TEST OF DIESEL & ELECTRIC. There are more motoryacht models available in the 58' to 60' (17.6 m to 18.2 m) range than any other, so that puts a premium on differentiation. The most dramatic difference with the Greenline 58 is its hybrid power system that can have a 110kWh battery pack (55 kWh is standard). That means when in "economical distance" mode, she has remarkable range. See how much in the video.
ENJOY AN EXCLUSIVE CHARTER on the 135' (41 m) Stay Salty, which just came out of refit and is ready for a charter party of 12 (six staterooms) in the lap of luxury. She has a South African crew of six, including a gourmet chef, lots of toys plus spa amenities. 7 and 8-day charters in the Bahamas & BVI available.
WALKTHROUGH VIDEO. Captain Trip does a walkthrough of five pocket cruisers small enough to be trailered and large enough to function as weekenders for the family. Check out the inventive designs maximizing space on these practical and relatively affordable boats.
BUILT FOR A FAMILY. Like the Starship Enterprise, the flagship of the Riviera SUV fleet, the handsome 645 with her platinum coast roof and sweeping shear, is ready for adventure. We don't often see a triple-seat helm with the captain inboard and that's not the only thing different about this yacht. She's built with TLC.
PRODUCT REVIEW. A SeaVee 390 with triple 350-hp Mercurys got 9% to 57% greater speed from 2500 to 4000 RPM with Sharrow props compared to conventional blades — and pegged 53.7 MPH at WOT. With a performance like that, who needs quads?
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Today, many dealers are over-inventoried. That's bad for them but good for you. Now is your best time to mitigate depreciation by buying a boat at a significant discount. It always takes a little courage to buck a trend, but we've seen this movie before
BE PREPARED. If your boat suddenly loses all propulsion and everything shuts down, you don’t want to wind up like the owner of the large yacht grounded at Delray Beach last year. Trouble usually comes in pairs: his ground tackle didn't work either. Follow this plan to avoid disaster.
SUPERYACHTS IN THE MOVIES. The classic motoryacht Haida 1929 plays a starring role in Meryl Streep’s rendition of Money, Money, Money in the hit musical film Mamma Mia! The steel-hulled beauty is 233’3” (71.1 m) long, accommodates 13 guests and 18 crew and has a range exceeding 6,000 NM at 10 knots.
