BUYING VALUE NOT BLING In case you haven't noticed, a number of dayboat brands these days have become quite pricey. That's one reason why we think the Riviera 4300 Sports Express is such a bargain. A coupe design and large aft deck give her all the utility of a luxurious, open dayboat, but her accommodations, interior volume, and structural bones make her a true motoryacht in a small package. Check out her price.

IN-USE REPORT Off Key Largo, six aboard put the 43 SAV to work with multiple mahi hooked at once, and the cockpit stayed usable. Dual livewells, central rod access, and quick-reset bait prep kept lines in the water, while triple 450-hp Yamahas gave her the range to hunt and the speed to get home. When the rods come in, the same layout shifts toward seating and overnight use.

200 HOURS, 2,000 HP At 60 feet, this Tiara EX with freshwater use and low hours, located in Sister Bay, WI, leans into owner-operator use with joystick docking and Volvo Glass Cockpit controls. Twin IPS 1350s and Seakeeper stabilization support the run, while the aft cockpit and opening hull sides shift the focus to time at anchor.  

BOOK A DAY, NOT A MEMBERSHIP SBF takes a different approach to "shared access" by focusing on day-based usage instead of fixed commitments. No annual dues, and no monthly payments. Choose how often to get on the water and pay accordingly for premium boats in 3 Florida locations including Bradenton, St. Pete, and Palm Beach.

SPOTS WHAT YOU MISS The LOOKOUT AI camera system detects hazards a person might miss: other vessels, buoys, debris, whales, and people in the water. It pulls from charts, AIS, radar, and online sources into a 3D augmented reality view.
