A Celebration of the Sea: The 2025 Boating Season

For some, the countdown to casting off has already begun. For others, the sailing life is a constant, even when ashore. This special edition is dedicated to all sea lovers, whether they command a 46-foot yacht or simply dream of the horizon at a boat show. Whether you’re an occasional sailor, a cruising enthusiast, a hull aficionado, or simply a dreamer on the dock, the 2025 season promises to be a great year for boating.

This year is marked by a wave of renewal across the board: in product lines, in practices, in ports, and even in mindsets. Major boat builders are making remarkable technological leaps, transitioning towards more responsible, connected, and human-centered boating. Lines are evolving, materials are changing, and behind every modern hull, there’s a shared desire: to sail better, farther, and more freely.

This issue celebrates this dynamic of innovation while staying true to the essence of our passion: the emotion of the open sea. You’ll discover versatile and comfortable boats, as well as more unexpected vessels, bold reinventions, and discoveries like the river boat that might just make you trade sea spray for riverbanks. You’ll also encounter the stories of women involved in offshore racing, and the perspective of photographer Greg Lecoeur, for whom the image is a poetic weapon in the service of ocean conservation.

But this special edition wouldn’t be complete without the call of the open sea, the real one. The one that resonates in the translucent waters of the Islands, where sailing becomes discovery, encounter, and respect for life. The one that encourages you to drop anchor, at the heart of a Yacht Club, both a prestigious institution and a laboratory of ideas for the future of boating. The one that takes us, for a stopover, to distant lands, new-generation marinas, and catamaran management programs that are as clever as they are tempting.

What if the adventure started here, in these pages? Because sailing today is no longer just about reaching a destination, it’s about charting your own course, between tradition and modernity, between exploration and introspection. And no matter the boat, as long as you have the thrill of departure.

Fair winds, beautiful discoveries, and may this new Collection 2025 inspire you with more than just a desire to leave: the desire to live the sea to the fullest.

The Collection 2025 special edition is available to read online all summer long!
