The Atlantic's most dangerous six weeks and the Southeast's best cruising weather sit about a month apart. Hurricane activity peaks on September 10, with most of the season's action falling between mid-August and mid-October, and the frontal weather that makes this coast a pleasure to run arrives behind it.

The Tiara 46 LS keeps the cockpit as the main room - sliding glass doors that shut against weather, a mid-cockpit galley and a portside terrace - behind triple Mercury 600 V12s good for 59.0 mph and 336 statute miles at cruise.

The Prestige X70 spends all 17' 6" of its beam on the main deck: no sidedecks, a full-beam saloon and a central galley open to the Infinity Cockpit. Four staterooms, twin Volvo Penta IPS drives and four joystick stations put 71 feet inside an owner-operator's reach.
