The initial shipment of Shaefers are due to arrive at Gibbs Quay’s Poole-based site later this month. First to arrive will be a Schaefer V33 dayboat/weekender propelled by twin 300hp Mercury Verado outboards. It will be followed by two ...
The images reveal a sleek hard top sportscruiser that shares a number of design features with both the smaller F//Line 33 and the all-new Fairline Phantom 65 as well as a few tricks of its own, including a drop-down terrace. As expected, the new Fairline Targa 40 is a bigger boat than the old Targa 38 in all areas. Its sheerline is around 200mm taller, freeing up headro...
Launched across Scandinavia in 2019, IRON Boats has brought to market what it calls “a unique concept in hybrid RIB sportsboat design”. In place of an inflatable collar sitting astride the gunwales, it uses a low-profile D-shaped fender with a sequence of air channels. It’s positioned relatively low down, around the periphery of the boat, enabling it to drop the centre...
The 180 GT yacht for sale was delivered in June 2020 from Italy as the second Sanlorenzo project for her experienced owner, and was built under supervision of Camper & Nicholsons, alongside the captain and an independent surveyor. The Great Escape yacht has only been lightly used by her owner, with approximately 600 hours on her main engines. The motor yacht for sale fe...

With an exterior design by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Achille Salvagni Architetti, the Grande 36M has a number of stand-out features including a semi-walkaround upper deck that runs on the same level from the stern to the bow. The yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests across five staterooms, with a unique layout that creates a barrier-free space that aims to offer...
Overview Before tinkering with the successful Axis T220, Malibu’s design team listened to owners and users, and upgraded this midsize wake-sports boat while keeping it comparatively affordable. The traditional bow slices wakes, but broadens quickly to enlarge the forward lounge. The high sides make this area kid-friendly and reassuring to parents. Interior and Acc...
Overview I like the way the DB/43 looks. It’s got a touch of bodybuilder about it—toned but pumped, with a high freeboard, substantial windshield and hardtop, plumb bow and chopped-off transom. That profile conceals important surprises. The aft bulwarks fold down, creating two cockpit-extending platforms that virtually double the deck space at the transom. Those, combi...
Overview Serious anglers have been fishing Blackfin for 50 years. But in the past five, the hard-edged fishing brand has wrapped itself in luxury accommodations, a performance ride, and a lustrous fit-and-finish like you might find on a hand-built sports car. Why shouldn’t you? The Blackfin 302DC is certainly hand-built and exhibits all the accoutrements that come from t...
Overview Sea Ray’s SLX 260 debuts with a considerable buzz. The first sportboat to reflect the new design language Sea Ray introduced on the Sundancer 370 Outboard, it shares the latter’s S-shaped sheerline, prominent center crease (with pill-shaped logo) and aggressive forward jaw line. It’s the first Sea Ray model ever to be created by an all-female-led design team. It...

The kit comes with two sturdy scrub brushes. For large deck areas, Crystal Deck Cleaner is ideal. Tip Top Teak Deck Brightener deep-cleans the teak, preparing it for Tip Top Teak Wood-Oil...
Light displacement greatly reduces the amount of power needed to drive a vessel – an important factor in an electric yacht. This is one of the reasons Mike Eaton, who has a decades-long background in building performance yachts, turned to renowned raceboat designer Shaun Carkeek to create his ultimate long term cruising yacht, the Seaquest 46SQ. The result is this light...
Although relatively heavy designs that maximise space and comfort still dominate the market, demand for lightweight and fast cruising catamarans appears to be increasing dramatically, with this South African yard reporting unprecedented demand as they launched the Balance 442. In terms of both concept and layout the Balance 442 is in many ways a scaled down version of t...

While the Zhik Motion top does a great job of wicking moisture away from your body and cutting wind chill, the real draw is how it combats the sun’s rays, especially around ...
Holmes Thurmond founded Skeeter Boats, now a division of Yamaha, when he developed the first-ever boat designed for bass fishing, the Kilgore, Texas-based company said in a statement.

The new 6-cylinder engine gives the 6F21 a best-in-class power density in a very compact and light original marine design, Baudouin officials said. This level of performance was achieved through continuous technological evolution. The 6F21 includes a strengthened engine structure to withstand high torque and a higher cylinder pressure well over 200 bar. A two-stage turb...
One of the most recent entrants into sailing sunglasses world is a brand called SunGod, which sources and manufactures its products from 100-percent recycled material. And while we’re all about protecting the environment, what we probably won’t admit is equally important to us is how well they help us see puffs on the water. We checked out the Renegade model, with 8KO P...
DNV has granted approval in principle (AiP) to a fuel cell concept, jointly developed by Ballard Power Systems and ABB, that can produce three megawatts, or 4,000 HP, of electrical power. Claimed to be a ‘flexible’ solution, this high-power fuel cell unit is expected to meet the energy needs of multi-megawatt scale ships with diverse uses. In a statement, ABB said: “Fo...
But while it feels like a departure for Wally in some ways, the Wallypower 58 retains some very distinct design cues from the Wallytender, the Wallypower 52 and the iconic Wallypower 118. That all-consuming dedication to purity of form certainly has quite a dramatic impact on the way the boat operates. The tapered bow and open aft deck, for instance, are completely unen...
True, it retained all the finesse and glamour you would expect of an Italian builder with proven superyacht credentials. But in essence, what we witnessed on that Miami boat show stand was a fast, outboard-powered sportscruiser with the performance and practicality of a centre console fast fisher. Conceived as “the perfect weekender”, it sold out just hours after its la...

Regardless of the size or type of boat, power or number of engines, one thing that every boater understands is docking is made more complex by the delay between engaging the throttle and the moment the boat begins to move. This is one of the biggest differences between driving cars and driving boats, so much so that beginner, and even some advanced, boating safety course...
