Sport Cruiser Explodes Goes Ablaze at Island Boatyard, New York

An eight meter sport cruiser with three persons onboard exploded first and then went ablaze at Island Boatyard in Shelter Island, to the East of Long Island, New York on the afternoon of Friday twenty August 2021.  Shelter Island Fire Department responded to the blaze first, and were later assisted by Police Department marine unit, Suffolk County Sherriff’s marine unit, and a Sea Tow vessel.  The three boaters get off safely from the boat, which then drifted very close into nearby West Nock Harbor, and then getting wrecked and partly sunk.  The boat was reported to have just refuelled and exploded on ignition.  The three boaters suffered no injuries with one fire fighter threated for smoke inhalation on the spot.

The boat in this fire is a 2002 Cobalt 263.  The 263 was produced from 2001 to 2007 and was a replacement to the 253, with the model not replaced as Cobalt focused its energies on bow riders rather then cuddy cruisers in this size. 

New Model: Intrepid 35 Panacea

Intrepid presents its completely new 35 Panacea, which debuted at the 2026 Miami boat show.  The 35 Panacea signals a complete new design direction for Intrepid, a revolution rather then an evolution for the Florida based builder who looks at others, in particular the Boston Whaler Realm and Tiara LS models.  For over forty years and from its 30 Console Cuddy debut model Intrepid was different and among the first in doing cabin-center-consoles hybrid boats and becoming the easy choice for those who wanted accommodation, performance, and sport-fishing features in one boat.  Now that everything is a hybrid, even center consoles are coming with cabin spaces and more entertaining features today than what they yesteryears, Intrepid is not the outcast anymore, founding itself in a need to compete.  The 35 Panacea does nothing wrong, with its caveat being that it does not look like an Intrepid at all, for example why they did not keep the beautiful stern of the Florida based builder, rather then this new basic sloop stern look.  The problem with the 35 Panacea is this, that you could put any sticker to it, and it would be a great boat, with the Intrepid badge it is a matter for the brand aficionados to cast the votes.

Aft Cabin Cruiser Saved from Sinking Near Deer Island, Boston

A twelve meter Carver aft cabin cruiser was saved from sinking near Deer Island, Boston Harbor on the night of Monday twenty April.  The cabin cruiser was tended by TowBoatUS Boston, Beverly and Newburyport who shared the story on its Facebook page, and saved the boat as they dewatered it and then towed it to a yard for a haul out.  The aft cabin cruiser was taking on water as it hit some rocky reef which ripped its starboard propeller, P-bracket and shaft.  The cause of the accident is not reported.

The boat in this accident is a Carver 4207 Aft Cabin as produced from 1985 to 1991.  The 4207 Aft Cabin was Carver largest boat when released in 1985, remaining its flagship for nearly all its production run and the arrival of the 430 Cockpit Motor Yacht in it's last year of production.

Project: Hinckley Picnic Boat 45

Hinckley present the Picnic Boat 45 project.  Building on the success of the smaller Picnic Boats, especially the recently arrived 39, the Picnic Boat 45 is the most socially considered vessel Hinckley has ever built, thanks to a bow rider deck style which offer stem to stern social spaces in a near seam-less level.  You have only one step up to access the fore-deck dinette.  The Hinckley Picnic Boat 45 also brings cabin spaces for four in two cabins; forward master and guest at midship, with a shower head to starboard.  Powered by twin Volvo 725hp and Hamilton waterjets, the Hinckley Picnic Boat 45 is poised to reach up to forty knots top speed, and a cruise of 34.

New Model: Cranchi A32 Luxury Tender

Following the A46 Luxury Tender which arrived in 2021 it was a matter of time for Cranchi to follow it with another second Luxury Tender, enters the Cranchi A32 Luxury Tender and like the four meters larger sister comes again from a design of Christian Grande.  The ten meter size has always been big for Cranchi since it became a World known name back in the eighties.  Do you remember the 31 Endurance from the eighties? It was in short words the Cranchi which road mapped the Italian builder to international fame.  With the A32 Cranchi does not forget how important this size has been to its success.  The A32 unlike its larger sister is not a full walk-around and more a hybrid day-sport-cruiser style, with a drop-down bulk-head to port side to increase cockpit space and connection to the sea at anchor.  While not a walk-around the A32 is still about exterior and cockpit spaces, easy to use from stern to bow, but cabin space is also interesting, offering a forward C-shaped dinette which transforms to a double berth, mini double berth at midships, and a wet-head to starboard.  The Cranchi A32 is powered by twin Volvo 280hp gas engines coupled to stern drive propulsion, with options for larger twin 350hp, and or 270hp diesels.

