DEBUT: 2027 PRINCESS X90
The new 2027 Princess X90 invites you to experience the waterfront from an entirely different perspective, with a low-level cockpit and folding balconies that transform the aft deck into an inviting beach-club-style retreat. Above, Princess’s signature Super Flybridge pairs an enclosed skylounge with generous outdoor entertaining areas, creating a choice of settings for unhurried lunches, afternoon lounging and cocktails under the stars. Curved patio doors surround the main-deck dining area, keeping the seascape in view and making even an intimate dinner aboard feel like an occasion.
The owner’s suite, positioned forward on the main deck, offers a more private indulgence: expansive views and an optional gullwing door providing direct access to the foredeck terrace—an irresistible setting for that first coffee of the morning. Three or four en suite guest cabins belowdecks provide equally thoughtful accommodation for family and friends. Making its North American debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the X90 deserves more than a passing glance from the dock. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough and explore a yacht whose appeal lies not simply in how much space it offers, but in how beautifully that space can be enjoyed.
DEBUT: 2027 VIKING 70 CONVERTIBLE
When a billfish crashes the spread and the cockpit erupts into action, working room matters, and the new 2027 Viking 70 Convertible brings 194 square feet of it. This second-generation sportfisher pairs a lengthened cockpit with an observation mezzanine, transom livewell and thoughtfully positioned tackle storage, giving anglers and mates a purposeful workspace when the pressure is on. Hull No. 1 packs twin 2,200-metric-horsepower MAN V12X diesels, with Viking anticipating a top speed around 43 knots, an enticing prospect for crews chasing a distant temperature break or making a late-day move before lines-out.
Up top, the redesigned open bridge puts the captain at a center-console helm with three helm chairs and clear sightlines aft, while the four-stateroom, five-head layout, walnut-finished salon and conveniently located dayhead bring welcome comfort to extended offshore trips. Making its world debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the new Viking 70 Convertible deserves a spot on every serious offshore angler’s show itinerary. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough, step into the cockpit, and picture your crew working the next tournament-winning fish.
DEBUT: 2027 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 66
The new 2027 Absolute Navetta 66 brings an unexpected indulgence to the cruising yacht: a sea-level fourth cabin whose sofa converts electrically into a double berth, with direct access to the beach platform—an inviting retreat for quiet mornings beside the water. Above, a glass-bordered cockpit terrace keeps the seascape beautifully in view, while the expansive flybridge combines comfortable lounging, alfresco dining and a fully equipped wet bar, setting the scene for leisurely afternoons at anchor.
Inside, natural woods, panoramic windows and freestanding furnishings give the salon a contemporary residential character, with an electrically adjustable dining table allowing the space to transition gracefully from casual gathering place to elegant dinner setting. A full-beam owner’s suite forward, a generous VIP and a twin guest cabin complement the waterside retreat, creating accommodations that make bringing family and friends along feel like a pleasure rather than a compromise. Making its Fort Lauderdale debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the Navetta 66 deserves an unrushed visit.

DEBUT: 2027 VIKING 64 SPORT COUPE
Don’t let the sleek profile fool you, the new 2027 Viking 64 Sport Coupe carries serious offshore credentials beneath its streamlined styling. Built on the proven 64 Convertible hull, this sportfisher combines a protected command-deck helm with direct cockpit access, keeping the captain connected to the crew when a quiet spread suddenly turns into a multiple hookup. The business end is unmistakably Viking: bait freezers, fish boxes and refrigerated storage support long days offshore, while a deeper observation mezzanine provides a comfortable place to watch the baits and stay ready for the next bite.
Choose a galley-down arrangement with three staterooms or a galley-up layout with four, and there’s room to bring the tournament crew,or give the family a thoroughly civilized weekend between fishing trips. Making its debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the 64 Sport Coupe deserves a close inspection from anglers who want convertible fishing capability in a coupe configuration. Join SI Yachts for a walkthrough, take your place at the helm, and explore a boat that looks just as ready for a canyon departure as an evening at the yacht club.
DEBUT: 2027 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 58
The new 2027 Absolute Navetta 58 treats space, light and privacy as the true luxuries of life afloat, pairing panoramic glazing with a sheltered cockpit whose glass bulwarks keep the water beautifully in view. On the step-free flybridge, a customizable aft terrace, generous seating and a well-equipped wet bar invite leisurely lunches that drift into sunset cocktails, while the main-deck salon offers an equally welcoming retreat with flexible furnishings and uninterrupted floor levels.
