Drawing Board: Revel Yachts American engineering, craftsmanship…and courage. 

“That secret sauce, St. Germain says, will come in its unique layout that you see and the technology that you don’t. That layout looks to be a blend of BlueGame, Sunseeker Hawk and the now-defunct Ocean Alexander Divergence line. The Revel 44 sports robust-looking fold-down gunwales to port and starboard that should make for easy entertaining. Down below, this dayboat boasts weekender capabilities, with a cabin amidships and a convertible V-berth forward. What you don’t see is the digital switching, which will be provided by Starlink, and a planned app that will allow owners to control and monitor various systems such as the lighting, refrigeration and security cameras.”
