Autumn signals change in the boating world. As many Northeastern boaters haul their boats or head south, manufacturers are unveiling new models for the fall show circuit. From center consoles and sport cats to luxury motoryachts, these are the notable new boats arriving at marinas and boat shows this season.
1 World Cat 235HB
World Cat, the North Carolina-based power catamaran specialist, has expanded its entry-level offering with the 235 HB (Hybrid Bay). At 22 feet, 7 inches, the 235 HB complements the 235 TE (Tournament Edition) as the brand’s smallest model, delivering a versatile platform for inshore cruising, sandbar days and light offshore fishing without stepping up to a larger offshore catamaran.
Designed with family cruising in mind, the HB swaps some of the TE’s fishing-specific spaces for additional passenger seating while retaining serious angling capability. With only 9 inches of draft it can access shallow flats yet handle deeper waters. Fishing amenities include a 30-gallon livewell, two 17-quart forward fishboxes, four-tray tackle storage and a full aft casting platform with lift-up bench seating. Its 8-foot, 6-inch beam provides ample room for casting and moving around the deck.
Unlike the TE’s open bow, the HB sports forward passenger seating for up to five adults. The forward lounger contains about 310 quarts of storage and a 5-gallon bucket holder, while integrated bow rails enhance safety. Twin Yamaha outboards are offered in 115- or 150-hp ratings; with the larger engines World Cat reports a top speed near 45 knots.
2 Absolute Navetta 58
Absolute Yachts introduces the Navetta 58 Andromeda, the third generation of its long-running Navetta 58 series. The 58 displays contemporary Italian styling, featuring Absolute’s distinctive squircle-shaped bow windows, glazed cockpit gunwales and reverse-transom hull sides.
The cockpit is sheltered by the flybridge and offers configurable layouts. The salon can be specified with a foldaway lounge table, a dining table for six, or a lounge arrangement with armchairs. The flybridge includes a flexible aft terrace, an L-shaped sofa with a sliding ceramic table, a fully equipped wet bar and a starboard helm station.
Accommodation options include a forward owner’s cabin with a walk-in wardrobe, a midship VIP with en-suite head, and a guest cabin with twin berths that electrically convert to a double. The 57-foot, 9-inch yacht is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS D11 drives.
3 Hinckley 41
Building on last year’s Picnic Boat 39, Hinckley expands the line with the outboard-powered Hinckley 41, developed with Doug Zurn of Zurn Yacht Design. Measuring 45 feet, 4 inches overall with a 40-foot, 3-inch waterline and a 12-foot, 11-inch beam, the 41 blends forward seating and a refined interior with added practicality.
New to the 41 is an amidships storage locker sized for Seabobs, inflatable paddleboards and scuba gear. The cockpit includes a galley with refrigerator and integrated storage, plus a SureShade retractable awning. An oversized swim platform enhances water access, and below deck the layout provides a forward V-berth and an enclosed head.
Standard propulsion is triple 350-hp Mercury Verado outboards, with triple 400-hp Verados optional. Hinckley reports a top speed of about 46 knots, a cruise near 33 knots and a 450-gallon fuel capacity yielding a reported cruising range around 403 miles.
4 Regulator 31
Regulator Marine’s redesigned 31 continues as the middle model in its offshore center console lineup. Since its 2017 debut the Regulator 31 has earned a reputation for speed and offshore capability; the updated 2027 version borrows innovations from the award-winning Regulator 35.
Updates include a revised T-top with ventilation, drainage gutters, integrated handrail and eleven rocket launchers, plus a raised bullnose toe rail for a classic sportfish profile and added crew safety. Standard systems now feature an E-Hub lithium battery, Garmin Offshore electronics package, Seakeeper Ride and Quick-Connect engine flush.
