Fort Lauderdale 2012: Monte Carlo 76

The 53rd Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Looking for a deal on the brokerage market? There will be plenty of attractive superyachts for sale at FLIBS this year, but don’t expect a steal. Contrary to persisting rumors, brokers tell us that, while prices dipped drastically in 2009 (up to 40 percent), they have recovered and have been holding pretty steady ever since.

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 86 – Percheron

The Percheron is a beautiful and muscular horse, bred for its intelligence and willingness to work. The same goes for Cantiere delle Marche’s Darwin series, a range of sturdy explorer-style vessels “bred”—or rather, developed—for their long-range and seakeeping abilities.

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Rendova XT 11

With yachts carrying so many toys aboard these days, a compact but powerful and reliable tender is a must. If you’re looking for something matching this description, you might want to consider Rendova’s line of boats.

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Chris-Craft Catalina 29 Sun Tender

Low-profiled and sleek, the Catalina 29 Sun Tender is a speedy center console from Florida-based Chris-Craft. With U-shaped bench seats both in the bow and stern plus two seats forward and aft of the center console, this compact tender is more than capable of ferrying a group of friends and family.

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Williams Dieseljet 565

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Riva Iseo 27

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Hinckley T34

Since 1928 Hinckley’s day cruisers and picnic boats have attracted attention, but the company’s new T34 may bring in new fan base. The company listened to its clients and responded to their desires with a simple design that focused on great looks, ease of use and versatility.

Fort Lauderdale 2012: Deep Impact 330LS

A new addition to Deep Impact’s line of tenders and powerboats, the first 330LS will be finished just in time to make her Fort Lauderdale debut. For this line, LS stands for Luxury Seating, and when you look at the plans you can see why.
