Boat reviews in this issue zoom in on the Azimut S6 Coupe; this stunning 60-foot luxury yacht combines sportiness with elegance and Andy Adams gives us his expert perspective. Next, Craig Ritchie reviews BRP’s new ground breaking product, the Sea-Doo Switch, a perfect entry-level watercraft for young families.
