the seating shifts from helm chairs to a U-sofa and sunbed with optional bulwark seating for up to 10 people aboard.

TRIPLE 600s, 580 HRS Located in Stuart, Florida, this 2023 Contender 44 pairs triple Mercury 600 V12s with joystick control, Skyhook, and a Seakeeper 3 for long runs offshore or tournament duty. Her tower, Garmin electronics suite, infrared camera, and oversized livewells lean hard toward serious fishing, while the berth inside the console adds overnight capability.

PAY AS NEEDED Sovereign Boat Fleet focuses on newer 27- to 31-foot boats suited for sandbar days, nearshore runs, and weekend trips without the fixed costs of ownership. Members choose the dates they want, pay only for those days, and rotate between Bradenton/Cortez, St. Pete, and Palm Beach depending on travel plans or weather.

DEALER EXPANSION One of the biggest hurdles for Sharrow props has been access. Now, a broader dealer network, showroom installations, and on-water testing make the props easier for boaters to evaluate before committing to a purchase.
