The new Regulator 23 was unveiled at the boat show on Thursday to many interested perspective buyers and members of the press. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, this is the first time in the company’s history that they have released two new models in the same model year (the company introduced the popular Regulator 25 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last fall).

Chris Craft debuted their new 36 Launch at the show yesterday. The boat features an interesting galley-up layout, not often seen on open dayboats of this size. It also allows for a great deal of space down below, where there is a large berth in the forepeak, a head to starboard and a shower to port, and two more berths amidships beneath the cockpit sole

The captain and engineer in engine room of the Mangusta 110…they are explaining a fire-suppression system that uses atomization to put out a fire. Better than dry chemical, halon, or CO2.
Taking the longview inside the beautiful Ferretti 960

“FLIR showed me a new add-on to an iPhone 5 that provides the company’s incredible thermal-imaging through a cell-phone app. It uses a two-camera system to make the thermal image a bit more usable: For example you can read text on it, which thermal imagery usually wouldn’t allow, so you could see the name on the transom of a boat through darkness or fog. Or get a photo of someone’s nametag up close.” — Editor-in-Chief Jason Wood
The view through the new Outer Reef 70’s master into her engine room. That’s the crew’s quarters all the way down there. Almost like the ER on this boat is crisp enough and clean enough to qualify as a stateroom.
Power & Motoryacht publisher Arnie Hammerman is comfortable in an engine room, but this is ridiculous! Here he is, stretched out onboard the Riviera 50 Enclosed Bridge, where there’s plenty of room forward of the twin Volvo-Penta diesels linked to IPS pods.
