Large Center Consoles Dominating the Aqua Scape
Center consoles (CC) has always been a part of the boating fabric in America and many of the homegrown brands stateside have participated in the export of these vessels overseas. As customers pushed the companies for more features and amenities onboard as well as greater range, faster speeds and overall greater capability, this helped lead in the continual growth (in size) of the CC. Customers had a range of builders to choose from however, as one builder launched their largest yacht, the competition was always watching and soon fielded their 'answer' too...
M48 Introduced By Prestige Yachts In Miami
With the passing of the Miami Yacht Show this year Prestige Yachts introduced their M-Line to the American public. As the new line of multihull motor yachts from PRESTIGE, the M48 made a big splash at the show with her striking lines and expansive space onboard thanks to being a catamaran hulled vessel. There are not many 48-foot vessels around that can boast the amount of space found onboard the M48. The M48 made its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival but the public got to see the vessel in American waters at the Miami Yacht Show...

Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence!
As we reflect on the past 20 years, we faced many behind the screen challenges; an ever-changing landscape of operating systems, browsers, spammers, coding and keeping discussions relevant. In between this digital delirium we wrote the kind of in-depth reviews that made print media step-up their game. Yachting magazines became the benefactor of our work as we watched our discussions become the facts in their latest articles. We've worked around-the-clock to build yachting's biggest boat show but we didn't do this alone. Thousands of passionate members took time to share their experience resulting in a resource we've all come to trust...
65 Classic Flybridge By Vicem
YF briefly covered the standard Vicem 65 Classic model in the past but has not yet referenced the 65 Classic Flybridge version. Besides the model having the obvious addition of a flybridge there is a thrust to make the boat more modern overall while still keeping the traditional and classic features Vicem is known for. The 65 Classic Flybridge as you may expect is built via the cold-molded process as the yard has utilized this method for a long time...

However, the Life Proof 35 Full Cabin isn't just a utilitarian boat, it's actually a well finished boat with an emphasis on practicality...
