10 Best Boats of 2024 | Alex Smith picks his favourites | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@Nezzer57]

Out of this list, Targa 41 for me, new modern touches from Targa really help. My own fave would be the Wellcraft 435 though. 2 full bedrooms and 2 full dry bathrooms, triple 350's and even fold down side decks, yes, please. Surprised Sunseeker Ocean is on your list. Lovely inside, but ugly outside, and this is the hill I will die on... Princess has shown how pretty you can make this length of yacht. I say this as a prior Sunseeker owner too. Love their Sportsyacht Series etc, and really hope they sort themselves and their cash flow issues out, they're a key part of British Boatbuilding...

10 interesting picks as you said every boat has it compromises. Plus every owner has their need list. The two that jump out at me are in no particular order Omicron 60 and the Benetau Swift Trawler. I agree with your comments plus they stand out compared to the others. Thanks Alex for your choices.

That T-2000 is just insane.

[@knecting]

Absolutely fantastic video. The music matches each boat style perfectly

[@alexsmith3945]

Thanks. I'll pass that on to the guys in the editing studio.

I love the trawler cruisers. Never thought i would.

[@greathornedowl3644]

Thank you for the review of some amazing boats/yachts. Now if I can win the lottery and buy one

[@conorronan5121]

Targa 41 for me

[@seanogden927]

A great choice Alex, I love all of them and would be happy to own any one of them. Looking forward to 2025 with you.

The Benetetau looks like a personal Ferry boat. Mini queen mary

[@alexsmith3945]

Fair point. But I still want one.

[@YoungLorenzen]

Omikron OT60 is my dream boat 🛥️

I would choose the OT 60 .........like the judges did in Dusseldorf

[@RH-xm5uk]

A nice quick roundup. Pity that the price for the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 is not stated.

[@alexsmith3945]

It comes in at around £1.4M (including taxes).

[@darthkek1953]

LOY Explorer 62 for me. True compact superyacht.

[@mikeburgess8801]

Targa 41 for me. Benneteau in second.

[@hman0007]

Swift trawler 54 and the Targa.

[@johnpayne1340]

Great range of boats, but for a family Trawler 54 ticks the box

[@craiggibson2062]

Beneteau everyday 😊

[@dtutssel]

That first one is just beautiful but the full vid didnt show much of the layout

[@hasantuter3398]

Parkat sorrento 100

[@douger1517]

The Archipelago must have nearly made the list…………

[@alexsmith3945]

I'm a big fan of what Stephen Weatherley is doing at Archipelago Yachts but believe it or not, we tested the 47 back in 2023!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

The Scania hybrid power system in the T2000 or the 60ft Scandinavian Cruiser rigged with a hybrid powersystem and a load of Solar.
