The Cannes Yachting Festival is coming up very, very soon, and Ferretti Group has brought out the hull polish to ready five of their latest vessels to grace one of the most popular yachting events of year. Five new models from 3 brands will be making their premiere on this prestigious stage, and they are the Ferretti Yachts 860, the Custom Line 140’, the Riva 102’ Corsaro Super, the Riva 76’ Bahamas Super, and the Riva Anniversario.

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing our partnership with Sunreef Yachts, builders of bespoke luxury multihulls. The shipyard is based in Gdansk, Poland, a city and nation with a rich history in naval construction, and first opened its doors in 2002. Today, 20 years later, the builder is pushing boundaries on what is normal in multihull yachting, and have also opened a new shipyard in UAE to better cater to boaters in the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

The Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095, a highly talented and versatile weekender, is arriving at the end of this year, and the Leopard Catamarans 53 Powercat, the yard’s largest powered-multihull, is available in the first half of 2023.

Whatever the reasons may be, you’ve decided that a preowned vessel is what you need right now – be it realising a long-held dream, or upgrading to your next yacht. In this list of 7 exemplary yachts are small coastal boats, as well as vessels large enough for spending many comfortable weekends, and of course, as always, get in touch with us should something pique your interest.

Just like taking a car out for a test drive before purchasing it, so too a boat should be taken for a sea trial before she is bought. It is not just a highly encouraged part of boat buying. A sea trial is vital to ensure that you did not just make a very expensive mistake and that you know most, if not all, of the risks that may come with the purchase.

The hottest months of the year are upon us, and you know what this means – it’s yachting season! Sure, sporadic showers may still happen, but chances are much higher that the days are bright and the wind is gentle. It’s time to block schedules, free up some time, and plan that boating holiday you’ve been dreaming of for so many months. The key to having fun is in the preparation, so here is a basic and advanced checklist to make sure you have a good time out there.

In their simplest forms, boats are quite straightforward machines, but even so, they have specially named parts that are not usually used in the parlance of landlubbers. As these ocean-going vessels increase in size and complexity, of course, so too does the number of their parts. Even so, most of the parts are similarly named on small 15-footers and container-carrying behemoths alike.

The brands that Pen Marine represent are constantly innovating and building new vessels to meet the needs of boaters who want only the best in their vessels. These shipyards have all launched new vessels or have announced exciting new yachts coming up sometime in the year, and these boats all bring something new to sea. Let’s take a closer look.

There are certain things about boating that are just understood the world over – much like the rules of the road – and boaters everywhere will know what we are talking about.