Angling amenities include more than 1,400 quarts of cold storage, a transom livewell and up to 27 rod holders, with options for a refrigerated transom fishbox, second livewell, electric reel plugs and outrigger bases. Comfort features include an adjustable sunpad, double forward console seat with cooler and sunshades fore and aft. With a 36-foot, 5-inch LOA, 300 gallons of fuel and twin 450-hp Yamaha XTO outboards with Helm Master EX, the 31 is built to deliver quick, comfortable passages to productive fishing grounds.
5 EdgeWater 310SC
EdgeWater Boats, in partnership with the Nimbus Group, introduces the 310SC, its first side-console model designed for coastal cruising and entertaining. The 32-foot 310SC rides on a variable-deadrise deep-V hull built with EdgeWater’s Single Piece Infusion construction.
A distinctive sliding port walkthrough glass windshield with integrated wiper creates a clear bow-to-stern passage. The cockpit includes aft-facing lounges, a convertible transom bench and an integrated prep station with sink and storage, while a hardtop-integrated rainforest shower is standard. Dual helm seats with flip-up bolsters sit beneath the hardtop.
Forward, lounge seating offers comfortable relaxation; below deck the cabin contains a double berth, wood-laminate cabinetry, a freshwater sink and an enclosed electric head, with air conditioning as an option. Twin 300-hp Yamaha outboards with digital steering are standard, upgradeable to twin 350s plus joystick control and Seakeeper stabilization. Fuel capacity is 215 gallons.
6 Saxdor 460 GTS
Saxdor Yachts expands its high-performance outboard line with the 460 GTS, a second flagship that shares the twin-stepped deep-V hull of the recently launched 460 GTC but emphasizes open-air living. The 47-foot, 3-inch GTS debuts with a retractable roof and optional sliding doors to offer an alfresco experience when conditions allow.
Outdoor amenities include a U-shaped cockpit with an adjustable table that converts to a sunpad, fold-down side terraces to increase deck area, a wet bar and outdoor galley, plus bow wraparound seating. Below, two full cabins and an enclosed head provide overnight comfort. The GTS uses the same platform as the GTC, which with triple 300- to 425-hp outboards has reported top speeds in the mid-40s to 50-knot range.
7 Viking Valhalla 46 Sport Yacht
Valhalla Boatworks, Viking Yacht Co.’s sister brand, adds the 46 Sport Yacht to its luxury outboard Sport Yacht range. The 46 SY shares exterior lines with the 55 SY and targets boaters who favor cruising and entertaining over tournament fishing.
Built on Michael Peters’ efficient double-stepped running surface, the 46 SY is offered in enclosed and open versions. The enclosed model features powered side doors and an aft bulkhead with a summer kitchen; the open model removes the bulkhead for a seamless flow from helm to cockpit. Both include a powered sunroof and raised seating aft of three helm chairs, with a starboard console designed for flush-mounted multifunction displays and clear sightlines through a single-piece windshield.
Cockpit features include twin folding bulwarks that expand deck area, a molded fiberglass module with U-shaped seating and storage, and bow wraparound seating with a recessed sunpad that brings light into the cabin below. Interior accommodations include a galley, forward owner’s stateroom with queen berth and twin aft berths. The 46 SY will be available with triple or quad Mercury V12 Verado outboards, with performance expected to mirror Valhalla’s center-console equivalents.
8 Palm Beach GT50 RS
Palm Beach Motor Yachts stretches into the high-speed outboard segment with the GT50 RS, the quad-outboard model that complements its GT RS series. Born from a client request for a stylish high-speed commuter, the GT50 RS is already in regular use on coastal runs.
Measuring 56 feet, 1 inch with a 14-foot, 8-inch beam, the GT50 RS uses carbon fiber, E-glass and vinylester in a fully infused monocoque structure to create a light, stiff hull optimized for stable, high-speed operation. With quad 500-hp Mercury outboards the builder reports top speeds around 50 knots.
Comfort is emphasized alongside performance: the fully enclosed, air-conditioned salon has large opening side windows and a sunroof for an open feel, while below deck the forward owner’s cabin features a king-size berth—uncommon at this size. Interiors include carbon-fiber accents, Alcantara and high-gloss teak, and the cockpit centers on L-shaped seating with a dinette for socializing and entertaining.
