The Duchy 25 from cockwells in the U.K. is a semi-production motor launch with a shallow draft and a cockpit that accommodates six guests for day cruising. The boat’s hull and deck are crafted from fiberglass, and the decks are clad in synthetic teak. The Duchy 25 has a digital-switching system, a 9-inch Raymarine-built navigation system, a Fusion stereo and a tidy-size galley.

Whom It’s For: Boaters seeking a dayboat with classic, ageless lines.

Picture This: It’s a lovely spring afternoon in Annapolis, Maryland, and your friends want to see Terrapin Nature Park. You zip across the bay in your Duchy 25 and enjoy the shoreline before cruising home past Greenbury Point Light. Better still, you arrive at the Boatyard Bar & Grill in time for a triple-tier seafood tower.
