Power & Motoryacht On Location at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Vesper Marine explores innovative ways to use AIS and employ the powerful warning and messaging capabilities embedded in the system. The company just launched a project to mark a no-anchor zone over some seabed power cables and we saw it in action.



Talking about windows on boats, there’s a lot to consider. Will the new ones hold up and be easy to maintain? Know the ins and outs of what’s available, and see why the crew on one project chose replacement windows from Vetus. Check out the whole project here.


Get a closer look at the engine room on the Jeanneau Leader 36, and see why this express cruiser uses the allotted mechanical space effectively. Step beneath the hatch with us here.

The Simrad GO5XSE is a small but powerful chartplotter and fishfinder that supports proprietary CHIRP sounder systems, such as ForwardScan forward-looking sonar and StructureScan HD photo-like imaging, in a compact 5-inch-display package.

The McMurdo SmartFind M5 AIS Class A is a transponder that provides name and navigation data from other vessels and can be integrated with a variety of chartplotters and networked systems, including a PC system using the PC AIS viewer included with the unit.

Airmar recently introduced a line of ultra-wide-beam transducers for sportfishing applications using CHIRP technology.

Garmin released new versions of its proprietary BlueChart cartography earlier this year, and improved the accuracy of its underwater structural details, including 1-foot HD fishing contours.

Marine electronics companies have taken a cue from the best consumer-electronics makers and are making the software do the heavy lifting when it comes to upgraded features.


We attended the debut of the new 80-footer from Monte Carlo Yachts in Monfalcone, Italy.

SonarChart Live is a Navionics feature add-on to a recent update of Raymarine’s Lighthouse II operating system that allows users to create bathymetric charts in real time.
