14 Great Pocket Cruisers in 2023

• By Victor Tan
• Updated: July 20, 2023

Pocket cruisers and mini yachts are generally vessels under 50 feet in length overall, and can include express cruiser designs, flybridge yachts as well as either monohull or catamaran hull forms. They are cruising boats easily handled by a small, or even shorthanded, crew. Pocket cruisers generally have wave-taming hull designs and have the ability to take on sporty seas, offer comfortable accommodations belowdecks with one or two staterooms for extended voyages, “homelike amenities,” and the ability to cruise as slowly or as quickly as an owner desires with inboard- and outboard-power options. These pocket-cruising boats have the range for longer voyages , can pull up in skinny water at the sandbar thanks to shallow drafts, and head over the horizon where cruising adventure awaits. Pocket cruisers are true multitasking yachts. When it comes to family and couples cruising, it’s hard to beat a well-built and well-equipped and pocket cruiser.

Best Cruising Boats Under 50-Feet

The following 14 pocket cruisers and mini yachts are all vessels we’ve seen, been aboard, and tested. They are listed in no particular order.

• Hood 35 LM: high-tech, family-friendly pocket cruiser
• Galeon Yachts 375 GTO: mid-size boat with plenty of below-deck space
• Aquila 42: sleek power catamaran ready to entertain
• Azimut Verve 42 : small, yet mighty yacht ready for open water
• Hinckley Yachts 35: luxury picnic cruiser with range
• Beneteau Gran Turismo 45: sleek cruising yacht with all the amenities
• Solaris Power 48 Open: eye-catching power yacht with 360-degree views
• Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS: luxury cruiser yacht with powerful outboard options
• Back Cove 34O: modern outboard power combined with classic Downeast styling
• Picnic Boat 40: speedy and fuel-efficient vessel with great looks
• Aquila 36: comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt
• Boston Whaler 350 Realm: multitasker built for fishing and entertaining
• MJM 35z: sporty, aesthetically pleasing, cruising-conscious features and elegant lines
• Greenline 39: sturdy-looking lines and environmentally-friendly power

When Android co-founder, Rich Miner, wanted a new family-friendly pocket cruiser , he turned to a custom-penned C.W. Hood design and a Lyman-Morse-built 35-footer, which has a timeless Down East profile matched to seriously modern technology under the hood.

This yacht looks like a traditional, cold-molded Down East dayboat, but actually, it has everything, from Hamilton HJX Series water-jet drives to a planned Sea Machines autonomous command-and-control system . Top speed: 40-plus knots.

Quick Specifications

Galeon Yachts 375 GTO

Even the remnants of Hurricane Ian, couldn’t dissuade the Galeon Yacht 375 GTO from its cruising mission. The small yacht’s wave-splitting hull form is paired to torque-filled 600 hp Mercury Verado outboards , giving this fun-in-the-sun boat a 47-knot top hop.

The 375 GTO is a speedster, to be sure, but it’s also so much more. Just about every aspect of the main deck seating is transformable and multifunction, from the aft seating to the alfresco dining abaft the helm, and beyond. It also has a family-size and eminently cruise-worthy belowdecks space for four guests, all while providing a foredeck entertaining lounge too.

The Galeon Yachts 375 GTO ticks all the boxes for an easy-to-handle and sporty cruiser.

Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran

Following the success of its 44-, 54- and 70-foot power catamaran models, Aquila has launched the stable-as-a-table, owner-operator-ready Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran .

The Aquila 42 is the entry point into the builder’s yacht line and is noteworthy for its ability to accommodate anywhere from a two- to four-stateroom layout, depending on the owner’s cruising requirements. There are alfresco spaces to manage the sunset cruise with friends and family, including a foredeck lounge area that can be accessed via centerline steps from the flybridge. The Aquila 42 is available with several Volvo Penta diesel-engine options .

Azimut Verve 42

Want to cruise from Florida to Bimini in about an hour? The Azimut Yachts Verve 42 can do that thanks, in part, to triple 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards and a hull designed to dice-and-slice a seaway. Top hop: 45 knots. The Verve 42 also has style for miles with a fine entry, raked hardtop, and a razorlike sheerline accented by sweeping hull glass from bow to stern. It’s striking.

With accommodation for a family of four, the Verve 42 is also solid under the hull tokeep everyone safe on those passages. The Verve 42’s hull is built of fiberglass and uses vinylester resins for blister protection. The yacht’s deck and hardtop are comprised of carbon fiber for strength without added weight. This all means that the Azimut Verve 42 is built to CE Classification Type A , making it suitable for sea voyages where winds can exceed 45 mph and seas to 13 feet.

Hinckley Yachts 35

The Hinckley Yachts 35 takes everything that yachtsmen like about this pedigreed-brand’s classic profile and infuses today’s modern outboard power to create 40 knots of sheer fun wrapped in sheer luxury.

