CRUISE CONTROL Of course, if you want the ultimate in watercraft status and refinement, you can always get into the true upper class: cruisers and yachts. Here, sizes range anywhere from 28 to 65 feet. In the sport cruiser division, Pride Marina recommends the versatility of the SeaRay Sundancer. But when you’re talking serious luxury, why not splurge on one of SeaRay’s top-of-the-line L-class yachts? Here, you’re given 52 to 65 feet of fully customizable magnificence, with an assortment of deluxe finishes and tons of storage space. Under the deck nestle two to three bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom complete with shower. Up top, there’s second-storey flydeck steering, main-level joystick docking controls, and plenty of loungers and seats, plus an amazing sound system. You could live on these boats – many people do. They’re certainly ideal for overnights and weekending on any one of the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence Seaway. Even better would be weeks or months away at a time, since for all intents and purposes, they’re the closest thing you can find to a travelling cottage.
