Luxury and Innovation Afloat
One of the most buzzworthy attractions at the show was "Bold", a 279-foot superyacht designed by SilverYachts. Dubbed the "Queen of the 2025 Show," this megayacht blends spacious loft-style design with cutting-edge amenities, including Jet Skis, kiteboards, paddleboards, and kayaks—a floating paradise for adventure seekers.

In addition to luxury vessels, the show highlighted technological advancements in the boating world. Yamaha unveiled a handheld remote controller for their Helm Master EX system, allowing captains to control their boats from anywhere on board. The wireless remote, launching in Fall 2025, enhances safety by integrating features such as man-overboard detection. (The Verge)
Parallels in the RV Industry

Manufacturers are redesigning RVs with expansive living areas, reinforced chassis and suspension systems, and smart technology integration.