Ocean Yachts New Web Site

Ocean Yachts presents its new World wide web showroom. Ocean Yachts was founded in 1976 by Jack Leek and a group of previous Pacemaker employees, debuting in 1977 with the 40 Super Sport as designed by David Martin, who will design all Ocean Yachts till 2008.  The 40 Super Sport is an immediate success thanks to the formula of offering a sportfish with luxurious cruiser style interior accommodation.  The 40 Super Sport is followed by the 40+2 Trawler explorer cruiser a year later, showing Ocean Yachts interest to enter the cruiser segment, with the 42 Sunliner arriving in 1981 confirming this theme.  Two more Sunliner models will follow in 1983 and produced till 1986 as the line is replaced by the Motor Yacht series in 1988, which will debut with the 53 Motor Yacht, and is produced till 1999 in a total of five models from 44 to 53 foot.  Ocean Yachts will re-enter the cruising yachting segment with the Odyssey series as produced in the two 65 and 57 models from 2003 to 2009. As big yachts go Ocean Yachts goes above the fifteen meters size as its debut the successful 55 Super Sport, which is produced in 170 hulls in a nine year production run, making it one of the most sold sportfish yachts in its size.  A 63 Super Sport will take the mantle of Ocean Yachts flagship in 1986, superseded in 1993 by the 66 Super Sport, 70 Super Sport in 2000, and the 73 Super Sport in 2005 which is Ocean Yachts largest build to date.  Apart bigger models Ocean Yachts will also make smaller sub ten meter models, like the 32 Super Sport as produced from 1989 to 1992, and the 29 Super Sport its smallest ever made model as produced from 1990 to 1992.  Ocean Yachts has always shown an innovative spirit in its models and design, repeated in 2007 as it debuts the classic game boat sportfish looking 37 Billfish, and in 2014 with the futuristic looking 64 Makaira as designed by custom boat specialist Steve French.  In December 2015 following lack of business Ocean Yachts closes its doors, with the Mullica, New Jersey facility sold to Viking Yachts, and the name and some of the moulds purchased by Dr.Ira Trocki of Egg Harbor Group some months later in 2016, who offered some of the models with little success.  In 2025 Gulf Crosser purchased Ocean Yachts from the Egg Harbor Group with a plan to revamp its boat and yachts offering.  Currently Ocean Yachts offers seven models from 46 to 70 foot separated into three lines; Inboard, Outboard, and Sterndrive with the entry model being the 46 Open and going up to the 70.

Project: Van der Valk 30-Meter Project Berlin

Van der Valk presents the thirty meter project Berlin as designed by Guido de Groot. The project began in January 2025 when the owners decided to pursue a custom build to achieve their ideal layout for extended living aboard from April through October. The modern design remains under the 24-metre regulatory threshold of load-line-length, simplifying technical requirements while delivering the space and comfort of what nowadays is called a pocket super yacht. Project Berlin features an asymmetric layout, optimizing its seven metre beam for interior volume. The standout salon boasts large windows measuring nearly three metres long by two metres high that open for ventilation.  Rather than the typical four guest cabins, the yacht offers just two large VIP en-suite staterooms on the lower deck, tailored to the owners’ specific usage. The full-beam master suite on the main deck forward includes similarly impressive opening windows for sea views and fresh air. The custom interior will blend modern style with comfort through a playful aesthetic developed with the owners, who plan to use the yacht as a partial liveaboard rather than for charter or entertaining large groups. The yacht’s beam translates to expansive deck areas, with a sundeck featuring an aft spa pool with wraparound sun-pads, multiple seating and dining areas, plus a substantial outdoor galley with barbecue. The bow deck offers additional seating and sunpad space, reflecting the owners’ emphasis on maximizing both indoor and outdoor living. Staying below 24 metres provides practical advantages, including simplified technical installations and the ability to incorporate a tender garage for a four meter jet-diesel tender, without compromising engine room access. Despite relaxed crew regulations at this length, the owners prioritized exceptional crew welfare with three cabins, a large crew mess, and a dedicated laundry; amenities rarely found even on larger yachts. Project Berlin will feature a semi-displacement hard chine hull giving a draft of just two meters, and powered by twin MTU 1952hp will deliver a top speed of 25 knots and a twenty-knot cruise. Project Berlin is to be built in aluminium to MCA standards
