The new issue of Motorboats 15 is now available, also in digital version (click here to see it) with full-english text! How’s the boating industry going now that we get closer to the end of the summer season? In this issue, we take a look also at the “extra-Mediterranean” market. The result? An overview of boats from all over the world. We’ve seen some breathtaking returns like the boat on the cover, the Mia Franchini 63, but also the American way to yachting. On of the highlight is the exclusive interview with one of the men who are revolutionizing the boating industry in recent years: Jan-Erik Viitala, co-founder of Axopar. And then dive into the past: this year Motorboats has turned 30 years old. What were the highlights?
