Don’t Miss: Numarine 60Fly

Making its U.S. debut, the Numarine 60Fly offers exceptional space on board. The full-beam suite with large picture windows at water level fills the cabin with light and offers picturesque views for those reclining in bed. Three ensuite guest cabins come loaded with stowage space.

The use of glass, leather and stainless steel give the Numarine 60Fly (60’4″ LOA, 16’8″ beam) a contemporary feel. The galley is incorporated into the main salon and divided by a useful bar. Flipping open hatches in the windows or electrically lowering the forward side windows in the main salon allows fresh air to circulate throughout the boat.

Hunt Surfhunter 32

Classic boats don’t just endure; they evolve over time. The Hunt Surfhunter 29 is one such classic. Her enduring hull form has now become the Hunt Surfhunter 32 with outboards (32’1″ LOA, 10’6″ beam). Hunt added an Armstrong bracket to the 29 hull which makes the boat a true 32, and the deck layout is changed to be much more accommodating.

Also debuting at FLIBS is the Hunt Ocean Series 72, the newest yacht in Hunt’s Ocean Series. Sporting lines that are classic, purposeful and clearly eager to run, Hunt calls this boat not a motoryacht, not a downeast, but a true Sports Motoryacht.

Hunt kept the deckhouse inboard from the hull sheer creating plentiful open deck space and trimmed the roof overhang to create clean lines. The 72 (71’3″ LOA, 19’6″ beam) delivers a more athletic look that’s tuned in to the way owners want to use their yachts today.
