New Regal 43 SAV

Fishing in Comfort

Regal 43 SAV _Mahi Mayhem_ 2024 by BoatTEST-low

NEW VIDEO. Captain Trip and crew head offshore from Key Largo to chase mahi and explore the fishing features of the new Regal 43 SAV (Sports Activity Vessel). She proved to be as ‘fishy’ as any center console in class and a lot more comfortable than the meat-only variety. Check out the gourmet lunch cooked up on the Regal’s cockpit grill for a boat load of hangry anglers.

New Great Loop Record Run!

6,000 Miles in 19 Days, 19 Hours, 50 Minutes

Capt. Red Flowers set a new recorst for the fastes time around the Great Loop, which he sent in a Canyon BAy 28h powered by a 400-hp V10 equipped with a Sharrow X10 for part of the trip.

GREAT LOOP RUN FOR THE KIDS. Capt. Red Flowers (above, right), a stage-four cancer survivor, drove a Canyon Bay 28h powered by a 400-hp V10 engine to set a new speed record for completing the 6,000-mile Great Loop — with a little help from the first Sharrow prop designed expressly for the V10. Capt. Red made the mad dash to raise $1 Million for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation. See the video on how he did it, running day and night. Will you help Capt. Red help the kids?

Azimut Seadeck 7

Eco-Friendly Cruising for 8

Azimut Seadeck 7

FIRST LOOK. The SeaDeck 7 (71’2”/21.7 m) is distinguished by a salon that flows seamlessly into the aft deck, where fold-out balconies blend into the swim platform creating not only a teak beach, but a virtual floating island. All she needs is a palm tree. The new SeaDeck series begins Azimut's first venture into hybrid power.
