Triple 600 hp Mercury V-12s and a Michael Peters stepped hull in a 50-foot express cruiser hand-built in Cape Town.

Some must-see yachts debuting this season include the Swan 128, RMK Livia 50, Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer and Zeelander 8.

The Azimut Yachts Seadeck 7 has four staterooms, plus crew quarters, and features the extensive use of recycled materials.

Quad outboards, a stepped hull form, 45-knot speed and refined lines help the De Antonio Yachts D60 create its niche.

The Zeelander 8 is the Dutch yacht builder’s 40-knot flagship, a broad-shouldered, luxe, three-stateroom express cruiser.

A distinctive reverse-bow design, long range and onboard comfort for making passages are the start of the Pardo Endurance 72.

Sunseeker’s 37-knot Predator 55 is the series’ smallest model, but with big comfort features and a quiet ride.

Regal’s 50 SAV embraces versatility, luxury and performance on the water in this outboard-powered sport-utility vessel.

The 56-foot Uniesse Exuma HTC5P has Italian style, luxe amenities and speed that tops 50 knots, thanks to its outboard power.

Tiara’s new Luxury Sport flagship is designed to accommodate quad 600 hp outboards and should run in the 50-knot range.

Designed for hardcore offshore work, this 46-knot express boat from Pursuit is equally adept as a family cruiser.
