Princess 75
OUR TAKE: The glass is a bit more than half full on the new Princess 75, a yacht that makes the view a priority. But when you combine that with a handsome profile, a big flying bridge, and power options that can get into the mid-30-knot range, you may be looking at your next step.
Beneteau Gran Turismo 46
OUR TAKE: When a boatbuilder puts in the work to reinvent a new line, it’s impressive. When it rolls out refreshed models to augment the line within five years, that’s when you know the company is serious about upping its game. The Gran Turismo 46 shows Beneteau is a deserving contender.
Westport 125
OUR TAKE: Westport calls its freshly minted 125 “the new flagship of line,” and it’s no wonder, since heavy investments in naval architecture and engineering are apparent. The on-deck master forward is complemented by four guest staterooms in this raised pilothouse design.
Outer Reef Trident 620
OUR TAKE: Not too many cruising boats with the long-range chops of the Ward Setzer-designed Trident 620 can carve turns at 18 knots. It’s a reassuring feeling, to have that speed at your fingertips, and one that can change the whole game. See for yourself.
Sunseeker Manhattan 52
OUR TAKE: Sunseeker is a boatbuilder that understands the elegance of being at sea the right way, and it doesn’t matter what size boat you’re on. The Manhattan 52 shows that the company’s designers understand that any boat can evoke that very special state of mind.
Delta 88
OUR TAKE: Swedish builder Delta Powerboats began with the concept of lots of carbon fiber and clean Scandinavian design, which some find striking in its geometry. Now the largest of the company’s fleet, the 88, will be coming to our shores for her U.S. debut.
Ferretti 850
OUR TAKE: Ferretti Yachts has been on a run of late, filling gaps in its range of cruisers with new models that build on its recent successes. The 850 has a four-stateroom layout and draws on a design palette that we expect will continue to impress as it evolves.
