Hello Boater

NEW Solara S-250 C

Overnighter on 25 Feet

SOLARA S-250 C

ALL-WEATHER SMALL BOAT Built by the same studio behind Ranger Tugs, the S-250 C leans on practical systems and cold-weather thinking. An enclosed pilothouse keeps the helm usable year-round, while lithium power and solar reduce reliance on shore power or a generator. The open transom and fold-away seating keep the cockpit adaptable.

The 50-Foot Sweet Spot 

Nimbus 495 FLY

JOYSTICK DOCKING Nimbus builds around practical Scandinavian cruising, and the 495 Flybridge carries that approach into a near-50-footer sized for owner-operators. Her 14'9" beam supports a wide salon and flexible three-cabin layout, while twin Volvo Penta IPS650s with assisted docking help keep close-quarters handling manageable.
