Outside the Channel

Group Beneteau is currently in the midst of unveiling the five boats comprising its brand-new Excess line of cruising catamarans.

The 24XO was introduced at the Miami International Boat show in February, and it’s the second model in a new line that combines the shallow-water capability of a bay boat with a deep-vee hull capable of heading offshore when the weather is right. The first model, introduced last year, was the 26XO.

The X-Yachts X4.0, a new 40-footer that came out at the same time Denmark’s X-Yachts was celebrating its 40th anniversary, more than does justice to the storied builder’s reputation for quality and performance.

The Hylas H60 comes from the dedicated Hylas Yard in Taiwan. This yacht brings with it a level of performance and head turning good looks that will certainly capture the attention of yachtsmen and women around the world.

Ocean Alexander is taking its reputation of excellence and bringing you a whole new class of luxury. Introducing Divergence — our new 45’ boat that transcends boundaries by flawlessly merging the comforts of a yacht with the size, swiftness and accessibility of a sport boat.

Extreme comfort, amazing landscapes