This 35-foot Hinckley is built on a Michael-Peters-penned hull form with a fine entry, wider-than-average chines and a moderate deadrise. While the boat is built to sprint when desired, it’s also a relatively economical cruiser. For instance, a comfortable 24-knot cruise the Hinckley Yachts 35 has a 276-nautical-mile range.

It also has a tech-build thanks to vacuum-infused carbon-fiber composites and epoxy resin. An integrated interior structure is infused with the hull adding rigidity. The hull is then post-cured in an 80-foot oven, further strengthening the structure.

Beneteau Gran Turismo 45

The Beneteau Gran Turismo is the flagship of the builder’s four-model GT series, which also includes 32-, 36- and 41-foot models.

The Gran Turismo 45 ’s cruise-centric layout includes two staterooms and two heads belowdecks, as well as a galley down. There is also a dinette for meals and a settee for rainy-day lounging. Entertaining guests and enjoying the sun is the primary mission of the main deck.

Solaris Power 48 Open

The Solaris Power 48 Open was the first powerboat from this longtime builder known for its sailing yachts, ranging from 40 to 110 feet length overall. The Solaris Power 48 Open is notable for its wave-slicing plumb-bow design, high freeboard forward and 32-knot-plus speed. Power is twin 480 hp Volvo Penta IPS650 diesels.

The high freeboard keeps the deck dry and help creates sizable volume belowdecks with an average 6-foot-6-inch headroom. This enables real estate for either one or two staterooms. With the single-stateroom setup, there is a forepeak master stateroom while an L-shaped settee converts to sleeping accommodations for family or occasional guests. Interior wood options are oak or walnut.

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS

Outboard-power cruising aficionados will appreciate the triple-engine options for the Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS . The 42 GLS we got aboard had the triple 400 hp Mercury Verados , which produced a top hop of 45 knots, but triple 450 hp Verados are available. Triple 350 hp Mercury Verados are the standard engine option. No matter the power arrangement, this express cruiser can easily be used for wakeboarding and tube towing. The 42 GLS is designed to handle the rough stuff too, with a fine entry and 21-degree transom deadrise.

For cruising enthusiasts, the 42 GLS has a master stateroom with an athwartships and a nearly queen-size berth, and the lower salon’s U-shaped dinette converts to a queen-size berth for the kids.

Back Cove 34O

Combining modern outboard power with classic Downeast styling, the Back Cove 34O touts award-winning standards with cruising in mind. The 34O is equipped with twin 300 hp Yamaha outboards, engines that allow the Newport International Boat Show’s 2018 Best Powerboat Under 35 Feet winner to travel up to 214 nautical miles at 24 knots on a 250-gallon fuel tank.

Belowdecks, the 34O has an island double berth and a split-head arrangement with the toilet to port and a separate shower stall to starboard. On the main deck, a U-shape dinette to port accommodates four or more guests on the Back Cove Yachts vessel. The 34O’s galley is equipped with a Cuisinart microwave, a two-burner Kenyon electric cooktop and a Vitrifrigo fridge and freezer.

Picnic Boat 40

Hinckley Yachts unveiled its first Picnic Boat more than two decades ago. Now, after two previous, sub-40-foot models, the Maine-based boatbuilder has developed its largest and most advanced model to date: the Picnic Boat 40.

Twin 480 hp Cummins diesel engines paired to twin Hamilton 322 jet drives propel the yacht to a 30-knot cruising speed and 34 knots on the pins. With optional twin 550 hp Cummins diesels, cruise and top-end speeds jump to 35 and 38 knots, respectively.

There is an L-shaped settee with a table and a wet bar on the main deck to port. The helm station is forward and to starboard with a benchseat for two. There is also a companion seat across from the helm. Belowdecks, there is 6-foot-2-inch headroom, and the dinette table drops to form a California-king berth for overnights and weekending.

Aquila Power Catamarans started its line with 44- and 48-footers, and now the builder’s Aquila 36 takes the line into the midsize market.

The 36 features a single, main-living area from bow to stern, helped in part by the vessel’s 14-foot, 7-inch beam. The boat can comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt. Several Mercury Verado engine options are available for the Aquila 36, including twin 250-, 300- and 350-hp four-strokes. With the 350s, the Aquila has a top-end speed of 37 knots.

Other notable features include a fiberglass hardtop, a dinette, a cooktop, a fridge, a sink and a smokeless grill. Belowdecks, there are two staterooms with nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads and 6-foot-6-inch headroom in each.

Boston Whaler 350 Realm

From fishing and entertaining guests to diving and overnight cruising, Boston Whaler ‘s 350 Realm is a multitasker. And it’s fast, too. It’s powered with either triple 300 hp or triple 350 hp Mercury Verados. The 350 Realm can reach a top speed of 46 knots.

At the helm, two Raymarine displays provide vital navigation data. The captain can take in the displays’ view from a doublewide helm seat. There’s a flip-down platform for standing when needed and a footrest when desired.

