    Depends on which quality one is looking at. I don't know of any that doesn't have issues.

    Of the major brands I like what Uniesse does the most, followed by Posillipo, and San Lorenzo.

    I've had a posillipo for about 11 years, designed by Gianni Zuccon no less before his designs got too wacky for my tastes. I have never understood why Posillipo never had a stronger market presence in the U.S., I think they're fantastic boats.

    Hatteras, Lazarra, a few others.......I can say one thing, the Azimuts have been the most labor intensive and costly for me to maintain (I own a yacht management business) for the owners size for size compared to anything else. I have managed 100's and 100's of yachts. Although I have never had any major issues with any of the Azimuts I managed, just lots of little stuff......

    If you are searching for a European boat, I would suggest the following British boat builders:
    - Fairline
    - Sunseeker
    - Princess

    I have been a Fairline owner for over 6 years and I am extremely pleased with the build quality, performance and aftersales support provided by the factory.

    Of these I'd recommend Sunseeker as the best of the 3. Fairline would be right behind Sunseeker (access to things and servicing are easier and more thought out on the Sunseekers). AND, Princess would be a very distant third as the quality on the last one I ran 2014, was just not anywhere near the other two, but still acceptable.

    So I watch the docking of Marina Wonder and I wonder, what is up with that exhaust? It seems like a lot of surge, is it underwater?
