Tech & Toys · Fliteboard

When the Water Goes Quiet

I went to Deerfield Beach to take my first eFoil lesson on a Fliteboard, the electric board born in Australia and now part of Brunswick. I stood up, I flew, and I understood why its riders talk about silence before they ever talk about speed.

Technology · Artificial Intelligence

The Invisible Copilot

From the collision-avoidance systems now adopted by Ferretti and Azimut|Benetti to shipyards that plan by algorithm, artificial intelligence has come aboard. A survey of what is confirmed, what is still a promise, and what remains the captain’s responsibility.

ONBOARD · WATER TOYS

SOUTHERN WIND · SW105

Conquering the Wind

The fifth hull in the SW105 series, christened Sorvind, is where Farr Yacht Design's naval architecture, Nauta Design's hand, and Southern Wind's carbon craft converge into a 32-meter sloop that meets the ocean with both speed and restraint.

Why Smaller Premium Boats Matter More Than Ever

In a market trained to celebrate scale, one category is gaining standing for a different reason: it offers more frequent access, more spontaneous use, and a more livable idea of luxury.

Personal Submersibles · How to Choose Well

The Art of Exploring the Depths

Two Houses, One Throttle

Since 2007, a German performance house and a Florida powerboat builder have shipped a new car-and-boat pairing almost every year. The thirteenth, the Cigarette 41' Nighthawk AMG Black Series, is where the idea reaches full voltage.

ONBOARD SYSTEMS

Navigating Connectivity

The boat has become an office, a living room, and a navigation desk all at once. Staying connected offshore is no longer a luxury; it is the layer the entire vessel runs on. A field guide to how the signal actually arrives.

An ocean that fades into a single tone, lights that mean things, distances that no longer behave. A working guide to the hours when the water teaches everyone to look twice.
