The Kadey-Krogen 48 AE is one of seven displacement trawlers in the company’s line. She is essentially a smaller version of the much-heralded Kadey-Krogen 58. She comes in several different arrangement plans so owners can have a boat built for their needs — couples cruising, for children and grandchildren or just exploring the world. See our sneak peek ->
If she looks like an Axopar, that’s because she is. But one with a big difference. Brabus, a German company that specializes in turning luxury automobiles into ultra-lux vehicles, has remade this vessel. Brabus has created a bespoke interior and beefed up the hull to handle 900 hp on the transom. The 35'5" (11.73 m) Shadow 900 ST is strictly for people who want the best and can afford it.

The World Cat 280DC-X promises 35% more usable space than a monohull of similar LOA due to her 9’2” (2.79 m) beam carried well forward. The cat design also delivers quicker planing, improved fuel economy, greater beam stability, and a smoother ride in rough seas. WOT speed with twin 200s was 48.5 mph. See Our Video ->
This 47’ (14.3 m) Intrepid has been upgraded with new quad 400-hp engines (w/Mercury warranty until 2030). Within the last three years, she has had a new Kohler generator, Seakeeper 6 and fridge/freezer installed. Her price has been reduced by $100k. See the Listing ->

Lounging As You Like It
Riviera’s mezzanine design is incorporated into many of its models because it can be used for so many purposes. In the Riviera 465 SUV, the starboard bench seat doubles so that a couple can lounge together. In the lee of the house, it makes a cozy spot to hang out on almost any day at anchor. See Our Video ->
