The Azimut Atlantis 34 is the benchmark Mediterranean day boat — Italian build quality, a 31-knot capable hull, and a cockpit designed for the good life in 35°C heat. We review it from the helm, in real Med conditions, with real owner feedback.
The Fiart 44 Genius is a 13.86-metre Italian sports cruiser built for the Mediterranean — deep-V hull, convertible cockpit, twin Volvo Penta IPS pods and three proper cabins. The Nautiful team reviews her from the helm, across real Med miles, in the conditions that count.
The Cranchi E26 Rider is an eight-metre Italian bowrider capable of over 40 knots, with a turning circle of 20 metres and bilateral stern platforms built for Mediterranean marina life. The Nautiful Team puts it through its paces in real summer Med conditions — chop, heat, harbour approaches and all.
We put the Axopar 37 XC through its paces on the Ligurian, Adriatic, and Aegean — stern-to in Bonifacio, anchored off Hvar, and crossing at 30 knots in a Meltemi chop. Here is the honest verdict for the skipper at the helm.
The Absolute 47 Hardtop is the most Mediterranean-logical flybridge at its price point — 300 nm range, IPS joystick docking, and a fixed hardtop that actually works in 35°C heat. The Nautiful Team puts it through its paces from Liguria to the Lérins.

The Raymarine Axiom 2 Pro and Garmin GPSMAP 1243xsv go head-to-head in a full 2026 comparison built for Med motor boaters. We test display performance, rough-water controls, chart flexibility and system integration — from the helm, not the chandlery.
The Fjord 41 XL and XP share the same award-winning hull — but they answer very different questions about how you cruise the Med. We break down the diesel vs outboard decision from the helm, with real specs, real prices, and real Mediterranean conditions.
