Hello Boater,

New Interior Video

Valder Yachts 66' Catamaran

Interior Space Ship

There are 2 main reasons why large cruising catamarans have become so popular: 1) Interior space; 2) stability underway.  But Valder Yachts adds a third reason to like its cruising cat -- speed. Made of 100% carbon fiber, she is both spacious and relatively light.

This yacht is not at FLIBS -- but she is in Ft. Lauderdale available for private viewing by appointment only.  Call Justin at 561-373-1887.

Fine Motoryacht, Expertly Built

The Pearl 95 is one of the most expertly built and finished motoryachts we have seen in class. She really must be seen -- and be compared -- in order to appreciate the high level of craftsmanship and design care that has gone into this vessel. A new one is available at FLIBS.  See our video preview...

Test Video

True North 34 OE

Go Anywhere, Do Everything

The True North 34 OE has some Downeast lobster boat heritage but also offers a surprisingly comfortable overnight space for two and some plush “picnic boat” touches that give her eye appeal. With twin 300-hp Suzukis, her range at 20 knots is around 240 NM, while WOT was 34.1 knots in our test. See Our Video ->
