THREE LEVELS With the helm moved entirely to the enclosed flybridge, the Riviera 58 SMY gives her main deck over to the salon, galley, and an open-air mezzanine. Upstairs, the lounge converts into an extra berth, while a glass panel opens the enclosed bridge directly onto a second outdoor seating area.

CAT SPACE The TH33 combines a wide, open deck with an optional cabin below, giving owners the choice of staying out after the day's run. A stand-up head, central galley, and broad swim platform between the outboards make good use of the catamaran layout.

FOUR 450s Located in Anna Maria, Florida, this 2022 Barker Boatworks 40 High Performance Cat carries quad Mercury Racing 450s, 770 gallons of fuel, dual-row helm seating, and twin 55-gallon livewells. The asymmetrical cat hull is built for long offshore runs and serious fishing.

THINK AHEAD Falling overboard is the top cause of death among singlehanded sailors, and getting back aboard is harder than it sounds even with a swim platform. One skipper solved it with a plastic ladder held above the waterline by ordinary clothes pegs, released with a sharp tug from the water.
