ITALIA 14.98

 A cruiser that has racing DNA. With its low-wetted surface and a SA/D of 29, this racer-cruiser has speed to burn. But keeping it firmly in the cruising department is the expansive interior, with three sleeping cabins and a large saloon that is awash in special features such as a wine cellar and indirect lighting. www.italiayachtsinternational.com

NAJAD 450CC

Swedish tradition gets a boost. Introducing its first model since separating from Arcona Yachts, Najad used owner feedback to redesign its midsize cruiser to feature more interior light and add more storage, including a sail locker. The center-cockpit gives the helmsman great visibility while creating space for a large aft cabin. www.najad.se

OUTREMER 52

It’s a big little sister. Following on the heels of its successful bigger 55-foot sistership, the brand new 52 takes it to the next level. The completely redesigned cruiser features a large saloon that opens up to the fully covered aft deck for indoor-outdoor living. The owner’s suite in the port hull features a large head and queen berth. www.catamaran-outremer.com
