Boats

Chris Craft Boats have been in the business for well over a century now with the parent company being founded in 1874. These guys are responsible for bringing leisure boating to the masses in the 1930’s and 1950’s. The Corsair 36 European Edition is their new stylish sports boat offering unmatched luxury and interior space for this category of boats.

The Corsair 36 European Edition is powered by a set of Volvo V8 engines producing a total of 840 horsepower and is capable of reaching speeds as high as 42 knots. The boat features an open lounging area towards the rear of the boat offering maximum seating capability and also has an electric dining table that can hide in the teak sole.

I’ve always been fascinated with hovercrafts, I don’t really know why?  Maybe because a hovercraft is a boat that flies/glides over water and land, and who doesn’t like a flying boat?  A normal hovercraft is cool but the “Flying Hovercraft”, shown here, not only glides over water and land; it actually takes flight like a plane.

The Flying Hovercraft does everything a regular hovercraft can do but it can also fly up to 50 feet above ground and reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.  The flying hovercraft takes flight with the help of two lightweight integrated wings and is powered by a fuel-injected turbocharged twin-cylinder engine that produces 130 horsepower.  The flying boat can carry a payload of up to 600 pounds and has a range of 160 miles.

Mulder, the Dutch yacht manufacturer, has recently delivered the new Mulder 72 Convertible. The design is based on the Mulder 68 but a bit larger at 22 meters in length. The Mulder yachts are renowned for their elegance, performance, style, light-weight design, and iPad controllable features. The interior and exterior of the yacht was designed by Guido de Groot, and the naval architecture was completed by Vripack.

The Mulder 72 Convertible is powered by two powerful Caterpillar C18 motors producing 1,018 horsepower each and housed in an efficiently designed engine room. With over two thousand horsepower available on demand, the yacht is able to reach speeds as high as 26 knots. To enhance the luxurious appearance, the insulated exhaust system is finished in a blinged out high-gloss stainless steel.

I keep trying to convince a few friends of mine to go on a cruise with me, but they always tell me that they avoid them for fear of getting seasick. Well, after watching this video of a cruise ship in the middle of a bad storm, I’m starting to see where they’re coming from.

The video below was taking from inside the Pacific Sun after it encountered a huge storm about 400 miles off the coast of New Zealand. The cruise ship faced 25-foot-tall waves and heavy winds… waves and winds big enough to

When it comes to transportation in style, most of us gearheads think of cars or planes but we somehow ignore the other stylish transportation mode, luxury boats and yachts.  Take the Intermarine 55, for example, it’s a luxury yacht designed by Brazilian yacht makers Intermarine in collaboration with BMW Designworks USA.

The Intermarine 55 features a stunning exterior design with an abundance of windows for the occupants to enjoy the view.  The yacht is 57 feet long and is available with two engine options that include a set of 670 horsepower engines for the endurance model and a set of 800 horsepower power model.  The endurance model can travel up to 350 nautical miles with a top speed of 31 knots and the power model can travel up to 300 nautical miles with a top speed of 35 knots.
