Outer Reef 63
Adapting to a marketplace that is becoming ever more sensitive to fuel economy, efficiency, and carbon footprint, Outer Reef Yachts is now offering smaller engine options throughout its model lineup, from 65 to 85 feet. It has also introduced a 58-footer, optimized for these engine packages. Add an optional five-foot cockpit, and voila, you have the Outer Reef 63.

Cheoy Lee Serenity Series 68
Even in this era of globalization, few projects can rival the Serenity Series for geographic diversity. Cheoy Lee Shipyards will build the 68, the first model in the series, at its yard in Doumen, China. Her design comes via an Australian firm, David Bentley Industrial Design, while her high-tech composites were spec’d by the structural gurus at High Modulus in New Zealand. Rounding out the team,

Rebel, a sistership to Canyon Runner. After the crew sea trialed her in eight-footers, running her at 30 knots, it was convinced this hull would be the right offshore platform.For years my crew and I researched making the move into a custom North Carolina sportfisherman—research that was a lot more hands-on than most.

Hatteras 56 Motor Yacht
The fact that the Hatteras 56 is touted by the builder as an “entry-level product…priced at under $2 million” seems rather startling. But that shouldn’t suggest she’s wanting for features, quality, or performance. What’s more, she offers a variety of innovative options that let each owner feel like the yacht is tailor-made.Hatteras 56

Shannon Tender 32
Recognizing that many megayacht owners may wish to have a tender as distinctive as their motoryacht, Shannon Yachts has introduced the Shannon Tender 32. Considering her classical styling with jaunty Downeast flare, it’s easy to see why designer Walter Schulz calls her a limo launch. From her S-shape stem to her rakish transom, the 32 exudes a sophisticated bearing, underscored by a sporty

Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost’s Noah Gallery
The problem with catamarans is that they all look like, uh, catamarans. But French design firm Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost puts a twist on the concept, creating a stylish look while retaining the attributes that make twin hulls so attractive.Van Peteghem Lauriot Prèvost’s NoahIn profile, Noah’s strong stem

ISA 600
Even if you didn’t know that the new ISA 600 is an Italian design, you likely would have guessed it. Nearly 200 feet in length and with five decks from her keel to her flying bridge, she looks as sleek as a Formula One race car. A towering bow and deep forward bulwarks virtually disappear as they blend into the deckhouse in way of her upper deck, while elongated side windows and a modest knuckle

Viking 82 Convertible
Sometimes bigger is better. A case in point is Viking Yachts’ 82 Convertible, eight feet longer and about two feet beamier than the builder’s current flagship 74 Convertible. Don’t get me wrong, the 74 is no slouch. But I never warmed to her lower-deck layout, with its meandering passageway along the

Krogen 55 Expedition Trawler Yacht
Updated styling and a gracefully raked bow are two of the more evident features of the Krogen 55-foot Expedition, but they’re just icing on the cake. Leveraging 30 years’ experience in building bluewater passagemakers, Kadey-Krogen has raised the bar, offering a purebred expedition-style trawler of superior accommodation that boasts a cruising range of more than 3,000 NM.

Monte Fino 76 Custom Motoryacht
Most builders update styling periodically to keep models looking fresh. But the revitalized Monte Fino has taken the makeover to a new level. The handsome but somewhat staid look that defined the brand over the past decade has been transformed, creating a svelte charmer that would be the envy of any Italian design studio. Partnering with Humphreys Yacht Design, Monte Fino intends to redesign

Outer Reef Reefrunner 70
Known for traditional pilothouse motoryachts, Ocean Reef Yachts has gone sleek and sexy with the Reefrunner 70, a Downeast-style cruiser expected to have a top speed around 40 knots and a cruise speed of about 35 knots. Seeking to appeal to a broad range of customers, the Reefrunner is offered in either a four-stateroom, galley-up or a three-stateroom, galley-down arrangement and an express or

Trinity Yachts’ Mine Games
One of the major challenges in yacht design is creating a look that is distinctive but not outlandish. With its 164-foot trideck Mine Games, Trinity Yachts seems to have hit just the right balance. Her deckhouse side windows are nestled into two elongated ovals that diminish the visual mass of her
