Hello Boater

NEW Axopar 38 Cross Cabin

All-Weather Finnish Engineering

Axopar-38-XC-Cross-Cabin_E29A4579-Edit-2-2__ScaleWidthWzgwMF0

GULLWING ACCESS The Axopar 38 Cross Cabin comes from the Finnish builder that coined the much-copied phrase "adventure boating," and this new model carries on that concept. She pairs an enclosed cabin with broad visibility, modular deck spaces, and the kind of access and storage that make longer days aboard feel easier rather than busier.

Greenline 58 Fly Hybrid 

Range That Changes Plans 

Greenline 58 FLY Hybrid

SLOW DOWN, GO FARTHER Greenline has been pushing hybrid propulsion for years, and the 58 Fly shows what that looks like in a serious cruising boat. She trades 30-knot bragging rights for a quieter, longer-legged approach, with up to 3.6 kW of solar-generated power, three ensuite staterooms, and a theoretical range that can stretch far beyond what most 58-footers can do on a like amount of fuel.

Sharrow Lands Navy Deal

Loop Prop Meets Torpedoes

Sharrow props on torpedo

TORPEDO PROP UPGRADE For decades, torpedoes relied on multi-blade propellers designed during the Cold War. The U.S. Navy is now testing Sharrow’s closed-loop blade concept on the Mk-54 lightweight torpedo to reduce cavitation noise and improve propulsion efficiency. The same technology that quiets boats may soon be guiding underwater weapons.
