For me, first impressions count and my first impression was WOW! It turned out that this 64-footer was 'wow' all over.
Party Kraft Admiral 2400 LE Review
The party cat has gone up-market and a good example is the Party Kraft Admiral 2400 Luxury Edition.
Pegiva Super Squalo Classic Review
The Pegiva is the type of boat an owner uses for a pleasant Sunday afternoon run with a couple of friends, up to Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast or to an exclusive harbour-side restaurant in Sydney for lunch, when the weather is right that is.

Perry 44.5 Passagemaker Review
The construction of the cat is exactly the same as the 43-foot sailing version, from the gunwales down. The hull shapes have the Perry-designed full bow which display characteristic buoyancy and sea-keeping qualities.

The Pershing 37 was premiered in Australia at the Sanctuary Cove and Sydney Boat International boat shows. It proved one of the eye-catchers at both of shows.
