Weather forecast: the guide to reading natural phenomena at sea
Weather forecast: a guide to interpreting natural phenomena when we are sailing.As time goes on, it becomes a habit, a sort of conditioned reflex which leads us, even in the city, to look up and find in a cloud or a smell something which is going to change.Maybe nowadays, being provided with all we need to have a weather forecast at home, understanding weather and its signs belongs to the wide lands of pleasure rather than to the fenced spaces of

HALMA RIB took part in BOOT Düsseldorf with the new HR30, a boat we had the chance to test exclusively a few weeks ago at Marina Porto Antico. The quality that impressed us, along with the boat's starting price of around €100,000, certainly caught the attention of many visitors at the shipyard’s stand in Hall 3, where the boat was on full display. In addition to its extremely sporty design, the HR30 boasts a maximum

GARCIA 60 Exploration: the all-terrain vessel of the sea
Garcia is fearless in its path; its distinctive aluminium cruising yachts have gained a strong reputation over the past 50 years. The latest model, the Garcia 60 Exploration, is a shoal-draught expedition yacht that will take you anywhere around the globe.

Jean Pierre and Jean Louis Garcia in
Mercury Avator 7.5e: electric outboard with a smart management system, the test
Whilst at the 2023 Düsseldorf boat show I was asked to test the new Mercury Avator 7.5e electric outboard. Why not it was -2° but I was up for the challenge.

Neo 570c: the super test of Neo Yachts’ flagship
A very special sea trial for the Neo 570c, the latest addition from NeoYachts. Racing, cruising-racing or racing-cruising? There are many ways to classify a fast sailboat but, after so many years and many trials, I can tell you frankly that, leaving pure cruising boats out of this discourse, this definition depends almost exclusively on how we ourselves want to rig our boat and, of course, on the willingness of the yard to make the

Christian Grande and the genesis of the Rebel 50G: “The freedom of an inflatable, the comforts of a boat”
With Christian Grande aboard the Rebel 50G A true innovator is one who does not stick to established patterns, but rather traces an unbeaten path to give the world something new, something that no one knew about yet.

Absolute Navetta 64: a superyacht in less than 20 meters
Absolute Navetta 64: innovation is at home in Absolute Yachts She has already impressed us at the time of the presentation of her project that, as usual for Absolute, to define innovative is somewhat reductive. Being able to build, within just 64 feet, a true stern beach club equipped with a cabin with sea view, is a really difficult task which, however, has turned out very well with the Absolute Navetta 64.That's why we could not
Jeanneau DB/37 OB premiers in the US
Just a year after her larger sibling made a splash, the new Jeanneau DB/37 OB was introduced at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this October. The previous DB/43 was such a hit that the French builder developed a smaller model which doesn’t require as big of a slip or as fat a wallet. The “DB” stands for “day boat” but this Michael Peters and Camillo Garroni collaboration is so much more. With her versatile

FIM 340 Regina, the evolution of the species
A day aboard the new FIM 340 Regina. If you thought you'd seen it all in terms of ten-metre open sports yachts, you'd be very wrong. The new FIM 340 Regina is a boat that is decidedly different from all the others, capable of perfectly combining sporty design with above-average liveability. A combination that, while certainly what everyone would like, is extremely difficult to synthesize.But FIM - Fabbrica Italiana Motoscafi - has plenty of experience to
Nor-Tech 460 Flyer ‘s Government Cut getaway beautifully insane – brutally insane
Nor-Tech 460 Flyer sea trial in Miami. The high performance powerboat and yacht manufacturer Nor-Tech Boats did it again with hull number 4 of the custom-built 460 Flyer. It's been called every name in the book from a Bugatti Chiron, to Daddy's Caddy to a flying condo on water, but following my short-but-sweet getaway through Government Cut (Miami's manmade shipping channel) into the deep Atlantic for a series of take-your-breath-away turns, I would call it
Scanner Envy 1200 HT Outboard: sea trial of an out-of-ordinary boat
The new Scanner Envy 1200 is a craft of undisputed success. Originally unveiled at the last Venice Boat Show in its sterndrive version, it immediately won over the public, who was literally dazzled by these lines that manage to be both elegant and sporty.