9 Wellcraft 33 T-Top and Speedster
Wellcraft expands its crossover center-console family with the new Wellcraft 33, available in T-Top and Speedster iterations. Designed with Navia Design, the 33 rides on a twin-stepped hull tuned to plane quickly and handle chop with confidence.
Power choices include single or twin Mercury V-8 or V-10 outboards with combined outputs from 350 to 700 hp; Wellcraft cites top speeds above 50 knots. The single-level walkaround deck supports modular cockpit arrangements: the Lounge layout maximizes seating, the Relax module adds a large sunpad and dining area, and the Barracuda module—exclusive to the T-Top—focuses on fishing with integrated rod holders, a wet bar prep station, a 150-liter fishbox and a 120-liter livewell. The T-Top version offers a choice of high or sport windshields and will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
10 Aquila 35 Sport
Aquila adds the 35 Sport to its power-cat Sport series, bringing SUV-inspired styling and a compact, social-focused layout ideal for entertaining, watersports and day cruising. At 35 feet, 6 inches overall with a 14-foot, 9-inch beam, the 35 Sport offers about 289 square feet of deck space and a hardtop that provides roughly 165 square feet of overhead coverage with optional stowage racks for kayaks and paddleboards.
Multiple social zones include forward seating for four, a low-profile helm with four seats and a cockpit with sliding U-shaped seating that shifts port or starboard electrically. The cockpit also houses a summer galley and an open transom for easy water access. Below deck, a queen-berth cabin, private wet head and optional climate control enable weekend getaways. The 35 uses Aquila’s double-stepped hull and accepts twin 300- or 400-hp Mercury Verado outboards, with reported top speeds from about 39 to 45 knots and cruising speeds in the mid-20s to mid-30s.
11 Fairline Targa 58 GTO
British yard Fairline introduces the Targa 58 GTO, a new flagship for its sport-cruiser Targa series. At 58 feet, 11 inches and a 16-foot, 4-inch beam, the 58 GTO expands on the Targa range with features that prioritize entertainment and tender-carrying capability.
A galley-up layout and hydraulic patio doors enable an open or enclosed pilothouse experience—the starboard patio door lowers and the port galley window retracts to create a continuous social cockpit. A large aft sunpad sits behind dining seating for eight, while fold-down bulwarks increase cockpit area by more than 40 percent. Below, a standing-height garage can stow a Williams tender plus a SeaBob—rare on yachts of this size.
Accommodation comprises three cabins with double en-suites, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom amidships and a forward VIP with optional scissor berths. The 58 GTO rides on twin 900- or 1,000-hp Volvo Penta shaft-drive diesels, with an estimated top speed around 32 knots and a fuel capacity of 732 gallons.
12 Princess C48 Open
Princess Yachts enters the outboard market with the C48, billed as the fastest Princess to date and offered in Open and Deck Saloon versions. The C48 results from a collaboration between Michael Peters Yacht Design, Olesinski Design and Princess’s in-house team.
Riding on a Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull to reduce drag and increase lift, the Open model emphasizes dayboating with a fully open main deck, hardtop, exterior galley, aft sunpad and forward seating. Below, the layout includes a lower salon with convertible dinette, a lobby with storage, a day head and an aft cabin. The Deck Saloon adds a fully enclosed salon with triple sliding doors and additional cabin flexibility below.
Triple Mercury Verado outboard packages (400- or 600-hp) offer top speeds in the mid-40s to mid-50s knots depending on power; inboard options with twin Volvo D6-480 diesels provide cruising speeds near the low 30s. The C48 Open will debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, with the Deck Saloon following in 2027.
13 Riviera 645 SUV Series II
Riviera’s flagship 645 SUV receives a Series II update this year, keeping the original hull but introducing a refreshed interior, upgraded technology and expanded customization. The 645 SUV remains a crossover motoryacht designed for open-air entertaining and serious offshore capability.
