Cruisers Cantius 42
The Cruisers Cantius 42 is a fresh replacement for the Cantius 41, though the two share little more than a name. Debuted at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the 42 presents a distinct European profile compared with the older express-style model.
Inside, the galley has been moved up and recessed aft in the saloon, creating seamless flow to the cockpit through sliding glass doors. Below, the layout offers two staterooms: a forward master and a VIP amidships—an arrangement that balances privacy and comfortable guest accommodations.
Standard propulsion is a twin set of 370-hp Volvo Penta D6 diesels driving IPS500 pod units. That package produces a 30-knot top speed with a comfortable cruise around 27 knots. Joystick steering is fitted for precise low-speed handling and close-quarters docking.

Sealine C430

Galeon 430 HTC
Polish builder Galeon added the 430 HTC to its hardtop lineup, basing the coupe on the proven 420 Fly hull. The design maximizes interior volume by setting the cabin sole lower in the hull to increase headroom. Extensive glazing on the front, sides and roof floods the interior with light and opens up for ventilation via a power sunroof and operable windows.
Belowdecks the 430 HTC offers a three-stateroom layout: a forward master with a queen island berth and two guest cabins each with twin bunks. Twin heads with showers are accessed from a shared foyer. The cockpit sits low, creating a strong connection to the water.
