Powerboating Boating reviews

Who says dreams don’t come true! Dreams of luxury, elegant design and all the amenities you can imagine – and even choose for yourself – can and do come true in the BAVARIA S45. This is a motor yacht for people who appreciate outstanding performance as well as an upscale, unique lifestyle, with an exterior and interior that will delight you anew every day.

Versatile and variable, the BAVARIA S36 comes in three versions – OPEN, HARDTOP (HT) and COUPE. One thing all three share is that they are wide open to fun and relaxation. Just one example is the newly developed multifunctional seating area on the stern, which can easily be converted into a sun deck – to be enjoyed any time of day.

With the all-new A36 you’ll come to understand the degree to which your new Cobalt sets you apart from any semblance of the crowd. As, soon enough, the exuberance of your first family cruise becomes the remembered moments of a lifetime on the water.

Begin with Cobalt’s legendary extended running surface and its consequent quicker planing, firm and true turns, and minimized bow rise. At high speeds feel the A36’s exceptional stability, it’s effortless corning on rails. Give your guests the softest of rides in the roughest of seas and then, on a quiet entry back to the harbour, watch the longing looks coming your way.

Special to the A-Series is the hydraulic swim platform which lowers well below the water’s surface. A perfect home base for water-borne activity, or functioning as a full-beam step for those eager kiddos jumping aboard.

From the cockpit to cabin to bow lounges, the A36 interior bespeaks an envelopment of luxury. Buttery smooth vinyls, rich textures, stainless steel accents all marry together to create this one of a kind model.

Live the life.

Since the day it was introduced, Chaparral best-selling 330 Signature has set the benchmark in Sport Cruiser design. The look is bold, innovative and distinctly Chaparral.

The new Merry Fisher 1095 takes full advantage of the new world of outboard engines. Previously, cruising with outboard engines on boats of over 10 metres (34 ft.) seemed impossible, until now. This new combination favours ease of use while guaranteeing exceptional performance for a very promising future. The Merry Fisher 1095 will be the flagship of the line, with a hull specifically designed for this type of propulsion.

In addition to this major innovation, the Merry Fisher 1095 delivers key features that define its personality and its success.

As the flagship of the latest generation of sport cruisers by Beneteau, the Gran Turismo 50 stands apart. Her elegant profile, full-space main deck, and onboard technology will win over connoisseurs of beautiful objects and thrill-seekers alike.

A good example of how to build a boat with both good performance and seakeeping, without exceeding with the power of the engines. The interiors layout has taken advantage of every centimeter available.

Limited power, but good performance nevertheless. Savings on fuel usage, maintenance costs and purchase price, without giving up the pleasure of sailing your own boat. How is that possible?

Put simply, one could answer that all it takes is being good at making boats. But obviously, that’s a non-answer, a flippant reply trying to summarise so many – too many – things. And so what could be better than a good example? So here is the Cranchi M44 HT, 14 meters long, 11 tonnes unladen displacement, two bathrooms, two cabins which sleep five, but in the engine room, there are “only” two Volvo Penta D6s which develop 330 hp each.

The new Leader 33 benefits from a contemporary, sporty look that is the signature of the Leader line. This model is offered in two versions: an Open version with an arch, or a Sport Top version with an electrically opening hard top.

The Afina 3950 is the ultimate expression of Floe challenge to the status quo. Instead of simply following a checklist, Floe decided to completely reimagine what a boat should be.

With her high quality fit and finish, the Leader 30 features an elegant interior, with bulkheads in (optional) Straight-Grain Walnut, (optional) lacquer finish on furniture, a large starboard-side hanging locker, and copious storage (optional wall cabinets). Last but not least, the saloon transforms into a double berth.

Every BAVARIA S32 is built entirely in Germany. She was designed for the high seas, the ocean.

Agile and safe to drive, and great for relaxing on board afterwards. In this respect, too, the BAVARIA S32 offers all the amenities with all your modern conveniences.

Above and below deck she is furthermore extremely comfortable – everything you would expect of a BAVARIA. The S33 comes in a OPEN and HARDTOP (HT) version.

Very few shipyards have been around for three centuries. Probably none possess technology this advanced.

Cranchi started out as a small yard, but before long Cranchi were taking on bold, ambitious industrial projects, earning a reputation for excellence in Europe and around the world.

It all began in Piantedo, near Sondrio, at premises that Cranchi has maintained and added to with another hightech yard in nearby Rogolo and the "Italo Monzino"Marine Test Centre on the Adriatic, near Udine.

Cranchi also has 104 berths and two covered boatyards for shore-based storage at Darsena Bellagio, where Cranchi carry out pre-delivery inspection and sea trials.

Maybe you’re wondering how Cranchi has managed to come so far? The answer is passion, pure and simple – the only force that can move mountains and conquer oceans.

Back in 2014, Sirena Marine set out to produce a line of five different size motor yachts ranging in size from 56 foot to 120 foot. These models promised ample distribution of open spaces suitable for endless enjoyment to go with a generous fly bridge, and large fore and aft sitting areas. And, they are customizable too. For the 64, the first model of the line to be launched, there are three optional interior layouts of generous volume for serious world cruising in great comfort with the family, including large glass windows for a good view of the sea and plenty of natural light. The hull design was precariously developed, including and included the testing of three models at the Wolfson Unit towing tank facility in Southampton. In addition, sea keeping tests were conducted on a self-propelled 1/3 scale model of the hull.

The result; in the end, it is a pleasant vessel that is capable of cruising at high speed or sailing along with the breeze in low fuel consumption mode. The hull stability is well matched to the needs of the gyroscopic stabilizers to insure that both cruising and anchoring offer great comfort.
