Written by: Emma Coady
Published on 21 May 2025

  3. Pershing 5X
  4. Safehaven Marine: Thunderchild II

  6. Azimut Yacht Verve 42

1. Riva El Iseo

The chicest leisure craft designed for gliding over the lakes with diva-like elegance. Initially conceived for lake cruising, the El iSEO is the classic Riva Aquarama's ultramodern cousin. Riva's first all-electric craft, it's the first battery-powered runabout. Silent, powerful and zero-emission powertrain. The El-Iseo offers three cruising modes: Adagio (ECO), Andante (planning), and Allegro (sport), each with varying speeds and battery consumption. This is 27-feet of pure seduction. Riva El-Iseo all-electric day boat Above: Riva El-Iseo all-electric runaround costs close to £1 million but its seductive looks and silent engine and easy-gliding motion provides an unparalelled experience in the lakes.

2. Lamborghini Tecnomar 63

Simply put, this is the ultimate supertoy for the water. It is easy to see how this was the boat of choice for boxer Conner McGregor who refers to the vessel as his "Rocketship". The ultra-sleek, luxury yacht designed by Tecnomar for Lamborghini, aptly known as the "Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63". The Lamborghini 63.  There were only 63 limited editions made, each measuring 63 feet in length. Features that can be attributed to the lightning-fast speeds 69 miles per hour include, 4,000 horsepower twin motors, a speed-efficient hull shape and  extensive use of lightweight carbon fibre throughout. Its sporty looks including a contoured hull and Herculean lines and racing-car features such as  start and stop buttons beside the steering wheel and racy  Y-shaped, hexagonal motif in the interiors are a nod to the FKP 37. The main control station is smooth and entices you behind the helm. Lights on the bow replicate the Y-shaped headlights of the FKP 37 and tail lights and replicate a race car. Watch the unveiling of the Tecnomar 63 below:

3. Pershing 5X

The Pershing 5X is a modern day cruiser boasting sporty panache. Outfitted with space saving with pod-drive technology, this vessel has everything you need to enjoy a comfortable overnight stay or weekend. Behind the transom plate resides a garage space for toys like SeaBobs, inflatables and a roll-up tender. With a 30-knot cruise speed and pushing 35-knots at the top end, its performance is impressive for its size. Some IPS extras for the 5X included joystick control, a dynamic positioning system and an Interceptor auto-trim-tab setup. If you want to combine modern, sporty with a family setup, this yacht is one of the coolest cruisers on the market for long weekends away.

4. Safehaven Marine: Thunderchild II

Safehaven Marine (SHM) designs and builds ultra-sturdy, superbly sleek “super boats” that can operate safely and effectively, even in extremely high sea states, making them a preferred choice for ports and operators in exposed Atlantic coastlines. shimmers in her satin gold exterior. Averaging 44.6 knots (51.3 MPH)  during their UIM Cork-Fastnet-Cork record attempt in 2020, and recording a maximum speed of 53 knots (61 MPH). Thunderchild II fuses a twin stepped asymmetrical catamaran hull form with a wave piercing monohull, to create a hybrid design that delivers the rough weather and high speed dynamic transverse stability. She also boasts a hydrofoil system, designed by Hyuscraft and installed between the asymmetrical catamaran hull and lifts the hull 400mm at higher speeds, allowing the forward monohull section to run mostly dry and clear of the water with very little wetted area.

5. Wallypower50

Tender, weekender or chase boat, the Wally is a gorgeous, compact mid-range vessel designed for weekending in comfort and style, with modular seating in the cockpit can provide dining for eight, with the possibility of four more on forward-facing bench seats. Installed with twin Volvo IPS650 it drives top speeds of 36 knots, with easy cruising at 30 knots. It is of course deliriously cool, but so is the rest of the Wally fleet. 2025-wally-wallypower50-power Above: The uber-stylish 2025 wallypower50 by Wally blends the best of the wallypower and the iconic wallytender ranges, and can be colour-matched to a superyacht.

6. Azimut Yacht Verve 42

Azimut Verve 42 is the first 42 foot outboard sport cruiser boat, with an eye-catching and striking design. The Michael-Peters deep-V designed hull incorporates twin athwartships steps and a stern tunnel. The result is directional stability and solid tracking while turning at speed. Its atypical layout makes one reconsider why more boats do not feature a raised deck (steps up from the cockpit). Access to the bow seating is easy and safe thanks to the dedicated walkway at cockpit level around the house. The deck and hardtop include carbon fibre and are lightweight. Not only does the Verve brag looks, but it is robust, with CE Classification Type A. Take it on intrepid sea voyages where winds exceed 45 mph and seas can grow to 13 feet and you can cruise with aplomb.

7. Cranchi E26 Classic

By far one of the coolest powerboats in Europe at the moment, the 26-foot Italian mare is a distinct bold styling. A sporty day cruiser is built for external fun, and this is obvious in its full-beam teak-lined cockpit, big sun pad and long full-beam bathing platform. a small central dinette table, and a fold-away bimini when needed. Under one of the seats sits an igloo cool box for those extra refreshments, and a sink is located next to the navigator. Powered by either a stern-driven 300hp Volvo Penta V8 petrol engine or the smaller 280hp Volvo V6 it has a cruising speed of 22 knots (approximately 25 mph) and can reach a maximum speed of about 43.45 knots (approximately 50 mph). 2024-cranchi-e26-classic-power Browse for and used Cranchi yachts for sale.

8. 2025 Cigarette 41 Nighthawk

The ultimate kingpin of high-performance powerboats this center console has oodles of style. The centre console setup means that you have plenty of space to set up for a day of watersports or freshwater-fishing. Key features include an advanced-engineered twin step hull, an all carbon-fibre hardtop and fibreglass superstructure. It is fitted with high-powered engines, allowing for exceptional speed and handling.  Customised with RGB ambient lighting, digital control systems, and high-quality audio systems, this speed machine is ready for action. Optional features include a bow thruster, a windlass anchor, and a dive door. Browse for new and used Cigarette yachts for sale.

9. Pershing 82

While the Pershing 80 was very successful, its replacement, the new 82, takes Pershing’s famous quality and packages it inside considerably sleeker, more sporting lines. Access to the new low-profile upper deck with its secondary helm position is provided by means of a carbon staircase with an automated hatch. Down below, things are equally high-end, with an array of extraordinarily plush Poltrona Frau furniture. And with a pair of 2,435hp MTU 16V M93 engines coupled to Sea Rex surface drives, this elegant 82-footer is capable of an ocean-munching top end of 45 knots and a cruising range in excess of 300 nautical miles. It’s a class act. Pershing 82 Above: The Pershing 82 replaces the successful 80 and features a carbon-fibre staircase. Image via Pershing. Browse for new and used Pershing yachts for sale.

10. Itama 75

Itama is an Italian company dedicated solely to the design and production of fast open boats - and those principles remain intact even on the company’s 75-foot flagship. With a relatively narrow beam and long, raked lines, plus a bow that evokes the endless bonnet of an E-Type Jaguar, it looks even faster than its nominal 42-knot top end. Once you check out that vast open-plan cockpit and the radical modern cleanliness of the below decks accommodation (available either in three or four-cabin configuration), you will discover that few boats in the world can match the Itama 75 for outright desirability. 2023-itama-seventyfive-power Above: Itama seventyfive power running through the open water. Its E-type Jaguaresque looks make it a long-held favourite in the motoryacht segment. Image via YachtWorld/Itama. Browse for new and used Itama yachts for sale.
