I was cruising around the Atlantic Seaboard yesterday and it was one of those days that reminds you of the importance of owning a power yacht. I looked over the small bay area of Clifton 4th beach and was pleased that a few players had taken the initiative.

And that’s when I remembered on of 2oceansvibe’s most recent affiliates, Boating World . I zipped over to their website and my personal choice for summer.

The Fairline Squadron 68

Check it out:

Since its launch, the Squadron 68 has been highly praised by her owners and the world’s press alike. She too, was awarded the Motorboat of the Year trophy in her class of 2007. The innovative features, cutting-edge design concepts and radically modern styling of the interior have impressed everyone who has been aboard to experience this unique level of ‘large yacht’ luxury. The sheer space available for moving around and socializing is instantly appealing; the magnificent saloon with its separate dining area; the elegant master stateroom with its large vertical windows; the spacious 4-cabin layout and sumptuous guest accommodation; the massive flybridge deck; the impressive cockpit area; the provision of discreet transom access for the crew cabin. This truly is a ‘large’ yacht, in every sense of the word.

Maxing and relaxing

That’s where the magic happens

The Squadron 68 may make many fresh statements in style, furnishings, décor finishes and on-board facilities, yet her handling and performance are still precisely what owners expect from a Fairline; the superbly quiet, comfortable and confident ride that is the hallmark of these fine yachts.

That’s what I’m talking about!
