The Krogen 60 Open from Kadey Krogen Yachts is a massive 60 footer that combines  true ocean crossing capabilities with the live-aboard comforts couples and families need for long range adventuring. The Open concept was first employed in the 50 Open a few years ago. The ”open” in the name refers to the lack of a fixed, full-height bulkhead at the aft end of the pilot house so the salon, galley and pilot house flow together and a create one huge social living area. There is still a dinette aft and the dinette and bench settee in the pilot house,…

We’ve long been fans of the Wasque 26, a John Alden design from the 1950s that has classic downeast styling. With a sweetly curved sheer line and a bit of tumble home aft, the design harkens back to lobster boats of yore.

Here’s a boat or water toy that looks like a lot of fun, an electric foiling canoe.

It takes just a couple of minutes to get the hang of…

The British boat builder Rustler Yachts has been creating finely finished and classic-looking sailing boats for five decades and is one of the U.K.’s most respected yacht companies. So, it is with some anticipation that we waited for their first-ever motorboat to hit the water and show us what it can do.  The wait was worth it. The new Rustler 41, like its sailing sisters, has a subdued and elegant look deeply rooted in the finest yachting traditions. Nothing trendy here. The stepped hull, designed by Tony Castro, has very full sections forward for buoyancy and interior volume. The sheer…

In an era when most boatbuilders disdain customizing their products,  Hunt Yachts invites clients to bring it on. “By the time you get to considering a boat of 56 feet or more,  (Hunt’s model range is 56 to 76’) you likely have enough experience to know what it is you want, and you certainly have an idea of how you’ll use the boat.  We want to accommodate that completely, and that drives us to offer a custom-building experience.  We will alter the layout, engineer different systems, add the amenities that make life aboard comfortable,” says Peter Truslow, Hunt’s Managing Director.…
