3 Best Electric Boats of 2025
Electric boats are no longer just a concept. In 2025, they’re faster, cleaner, and more practical than ever. And this year, three models stand out as leaders: the X Shore Eelex 8000, the Candela P-12, and the Sialia 45. Each one brings its own vision of what the next chapter of boating looks like.
Bali’s First International Marina Gets Its Official Name
After months of anticipation, the mystery is finally over. Bali’s upcoming superyacht harbour will officially carry the name Bali Gapura Marina. The word Gapura, meaning “gateway,” couldn’t be more fitting. It reflects the marina’s role as a cultural and maritime entry point, the front door to Indonesia’s seas and timeless heritage. The choice of name is not just a branding decision. It’s a message.
Maryland Boating Fees Rise for the First Time in Four Decades
For the first time since 1983, Maryland is increasing its boating fees. Starting October 1, 2025, boat owners across the state will see higher costs for registrations, titles, and stickers. State officials say the change is long overdue and necessary to keep up with inflation. Officials calculated the new registration fee based on inflation, which would have placed it around $73, but decided to round it down to $70.

How to Set the Right Asking Price and Attract Buyers Fast
Selling a boat is a little like selling a house. You know its value in your heart, but the real challenge is figuring out what it’s worth in the market. Price it too high and buyers scroll past without a second look. Price it too low and you walk away leaving money on the table. That sweet spot in the middle? That’s where the magic happens. Here’s how to find it and make sure buyers don’t just look, but actually line up to buy.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips Every Boat Owner in Asia Pacific Should Know
Boating in Asia Pacific is special. From island-hopping in Thailand, to sailing in the Philippines, to exploring Australia’s coastline, the experiences are unmatched. But the climate here is unique too. Instead of four classic seasons, boat owners often face hot and humid summers, heavy monsoons, and long dry spells. Here are some practical tips to keep your boat in top condition all year round.
The common fears most first-time buyers secretly have
Buying your first boat feels magical, doesn’t it? The idea of weekend getaways, sunrise sails, or simply floating on calm water with a drink in hand, these images pull you in. .. But alongside the excitement, there’s that little voice of doubt. The what ifs. And if you’re a first-time buyer, chances are you’ve felt more than one of these fears. Here are the most common fears that first-time boat buyers carry secretly, and how to face them head-on.
