You can do what you do Mark Lindsay and Scott Smith, founders and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bosten Bootsworks, have a clear plan: "We build boats for passionate owners who want high performance, functionality, safety, durability and uncompromising quality. We always look for and find the best solutions for our customers". For the new BB 52, this means composite technology, outstanding strength, excellent craftsmanship and the athletic design by Doug Zurn, which harmonises perfectly with the interior by Winch Design. There is a choice of one or two cabins with bathroom and double bed, the saloon with steering position and kitchen and the cockpit with comfortable seating area. The 40-kn express cruiser is powered by three six-cylinder diesels with sterndrive. Info: www.bostonboatworks.com
The little one for the big ones Nerea's limo tender is designed to take the owner and his guests wherever a large mega yacht cannot go. And with elegance, comfort and speed, of course. Consequently, the "delivery note" includes the clear lines of the designer, the home-made walkaround concept that makes it easier to get on and off and a 250 hp Yanmar turbodiesel with Z-drive, with which the beautifully designed limo tender from Trecastelli in Italy should be able to reach speeds of 35 knots at full load, which will not only please water skiers.

Everything inside and out It is robustly designed and solidly built, embodies functionality, offers plenty of living space and impresses with its long range. This means that the Numarine 26 XP 26 actually has everything an explorer yacht needs. Actually? If you want to literally get the XP 26, which is designed as a semi-planing yacht, up and running, you can reach for the top shelf when choosing an engine and have two 1800 hp MAN diesels installed. The 26 XP 21 mutates into a sprinter with a top speed of 31 kn, but if you want to go further - 1500 nm at a cruising speed of 10 kn - you are better off opting for one of the two standard engines (2 x 560 or 2 x 800 hp). The conventional drive with shaft is available in any case. Info: www.numarine.com
Knowing where The new, 23-long flagship of the Italian yacht builder finds its place between the Walkaround and Endurance series. In other words, the GT 75 is located somewhere between cruising and long-distance sailing. The design and construction are supplied by big names such as Zuccheri and Nauta. The GT 75 is intended to appeal to potential buyers who are looking for high-performance hull lines and an elegant interior that gives the boat the character of a villa at sea. King Customer has the choice; beach club with bathing jetty or tender garage? The fold-down bulwarks, which then mutate into cockpit terraces, are standard on both versions. The position of the galley is just as flexible, up or down: either placed on the lower deck or integrated into the saloon on the main deck. Volvo Penta's Inboard Performance System (IPS) only: There are currently no alternatives to the electronically controlled drive systems from the Scandinavian company, which are equipped with pod drives and are used as a trio on board the GT 75. Only the performance range of the charge-air-cooled turbodiesels can be selected, ranging from 3 x 700 to 3 x 1000 hp. Info: www.pardoyachts.com
When time is of the essence Centouno Navi is an insider tip, even for industry insiders. For designer Manuela Lucchesi and engineer Marco Amaboldi, the Vespro is their first joint project. It is smaller than its cousins, but has the same lightweight construction, in which carbon and fibreglass are processed in a sandwich with vinyl ester resin and PVC foam. The heart of the Vespro beats in a twin pack. Behind the two (each) 1200 hp MAN diesel engines are waterjet drives that set standards with a cruising speed of 50 knots and a top speed of 56 knots. Other highlights include the windscreen, which disappears into the roof at the touch of a button, folding cockpit terraces, guest cabin, bathroom and XXL sun loungers. Info: www.centounonavi.it
