Boat-show attendees often stop our staff on the docks and ask, “What’s the best boat to get?” And the answer we give is always the same: It’s the one that gets you on the water.
That said, there are six boatbuilders that have brand-new designs, and they are ready to help clients find the boat that gets them on the water next.
Your passion might be long-range summer cruising with the family to exotic ports of call. It might be ripping off to the local sandbar at light speed for a day trip on a Sunday afternoon. Either way, there’s a boat for the mission at hand.
And when it comes to features such as foldout decks, beach clubs, glass-walled spas, inboards, outboards, custom furnishings and foredeck lounges, they’re all available and a whole lot more.
The Pardo Endurance 72 has a warped hull form that’s designed to work with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. There are two engine options: IPS1050 or IPS1350 diesels. With the l350s, the builder reports a maximum cruising range of 900 nautical miles at 12 knots, making the Endurance 72 a fit for those who have a desire to visit far-flung waypoints. Belowdecks, there are four staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s space aft and a VIP amidships with an athwartships berth. Two twin-berth guest staterooms are forward. The yacht’s modern interior has satin-finish gray walnut, which is found in the soles, ceiling panels and more.
The Grand Banks 62’s sweeping sheerline creates an ageless profile, while beneath the yacht’s stately visage is a thoroughly modern motoryacht. Powered with 900 hp straight-shaft Volvo Penta D13 diesels, the 62-footer has 30-knot speed with a 27-knot fast-cruise speed. The yacht—running on the Malaysian builder’s V-Warp hull design—has a reported 2,000-nautical-mile range at 10 knots. Other engine options include 1,000 hp D13s and IPS1200s. The yacht is constructed with resin-infused E-glass as well as carbon fiber in the superstructure, decks and bulkheads. The Grand Banks 62 also comes in a sky-lounge version.
Diamond Binta’s owner is a previous Tankoa client, having built the 164-foot Binta d’Or, but it was time to go bigger and create a yacht with longer range. Enter this 190-footer. Tankoa partnered with Francesco Paszkowski Design to create the yacht, with Margherita Casprini on the interiors. Notable design elements include a beach club with a glass-walled “treatment room” that allows light into the space when the yacht’s side decks are lowered and the transom is open, as well as a guest companionway belowdecks with panoramic views. This corridor also passes an open engine room for a view of the yacht’s various systems.
There’s a certain sophistication in symmetry when looking at the lines of the Marlow 65 Avalon—the way the sheerline creates a stout yet sinewy appearance. The motoryacht’s superstructure, generous with its glazing, visually lowers the profile to create a runner’s look. Viewing the yacht bow-on, the vessel appears broad-shouldered in a ready stance to take on the sea. This three-stateroom yacht can cruise at 8 knots or shoot along at 25-plus knots when time is of the essence. Inside, the salon has an open floor plan. There is also an atrium lounge aft, creating a climate-controlled indoor-outdoor space for relaxing with friends.
The Hinckley 41 is an entertainment platform from end to end. The cockpit, which can be protected with a SureShade awning, has a C-shaped settee to port and an aft-facing seat to starboard, both with stowage underneath. There is also an L-shaped settee to port with the helm to starboard under the hardtop. The foredeck lounge has a U-shaped settee for even more guests to stretch out. Power options for the Hinckley 41 include triple 350 hp or triple 400 hp Mercury V-10 Verados. With the smaller outboards, the yacht builder reports about a 46-knot top hop. The larger outboards reportedly offer a 52-knot top-end speed.
