Welcome to the futureWally's Power 58 is 20 years ahead of its time, says Stefano de Vivo, Managing Director of the renowned yacht builder. A matter of opinion. The fact is, the modern design with its clear lines is the house style. They are always looking for and finding ways to improve style, comfort and performance. The owner can choose between three different layouts: Guest, crew or double saloon version. There is no alternative to the cockpit equipment with a steering position, XXL sunbed, dining area and a galley divided into two sections. Under the cockpit floor is Volvo Penta's electronically controlled IPS (3x 550 or 600 hp), which, in combination with the hull design, ensures perfect manoeuvring and excellent rough water comfort.

More than 150 years of tradition Gozzi are classic fishing boats from the Liguria region. Apreamare goes back to the roots. In other words: although perfectly modernised, the new 45 does not want to and cannot hide its traditional Sorrentino-Gozzo lines. The result of the "renovation work" is a boat with personality, charm and understated elegance. The hull construction is anything but plain and simple, allowing engines with conventional shaft systems (2x 600 hp) or Volvo Penta's innovative IPS 650 (2x 480 hp) to be installed. The advantage of the modern, electronically controlled pod drives: they generate longer ranges (350 instead of 241 nautical miles at cruising speed), make manoeuvring child's play in any situation, save fuel and accelerate the Gozzo 45 to 33 knots at full load.

America discovers Europe The majority of their competitors are built in Scandinavia. Here, fast, sea-going commuters, as commuters are called in English, are at the top of the bestseller lists. And this is exactly where Wellcraft wants to firmly establish its 355. The US company's recipe for success includes a hull suitable for rough water, which is capable of speeds of 50 knots thanks to three 350 hp outboards, solid construction and appealing comfort for a weekend trip. The owner will find the latter in a cabin with a double bed and separate bathroom and in the deck saloon, which, equipped with a steering position, galley and dinette, doubles as a wheelhouse and living room. Sun worshippers have their place in the cockpit and on the foredeck, where the standard deck layout includes a comfortable XXL sun lounger. Info: www.wellcraft.com