The versatile cockpit can be outfitted for watersports, socializing or fishing, and an optional hydraulic swim platform increases usable area at anchor. Sliding glass doors link the alfresco deck to a well-equipped salon and galley, where a foldaway table converts the space into a second dining area. Foredeck entertainment includes removable teak tables and a large sun awning.
Owners can choose three- or four-stateroom plans—each with a full-beam owner’s suite and three heads—or opt to trade a cabin for a lower lounge, utility room with laundry, or crew quarters. Power choices include twin MAN diesels with joystick control, and the Series II adds modern systems such as CZone digital switching, Sentinel remote monitoring, Starlink-ready connectivity, solar charging and a choice of Humphree fins or Seakeeper gyro stabilization.
14 Apreamare Gozzo 42
Apreamare continues its tradition of Mediterranean-inspired design with the new Gozzo 42, a contemporary take on the builder’s classic cabin boats. The 42 will debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival and positions itself between the Gozzo 38 Cabin and Gozzo 45.
The design team—led by Cataldo Aprea with Too Design and Marine Design—introduced a sleeker hardtop that extends aft for more shade, a fully enclosing glass windshield for comfortable cruising in varied conditions, and a helm configured for large displays. Exterior features include generous bow and stern sunpads, a wet bar and a stern platform with tender lift. Below, the standard layout offers an owner’s cabin with an optional second cabin.
The Gozzo 42 rides on a variable-geometry hull and accepts inline shaft drives up to 480 hp or Volvo Penta IPS up to IPS 650. Apreamare reports a top speed near 36 knots and more than 300 gallons of fuel capacity for ample cruising range.
15 Tiara 35 LS
Tiara Yachts expands its Luxury Sport series with the 35 LS, a versatile dayboat that adds overnight capability between the 34 LS and 39 LS. At 35 feet, 9 inches with an 11-foot, 6-inch beam, the 35 LS increases interior volume without requiring a jump to a nearly 40-foot model.
Multiple social areas include a U-shaped fore lounge with table, convertible forward- and aft-facing cockpit benches that form a single lounge, and a midcockpit galley with sink and refrigerator. Below, forward seating converts to a queen berth and a private head offers overnight comfort. Twin 350- or 425-hp Mercury Verado outboards are available, paired with integrated Garmin navigation and joystick control; early performance figures indicate top speeds of about 40.7 and 44.7 knots, respectively.
16 Hunt 56
The Hunt 56 is the first new model from the storied builder since DiMillo’s Yacht Sales acquired the company and secured the Ray Hunt Design license. Offered in Express and Flybridge versions, the 56 serves as an accessible entry point to Hunt’s deep-V heritage.
At 63 feet, 1 inch overall and a 15-foot, 7-inch beam, the 56 is Hunt’s smallest current model while retaining C. Raymond Hunt’s famed deep-V hull for a soft, dry ride offshore. Standard two-stateroom, galley-down accommodations include a full-beam owner’s cabin amidships and a forward VIP, each with en-suite heads; a three-stateroom galley-up layout is optional. The Flybridge version, powered by twin 725-hp Volvo Penta IPS 950s, has a reported top speed near 30 knots; the Express approaches 32 knots. Fuel capacity is 780 gallons, with an approximate fast-cruise range of 315 nautical miles and a maximum range around 1,080 nautical miles.
17 Sailfish 256 Dual Console
Sailfish extends its dual-console family with the 256 DC, which fits between the 245 DC and 276 DC in the lineup. At 25 feet long with an 8-foot, 10-inch beam, the 256 DC is purpose-built for fishing while offering family-friendly amenities for sandbar runs and coastal cruising.
Built on Sailfish’s Variable Degree Stepped hull for a smooth, dry ride, the 256 includes clean deck layouts, abundant stowage and practical touches like a port-side boarding door. A 150-gallon fuel capacity supports long runs to productive fishing grounds.
