Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 Sailboat - Best Performance Cruiser

Posted by Hannah Ellis on Dec 31, 2019 2:12:03 PM

The Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 challenges the long-time idea that bigger is better. This sailboat is so incredible it was dubbed Performance Cruiser of the Year, which just happens to be the most competitive category of awards given to boats. We had the chance to show off the 30.1 at the Newport International Boat Show, and to be honest, the title of "best performance cruiser" fits her perfectly. So what makes the Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 so special?

Posted by Hannah Ellis on Dec 16, 2019 10:58:50 AM

Congratulations to the Winners of Our Boating Lifestyle Contest

It's finally the time everyone's been waiting for. Today we announce our boating lifestyle photo-contest winner. We had so many amazing submissions, but two of them made us say, "they are living the life." The boating lifestyle isn't just about owning a boat, it's about so much more. It's about time with family, disconnecting from our crazy lives, and spending time in the simplicity of nature. The boating lifestyle is truly about enjoying the little things in life. We want to say, "thank you" to everyone who entered. We loved all of your photos and enjoyed reading about what the boating lifestyle means to you. Congratulations to our 2019 photo contest winners.

The New Cobia 350 Center Console Is for You If...

Posted by Hannah Ellis on Nov 4, 2019 11:00:57 AM

Every once in a while a boat comes along that blurs the lines between sport and luxury. We’ve seen it before with Hatteras Sportfishing Yachts and the Cabo 41. This time Cobia is bringing their A game to the table with a new 35-foot center console. The Cobia 350 CC debuted this year and instantly caught our eye. Cobia has always provided high-quality center and dual console boats, successfully packaging together hours of fun on the water in a powerful yet easy to handle, mid-sized package. The 350 CC brings all of this to the table... and then some.
