Largest, top-of-the-line Sundancer

Largest, top-of-the-line Sundancer

Goes the distance with fuel efficiency

To create this flagship of their yacht line, Sea Ray’s design team went back to the drawing board and started from scratch. With three exquisitely appointed staterooms standard, superior performance from the 1100 CR MAN engines and a host of luxurious amenities, this boat is in a class all its own.

Long-distance trips are a breeze at cruising speeds, thanks to optimal fuel efficiency. And standard bow and stern thrusters make docking surprisingly easy. Molded steps, wide walkways and an enormous standard hydraulic-lift swim platform provide convenient access from the dock or water.

Carver 44 Sojourn

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
Domestic debut

Domestic debut

Dynamic new design

The design and character of the new 44 Sojourn is strikingly different from other boats — successfully combining the low-profile style and performance of an express cruiser with the roomy bridge, spacious cockpit and open-air salon of a sedan. Additionally, all of the living space is on one convenient stair-less level.

A low profile and an extended superstructure make the yacht look unique, contemporary, lean and aggressive. The extended superstructure also gives the 44 the most spacious bridge of any boat this size. The bridge seats at least 12 people, so guests can enjoy the view from aloft while underway and at dockside. The bridge also has a roomy sun lounge. Add the refrigerator and grill to this area, and you have a self-contained environment that is equal to no other boat.

The helm is designed to accommodate a full array of high tech nav/com instruments, and space is provided to flush-mount a 12″ display. The painted aluminum arch and integral hardtop serve as sturdy mounting platforms for radio, television and radar antennas and as a beefy anchor point for the bridge’s full enclosure.

Step inside the 44, and you’ll immediately notice that unlike an express-style boat, a number of salon windows and an aft sliding door let in plenty of sunlight. Various types of finely finished hardwoods are used throughout the yacht to provide a stylish, contemporary atmosphere. To port is a sectional sofa lounge and to starboard a dinette that seats six and converts to a double bed. The galley is adjacent to the salon and is equipped with a full complement of home-like features.

Situated forward of the galley are two staterooms and two head compartments. The master stateroom has a roomy island berth, and the VIP stateroom features his and hers twin beds. For at-home comfort inner-spring, pillow-top mattresses are used in both staterooms. And, in true Carver tradition, there is plenty of space to store and hang clothing and personal items for an extended cruise.

The large transom platform makes boarding the boat while at dockside safe and convenient. Integrated into the transom is a unique jump seat. The boat’s spacious cockpit has built-in, secure storage for dock lines, fenders and other equipment. A walk to the boat’s foredeck from the cockpit is safe and secure, because the walkway is extra wide and the strong stainless steel handrails have double welded bases. On the foredeck you’ll find a comfortable, double-wide chaise lounge, automatic windlass and remote control spot light.

This all new Carver has been designed for Volvo’s innovative IPS drive system, which provides power to run at 29 knots at cruising speed and achieve a top speed of 32 knots. Volvo IPS drives provide improved propulsion efficiency when compared to traditional shaft-driven systems. And with the joystick control you’ll be able to dock the Carver 44 with a level of precision and confidence that you may never thought possible.

The Carver 44 is an entirely new and unique style of yacht that’s built to accommodate fun-filled time on the water without having to sacrifice comfort, space, style or safety.

Hinckley 36 Picnic

Monday, August 25th, 2008

New this year

New this year

A range of innovations

Take a close look at the New Picnic Boat and you’ll see a familiar, understated aesthetic that merges form and function. Look more deeply, and you’ll discover a range of innovations such as twin-diesel engines, an open-deck design, a raised pilothouse and a hull capable of providing stability and comfort under a wide range of conditions. The Picnic Boat’s love affair with the water lives on.

Higher level of power — Twin 300HP diesel engines, coupled with Hinckley’s Waterjet propulsion and controlled by the patented Hinckley JetStick®, power the New Picnic Boat. It is fast, responsive and quiet with lower drag at speed for fuel efficiency. Lastly, as a waterjet, it is environmentally friendly to our seagoing friends like the manatees — and provides greater safety by not entangling lobster buoys.

True Hinckley hull — The New Picnic Boat has a deeper-V hull for stability and comfort in all weather and sea conditions. Yet it requires only two feet and one inch of draft, making it equally at home a few feet from the beach or well offshore. And, of course, the hull construction is a Vinylester resin-infused composite of Kevlar, E-Glass and Carbon Fiber, making the hull light, stiff and impact resistant.

Open deck design — The twin engines are repositioned to reside completely below deck, freeing up significant space aft for relaxing and entertaining. Built-in storage keeps the entire deck area free of clutter.

Command viewing, superior ventilation — We’ve slightly elevated the pilothouse, and the difference is dramatic. Captains enjoy greater visibility and safety, while power hatches and windows allow passengers to enjoy enhanced climate control and a sense of connection between the onboard and outdoor environment.

Hinckley signatures — JetStick® control. A sculpted salon of handcrafted cherry, teak and holly. And, of course, with eight full service boatyards, a level of service that provides complete management and maintenance of your boat.
