A close-up, side-profile shot of a woman cleaning the white vinyl upholstery of a boat seat. She is wearing a teal t-shirt featuring a ship's wheel logo with the word "NAUTICAL" printed beneath it, as well as dangling silver hoop earrings. With a focused expression, she uses a yellow microfiber cloth in one hand and a small white cleaning pad or cotton ball in the other to wipe down the armrest of a white captain's chair. The background shows the bright, sunlit interior structures and windshield frames of the boat.

Secrets to a Clean Boat

Margarita Xistris has spent over 30 years making yachts sparkle. Here’s some of what she’s learned along the way.

A vintage, low-angle historical photograph of a military Patrol Boat River (PBR) cruising through choppy river water. The dark, camouflage-painted combat vessel features a rounded black hull with a red bottom, kicking up a white water spray from its hull. Soldiers wearing military helmets and gear are visible on board, with a crewman stationed at the helm beneath a black canvas canopy structure equipped with antennas and a radar unit. An American flag flies prominently from the stern, and a machine gun mount is positioned at the back of the vessel under an overcast sky.

Still in Service

A boat once used to train soldiers for combat in Vietnam is ready for her next—and arguably more important—mission.

He focuses intently while holding a compact white optical housing unit equipped with dual lenses and a central camera sensor. A bright, illuminated desktop ring magnifying lamp sits on an adjustable arm in the center. In the background, hand tools hang neatly on a wooden pegboard wall beneath a bright LED under-cabinet light bar, with wire spools coiled overhead.

The AI’s Have It

An extra pair of eyes is always handy, especially when they don’t blink.

A profile shot of a classic dark blue and white Downeast-style yacht floating on calm, glass-like blue water under a clear sky. The vessel features an enclosed pilothouse with tinted glass windows, traditional teak wood accents along the deck line, a radar mast on the hardtop roof, and an American flag flying at the stern. A distant sailboat is subtly visible anchored on the horizon to the right.

Finding “The One”

After years of separate boat ownership, matrimony brought this couple to the proverbial One.

Quality Time

There’s nothing like a little father-son time on the water to reconnect.
