Monte Fino 96 Review
The Monte Fino 96 offers luxurious interior appointments and a level of quality, style and attention to detail that make this floating palace an ideal motoryacht for long range cruising, or simply entertaining guests dockside.
Monte Fino 70 Review
Her looks and performance are breathtaking and she's one of the few motoryachts on the market that allows the buyer to customise her layout to suit their own requirements.
Moody 42 Review
It is a very classy centre-cockpit cruising yacht that is modern but observes the traditional values which are essential for true seaworthiness.
Moody 54 Review
The Moody heeled, groaned and accelerated. Things happened quickly then as 20 tonnes of plush and powerful cruising yacht headed for disaster.
Moody 45 Deck Saloon Review
Bill has given the Moody the Hanse/superyacht look favoured by the Italian Wally superyachts: slab sides, high freeboard, bulwarks, teak where possible and slabs of glass.
Mustang 43 Boat Review
Now present Mustang owners, and other owners, have the option of stepping up from a sports cruiser to a boat with the extra room and cruising capabilities of a flybridge at a competitive price.
