I wondered about the guest to crew ratio. It can hold 10 guests and just four crew. Would that overwork a crew?
I drive by A&J every day and the yard is usually full of yachts. I'm amazed at the size boats they haul given the tight confines of the approach...
Sounds like you did lots of homework, lots of due diligence, glad you found a boat that suits your needs. Something fun to look forward to in...
For years Boston Boatworks made all the MJM boats which are made to a high standard. MJM recently opened their own manufacturing facility -- maybe...
I just read a short review of a new Sirena -- I think it was in either the most recent Passagemaker or Power & Motoryacht but not certain. The...
Thursday looks like low 80's, sunny, nice cooling breeze, perfect show day.
Honda's outboard motor history surprised me. At one point they were a fairly major presence after four-strokes became standard. But since then the...
I've been zinged for admitting I like the Nauti Style You Tube videos but they are more thorough than most people who do yacht You Tube videos....
I'm actually a fan of the Nauti-Styles YouTube channel. They've done YouTube tours of a variety of boats and yachts and they do a pretty good job...

You might find three You Tube videos done by a couple who go under the name Gone With The Wynns of interest. They sailed a catamaran around the...
Thank you Daniel. Both Seven Seas and Norn are significant, interesting new megayachts. Norn looks very much like a big brother (sister?) to Skat.
Some of the UHV's are so fat and homely I think of them as "BLOATS" instead of "BOATS."
Contrary view -- I think it is really innovative and fun. A great platform for buzzing around Biscayne Bay, Newport, Tampa Bay and similar.
It would be quite something to watch one of the new Euro yachts -- big or small -- with a skinny plumb bow try to run that inlet in bad weather....
I see Midnight Lace gliding by our place on the ICW, pretty bow waves curling back, small wakes at 17 knots. They look utterly classy and...
I was interested to read in the accident report that the windshield of Utopia was covered with salt spray from the bow. Narrow plumb bows with...
What would deter me from using a sport fishing boat to cruise is the lack of light belowdecks. Most sport fishing boats more than a few years old...
Aquila boats may be made in China, but they were designed and made for charter use by the Moorings, a large, experienced charter operation. I...
The Aquila may be Chinese mass production but the Aquila 36 is an appealing, relatively inexpensive boat for day use and weekending. Twin...
