    Catamarans.

    The Clipper 60 Pilothouse, beautiful line following a DeFever look. Accomodations a bit small internally for a 60 foot, however the bridge, galley and saloon are excellent. Seems like a good quality, great value 60 foot pilot.

    Fairline: Following a "Wally" look?

    Palm Beach Boats.....
    They serve no other purpose than getting there in STYLE!!!!!!
    Truly a boat to buy when you have that " GO TO BLOODY HELL!!! MONEY!":)
    My photos do not do justice to these wonderful boats. Their scale and balance must be seen to appreciate.

    Maritimo

    Maritimo have a big display. Established by Bill Barry-Cotter (Riviera) they a re good quality, BUT, nothing new in design or looks. In fact, place Riviera, Maritimo, Princess etc all in a line and it is same...same...same...
    HOWEVER, if you are lucky enough to own one, well then you are better off in quality of life than 99.99999% of the rest of the poor b@$^&*(ds treading the Earth. So who am I to judge?

    Thank you very much!
    I actually think that Riviera does try to mix a nice balance between Euro and US style a bit more to the others. There Sport Yacht series which I love is testimony to this, as is the new 43 they launched you picture above. Still many will tell you that the Maritimo is a better built boat, though I cannot confirm this as I actually never tried one myself. I did ride but on a few Rivieras and I pretty liked them, though they are not what you call a pre battle wagon.

    Liam,
    The Riviera, Maritimo etc are a good turn key boat (good bang for your buck). I use to go to school and sail with engineers that worked at Riv and at the engineering company that did there construction work. To Riv's credit they took a lot of weight out of the boats, and fix vibration issues.... But I can also walk through the boat with you and tell you how much things costs :eek: .

    My buck would stop in the US/NZ, just aslong as I can supply the fitout :D

    Beautiful? Beautiful? Try "drop dead gorgeous"!! JMPO

    That red Horizon "expedition-style" yacht's not too shabby either. Isn't that the same boat as is marketed in Europe by Drettman as their "Bandido" line? It sure looks the same.