The accommodations make an equally persuasive argument for extending the cruise: a full-beam owner’s suite forward features a walk-in wardrobe, complemented by a spacious amidships VIP and a third cabin with twin berths that convert electrically into a double. Twin Volvo Penta D11-IPS950 engines provide the power beneath this thoughtfully arranged Italian yacht, whose second-generation design places as much emphasis on everyday livability as visual appeal. Making its North American debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the new Navetta 58 belongs on the itinerary of anyone dreaming of longer, more comfortable escapes afloat. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough and discover a yacht that makes the next destination feel considerably less urgent.
DEBUT: 2027 VIKING 50 SPORT COUPE
A screaming reel is no time for the skipper to feel a deck removed from the action, and the new 2027 Viking 50 Sport Coupe puts the helm just steps from the cockpit—a layout that should appeal to hands-on anglers who like to stay connected to their crew. Aft, in-deck fish boxes, a raised transom livewell, and freezer and cooler storage beneath the mezzanine seating keep the fishing essentials close at hand, whether you’re tending a live-bait spread or preparing for an overnight canyon trip.
The climate-controlled command deck offers a welcome retreat between bites, with a three-sided enclosure, an optional aft bulkhead, and a raised helm looking through a single-piece windshield. Twin 1,200-metric-horsepower MAN V8 diesels provide the muscle, while two staterooms, a well-equipped galley and walnut cabinetry give the crew considerably more comfort than a bunk beside the tackle bags. Making its world premiere at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the 50 Sport Coupe belongs on the must-see list for anglers who want serious fishing provisions without giving up the comforts of a cruising yacht. Join SI Yachts for a walkthrough and take a closer look at how this new Viking balances both missions.
DEBUT: 2027 PRINCESS C48
The new 2027 Princess C48 gives British yacht craftsmanship a more exhilarating setting: a sleek, open-air dayboat that marks Princess’s first move into outboard power. Beneath its sculpted profile, a Michael Peters-designed stepped hull and optional triple 600-horsepower Mercury V12 Verados promise serious pace, with Princess projecting a top speed of up to 53 knots, an enticing proposition for owners who enjoy the passage as much as the destination. Yet the C48 Open is equally persuasive at rest, where walkaround decks connect sociable foredeck seating with an inviting aft sunpad, while an outdoor galley with an electric grill and refrigeration makes lunch aboard a pleasure rather than an interruption.
Belowdecks, a private aft cabin and a lower salon with a convertible dinette provide welcome overnight comfort, with the option to replace the salon with a second cabin for longer escapes with guests. Making its debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the C48 offers a fresh perspective on the Princess ownership experience. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough and discover a yacht equally suited to an impromptu afternoon on the water or a weekend worth clearing the calendar for.
DEBUT: 2027 PRESTIGE YACHTS M6
The new 2027 Prestige M6 brings the atmosphere of a private coastal retreat to life afloat, pairing the generous proportions of a power catamaran with warm woodwork, rattan accents and a bright, inviting interior that encourages you to settle in rather than simply pass through. Its connected indoor-outdoor living spaces make entertaining feel natural, while a thoughtfully equipped galley and plentiful storage reveal a yacht designed for holidays measured in weeks, not just weekends. The full-beam owner’s suite is particularly persuasive: a comfortable sofa, integrated desk and additional hanging lockers lend this private retreat the practicality and poise of a well-appointed waterfront apartment.
Beneath that residential character, twin Volvo Penta D6 diesels provide the power, while the multihull architecture places spaciousness and stability at the heart of the cruising experience. Making its Fort Lauderdale debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, the M6 deserves a place on the itinerary of anyone considering a more leisurely approach to yacht ownership. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough and discover a yacht that makes a compelling case for packing a little more, staying a little longer and leaving the return date open.
DEBUT: 2027 VALHALLA BOATWORKS V-46 SPORT YACHT
Some yachts are designed around the journey; the new 2027 Valhalla 46 Sport Yacht gives equal attention to the pleasures of arriving. Powered balcony doors expand the cockpit at anchor, while a U-shaped lounge, wrap-around bow seating and a sunpad create inviting settings for leisurely lunches and afternoons spent just above the water. Owners can choose an open pilothouse for uninterrupted outdoor living or an enclosed configuration with climate-controlled comfort, powered side doors and a summer kitchen with a retractable window connecting the pilothouse and cockpit, a particularly appealing arrangement for entertaining.
Belowdecks, a forward master stateroom with a queen berth, twin guest berths aft and a well-appointed galley make a persuasive case for extending the itinerary beyond sunset. Available with triple or quad Mercury V12 Verado outboards, the 46 Sport Yacht brings substantial power to a design that places equal emphasis on relaxation and time together. Making its debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, this new Valhalla deserves a closer look from owners seeking more than a conventional dayboat. Join SI Yachts for a personal walkthrough and discover a sport yacht that invites you to leave the dock with plans, and return whenever you please.
