BUILT LIKE A CUSTOM The Sirena 78 reflects the Turkish builder’s focus on lower-volume production and in-house craftsmanship. Her plumb bow extends waterline length for added interior volume, while the main deck integrates galley, dining, and salon into a single, open-plan living space. Variable dining configurations, generous natural light in the VIP, and larger U.S.-market heads reflect a design aimed at experienced owners seeking a personalized layout.
CRUISE AT 41.5 Since 1968, Sweden’s Nimbus has built boats around safety, practicality, and restrained Scandinavian design. The W11 carries that forward in a 40'7" walkaround with wide starboard passages and a side boarding platform for water access at anchor. With twin 300-hp Verado V8s she reached 46.1 mph and ran 0–30 in 14.4 seconds, while still offering two cabins below for extended time aboard.
LIFT-KEPT IN FORT LAUDERDALE This 2018 Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider OB pairs Formula’s deep-V hull with triple Mercury Verado 350-hp outboards and joystick piloting. A Seakeeper 3, Kohler 5 kW generator (approx. 92 hours), SureShade aft sunshade, and Garmin electronics round out a strong equipment list. Open bow seating meets a compact cabin below for overnight stays. Mocha hull, new exterior upholstery, and synthetic teak decking complete a well-maintained, second-owner package.
ALL-SEASON CRUISING The Axopar 28 Cabin is virtually the only cabin boat in a club fleet anywhere in Florida. This premium vessel has side doors and a sun roof that opens up for the outdoor feeling, but can be buttoned up for rainy days or when there's a chill in the air. Like all SBF boats she has an electric head that mom and the kids will like. Bradenton/Cortez -- just 10 minutes from the bay or gulf. A premium boat at low rates.
BOUGHT FOR SHARROW When Captain Will Sanchelli set out to launch his own offshore charter operation, one factor stood out: the boat already had Sharrow props. After sea trialing, he says the fuel numbers sealed it. For a guide running long Gulf Stream trips, reduced fuel burn, quieter trolling, less white water, and no cavitation in hard turns translate directly into operating savings.
LET GO THE LINES In 1895, Joshua Slocum became the first sailor to circumnavigate the globe singlehandedly, later capturing it in Sailing Alone Around the World, a book that has shaped generations of sailors. Inspired by that story, Bill Hicks spent 23 years building a 43-foot wooden re-creation of Spray. Today he lives aboard Wildwood II, still balancing her sails by hand and letting her steer herself, just as Slocum once did.
