Worthy of the Catwalk I’ve been aboard every new Sunseeker since the early 1990s, watching the builder’s growth from up close. An indication of just how far Sunseeker has advanced came with the first showing of the Predator 57 ­earlier this year. It was in London, where the ­presiding launch-party celebrity was Nicole Scherzinger, ex-front […]

At first glance you might wonder about the windows on Kaytoo, a 100 Bahamas Skymaster from Paragon Motor Yachts. The choice of vertical rather than sweptback windows had me thinking they were selected to reflect contemporary design trends. I was partially right, but there are more practical reasons for them.

Italy’s Adriatic coast, particularly near Fano, is an idyllic place for a sea trial. Not only do the region’s white-sand beaches and rolling hills provide a sublime backdrop, but the shallow depths along that stretch of the Adriatic can create a sizable chop to really test a boat. Running Dominator’s 800S there recently provided an […]

This vessel marks a distinct change in styling. Partly, it’s because the company is striking out under its own name (see sidebar), but it is also about keeping […]

This is the first MCY over 100′ and she follows the exterior styling and aerospace construction methods pioneered in the company’s four earlier models which range from 65′ to 86′. Again, Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard were the […]

In the normal scenario, boat builders develop and incorporate new designs into a targeted model, then apply similar improvements to other boat sizes afterward to complete a specific line. With the introduction of the FX25, its hybrid bay boat, Sea Born followed this plan to perfection last year. The Georgia builder is now continuing the […]

Bay boats are evolving. Once used primarily with a trolling motor to fish shallower depths and cross open ­waterways, the latest generation is clearly multipurpose. From nearshore patch reefs, rigs and wrecks to working weed lines or drifting for swordfish in the Gulf Stream, anglers and builders alike are breaking the style’s traditional mold. Sea […]
