FAMILY-OWNED BRAND. NX Boats is celebrating its 10th year in business. During that time, the company has built more than 1,700 boats — most sold in South America, some in Europe and now in North America. As a rule, we like family-owned businesses because their reputation is riding on the quality of their boats and the service they provide. Get to know a new brand that fills a gap in the American market — affordable express cruisers.
A CLOSER LOOK. Everglades is distinguished for being overbuilt throughout and for innovations like the rotating dual helm seat/leaning post. Upscale standards include power windshield and hardtop, faux teak decking, twin Garmin MFDs and through-the-stem anchor with power windlass.
OUR FIRST FOILING TEST. We wanted to know if Fliteboard's new Flitescooter was just for kids or if Baby Boomers could do it too. We found "Boomer" George Laycock, who has foiled more than 2,700 miles in two years, to teach Capt. Trip. After a couple of falls, he foiled, and then foiled again and again. He says it's so much fun, every boat should have at least one Flitescooter.
BOATING BUSINESS. Follow an experienced yacht delivery team from Halcyon Yachts on this 1,000-mile journey from Nassau, Bahamas to Annapolis aboard a Fleming 78 that’s more than up to the task.
Tom Fexas was a prognosticator of things to come in yachting and accurately predicted the popularity of expedition-style superyachts, the retro fad and the death of tail fins, among other things. More than a few boats are being finished like a Steinway Piano and Tom predicts what will happen next.
