THE ALL-NEW CLC115 reimagines the tri-deck catamaran with a versatile and light-filled interior that invites both luxury and adventure.

With flexible layouts offering 5 or 6 staterooms, plus the option of a hybrid propulsion system, CLC115 delivers a new kind of sanctuary at sea, bringing refined comfort and conscious design into perfect balance.

NOT JUST FISHING Some boats make owners choose between fishing space or family amenities. Boston Whaler's Dauntless series takes a broader approach with center consoles designed around how many families use their boats: convertible lounges, generous seating, and easy water access, all on Whaler's unsinkable hulls in 22, 25, and 28 feet. (Pssst -- 65% of center consoles are used only for family outings.)

MORE THAN 22 Jasper calls her a 22, but the waterline stretches to 24'6", giving her the footprint of a larger boat. A sharp entry, enclosed wheelhouse, suspension seating, and substantial aluminum construction reflect a boat designed for the conditions that Pacific Northwest (or Atlantic Northeast) operators face every day.

FIVE STATEROOMS This San Diego-based Viking 80 Skybridge was equipped by a four-time Viking owner with an eye toward long-range fishing and life aboard. Five staterooms, extensive custom storage, twin 2,635-hp MTUs, redundant onboard systems, and a comprehensive electronics package support everything from tournament weekends to extended cruising.

BLUE BOOKS Many buyers assume boat values come from a single trusted source. In reality, several pricing guides are used across the industry, and the spread between them can be surprisingly large. Virtually all the books' values have a thumb on the scale for the trade. Classified ads in your area will likely be more accurate. Caveat Emptor.

OCEAN LOUNGE Sunreef's Ultima 88 puts 387 square metres of living space on a 26.8-metre catamaran hull with a 9.3-metre beam. The first unit, Wasabi, went to powerboat racing champion Tim Ciasulli. One layout option gives the full beam to the master suite and adds a private sauna.
