Virtual Boat Show: Jimmy Buffett’s Boat

Straight out of the mind of Jimmy Buffett, this 42 Freeman Cat with a custom Merritt-built house is turning a lot of heads — not just parrot heads. Learn how two iconic boat builders came together to build Jimmy Buffett’s fishing boat.

Brabus 500 Shadow

The Finnish builder has only one request: Take their rocket-ship-like cruisers for a spin. Naturally, we relented.

Yacht Design: The American Way

Is there really such a thing as American yacht design? Some of the Western Hemisphere’s top designers plead a convincing case.

Zen Garden Afloat: Benetti’s Ocean Paradise

Benetti’s Ocean Paradise: An owner/designer’s perspective on bringing the magic of Asia to the seven seas By Frances and Michael Howorth THE 180-FOOT (54.8-METER) BENETTI

On the Water and On The Drawing Board

One new design recently launched from McConaghy Boats while Austrian deign firm Motion Code: Blue has released renders of a yacht that would make a stir in every port she pops up in.

Making Waves: Southern Wind

South African builder Southern Wind is hard at work on the third hull of the SW102, a raised-salon version of this sailing-yacht line. This yacht will have a slightly longer hull (it is expected to finish at 104 feet/31.7 meters), in part to make room for a garage capable of holding a 13-foot (4-meter) tender.

The Ferretti 960: Ferretti’s New Day

Ferretti engineers certainly started right by establishing clear design goals for the 960 from the very beginning. The most basic one was to create a yacht small enough to be classed by CE as a pleasure boat, meaning a crew would not be mandated, yet offer features that would allow it to compete with vessels larger than 100 feet.
