The highly anticipated Excess 11 catamaran will make her American debut at the Miami Boat Show this year, and is sure to be the stand out catamaran of the show. The smallest model from Excess yet, the 11 is the ideal marriage of modern and sporty, and demands to be noticed. Designed by VPLP design, one of the most renowned naval architecture companies in the world, and they have outdone themselves. She is one of the smallest catamarans available to provide a surprisingly spacious interior, making her comfortable and luxurious for long passages, or short sunset cruises. The Excess 11 challenges you to explore new destinations, sail with confidence, and inspire you to make the ocean your playground.

Top Motoryacht | Beneteau Monte Carlo 52

There are many powerboats to choose from at the show, but none that stick out quite like the MC52. This is one boat you need to get on board to understand just how luxurious she is. If you’re in the market for a yacht to provide all the comfort on a weekend away with the family, plus the power to match, you’ll find the Beneteau MC52 has been crafted with all of your needs in mind. She is cleverly designed, feeling much larger than her size, with ample living and entertainment areas, huge windows in the salon bringing the outside inside, and generously sized staterooms allow a leisurely escape from reality. Our favorite place onboard is her flybridge, equipped with a retractable hardtop, perfect for making memories no matter what the weather may bring.

Top Sportfish | Bertram 61 Sportfish

Sportfish enthusiasts will love the new Bertram 61, and it’s no surprise why. Meticulously designed for performance, she runs smoother, faster, and shallower than any other boat of her size. Not only does she outshine others in her state-of-the-art propulsion, she brings the sophisticated style that can often be an afterthought for sportfish yachts. Her interior design is rich, comfortable, and spacious, with large panoramic windows in the salon, ample entertainment spaces, and 3 staterooms. This is the tournament-winning level performance you expect from Bertram, with a luxurious edge everyone can appreciate.  

Top Trawler | Beneteau ST47 Trawler

The Beneteau ST47 is our choice for circumnavigating with the family, designed to take you to your destination faster, safer, and smoother. With 3 staterooms and a contemporary interior for the boater with style, the ST47 is the perfect trawler for those who won’t settle on comfort. Not only is she spacious, she’s the more affordable option against new trawlers of her size.
