Scout 670 w/Bridge
When Scout Boats introduced the world’s largest outboard-powered sport yacht, the Scout 670 LXS, (also Boating’s 2025 Sport Yacht Category Winner) a promise was made that a flying bridge version would follow.

Blending European style with American practicality and a unique helm arrangement, the Monterey Elite 30 was awarded Boating’s 2024 Boat of the Year. This boat is sleek, functional and fun, delivering great performance to go with its other attributes. See it at Ramp 9.

Of the Godfrey Hurricane 3200, one of our most experienced contributing editors, Charles Plueddeman wrote: “Boat buyers from swingin’ singles to empty nesters will enjoy the SunDeck 3200. It’s packed with a lot of great design features.” This is a deck boat that has evolved and grown to fit the modern boating lifestyle. See it at the Marine Connection display on Ramp 10.

Arc Sport
A watersports boat that transcends that noble label, the Arc Sport represents the bleeding edge of electric-powered pleasure boating with luxury, app-integration and technology that personalizes and optimizes owner’s time on the water. That’s why we honored it as the Electric Boat Category Winner for 2025. See it at booth 1101.

We awarded the Everglades 367 CX Dayboat Category winner honors for 2025. Now comes its big sister, the 437 CX. A larger, even more capable crossover designed for boaters who want it all: range, space, comfort, and stretching beyond 40-feet with powerful outboard options and expanded living areas. See it at: Ramp 8.
Wellcraft 28 T-Top
Making its North American premier-we brought you coverage from, Europe in January-the Wellcraft 28 T-Top is at the Palm Beach Boat Show. Notably, Boating awarded the Wellcraft 38 T-Top Center Console Category Winner last year. This 28 T-Top demands a discerning look (only one of four versions is shown here).

Intrepid 35 Valor
The newest cabin model boat from Intrepid Boats, the Intrepid Valor 35, is making its world debut at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show. We only studied the renderings so far, and are as eager to see this boat in person as anyone, but that preliminary info shows a bold new design language, and describes an evolved manufacturing approach, and a forward-looking strategy that signals a new era for Intrepid. See it, and the new 35 Panacea, at Ramp 7.
Pursuit S388 Sport
Our test of the S388 Sport proved this boat delivers an excellent ride and exhibits excellent riggings and construction. We’ve come to expect that from Pursuit, but hullside windows that enhance the view from within the console, a bigger cockpit than competitive craft and more impressed us, See it via Ramp 8.
Regulator 28
The Regulator 28 is said to be this North Carolina boatbuilder’s best-selling model. It features many characteristics taken from its bigger sisters. Check out features such as the bullnosed toe rail, magnetic cushion fasteners and a “cool” ventilation system built into the T-Top. See this boat at Ramp 10.
Highfield ADV 9
This boat may have “cracked the code” that convinces American boat buyers to widely embrace a RIB as their primary boat. Why? For starters the Highfield ADV 9 offers a deep cockpit, much more secure feeling to ride in than traditional RIBs. Secondly, it’s luxurious. Of course, it retains the standard RIB qualities of excellent performance, handling, seaworthiness and ride quality. See it at the Nautical Ventures dock, at Ramp 11.
Cruisers Yachts 50 FLY
Designed for those who crave sophistication without compromise, the all-new 50 FLY (15.5m) offers expansive outdoor living areas and a sleek, modern interior that is perfect for entertaining.