There is a V-shaped berth that converts into a double berth with a filler cushion. The separated head has a VacuFlush MSD and a hot-and-cold shower. Owners also have the option to add a microwave and a flat-screen TV.

The MJM 35z can reach a top speed of 44 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots on its optional 350 hp Mercury Verado outboards; twin 300 hp outboards are standard on this MJM Yachts vessel. Additionally, the 35z can travel up to 304 nautical miles on its 250-gallon fuel tank.

The 35z has a flush-deck layout and to port is space for an electric grill, a baitwell, a sink, an ice maker and a fridge. There are two Stidd helm seats—one for the helmsman and the other for a copilot—that rotate to face the rest of the seating aft. In the cabin is V-shaped seating forward that can be converted to a berth.

Owners also have the option of adding a Seakeeper 3 gyrostabilizer and a full-length Bimini top to shade the cockpit.

Greenline 39

Greenline Yachts ‘ vessels are aptly named for their environmentally friendly means of moving about; the Greenline 39 is no different. The Slovenian yacht manufacturer produces two types of this model: hybrid and solar.

If owners opt for the latter, the 39’s four solar panels atop the salon power all of the vessel’s systems for three hours. With the power of the sun, the 39 can achieve a max speed of 6.5 knots and a cruising speed of 4 knots. The hybrid type uses those same panels to help power a 220 hp Volvo Penta D3 with a Mahle electric-drive system. Owners have the option of replacing the standard engine with a 370 hp Yanmar 8LV diesel.

Belowdecks, scissor berths provide accommodations for long weekends.

The Smart Guide to Buying a Mini Speed Boat

Mini speed boats are the perfect blend of excitement and compact size. If you're considering buying one, it's essential to understand the key factors that should influence your decision. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know when it comes to purchasing a mini speed boat.

What is a Mini Speed Boat?

Mini speed boats are compact, high-performance boats that are designed for exhilarating rides and quick trips. They're typically under 20 feet in length and can reach impressive speeds on the water. With a sleek design and lightweight build, these boats are perfect for thrill-seekers who want an exciting boating experience without the size and expense of a larger vessel.

Performance and Design

Speed and maneuverability.

One of the main reasons people choose mini speed boats is their performance capabilities. These boats can reach top speeds of 50 to 75 mph, depending on the model and engine size. They're also incredibly agile, allowing for tight turns and responsive handling.

Hull Design

The hull design plays a crucial role in the performance of a mini speed boat. Look for a boat with a deep-V hull, which helps provide stability and smooth handling in rough water conditions. A well-designed hull will ensure a comfortable and thrilling ride, even at high speeds.

Cost and Maintenance

Purchase price.

When considering a mini speed boat, be prepared for a range of prices. New boats can start at around $15,000 and go up to $50,000 or more, depending on the brand, size, and features. Used mini speed boats can be more affordable, but it's essential to carefully inspect any used boat before purchasing.

Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance costs for mini speed boats can vary greatly, depending on the model and how often you use the boat. Regular upkeep, such as cleaning and engine maintenance, is essential to keep your boat running smoothly. Repairs can be expensive, so it's a good idea to set aside a budget for any unexpected issues.

Selecting the Right Engine

Horsepower and speed.

The engine is the heart of your mini speed boat, and it determines how fast and powerful your vessel will be. Engines can range from 50 to over 300 horsepower, so consider your speed and performance preferences when selecting an engine.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency is an important consideration, as fuel costs can add up quickly with frequent boating. Look for an engine that offers a good balance of power and fuel efficiency to help minimize expenses over time.

Safety and Insurance

Safety equipment.

When purchasing a mini speed boat, ensure it comes with essential safety equipment, such as life jackets, fire extinguishers, and navigation lights. It's also important to familiarize yourself with safety guidelines and proper boating practices to ensure a safe experience for all passengers.

Boat insurance is a necessary expense for any boat owner. Mini speed boats can be more prone to accidents due to their high speeds, so it's important to have adequate coverage. Shop around for the best insurance rates and make sure your policy covers any specific risks associated with mini speed boats.

Test Driving and Inspections

Test driving.

Before purchasing a mini speed boat, it's essential to take it for a test drive. This will allow you to get a feel for the boat's handling, speed, and overall performance. Pay attention to how the boat responds to your commands and how comfortable you feel while operating it.

Inspections

For both new and used mini speed boats, a thorough inspection is crucial. Check the hull for signs of damage or wear, inspect the engine for leaks or corrosion, and verify that all electronics are functioning properly. For used boats, it's also a good idea to hire a professional marine surveyor to conduct a detailed inspection.

A mini speed boat can provide hours of excitement and adventure on the water. By considering factors such as performance, cost, and safety, you can find the perfect boat to suit your needs. Remember to test drive and inspect any potential purchase to ensure you're getting a high-quality, reliable vessel that will serve you well for years to come.

Agility and Maneuverability : Mini speed boats are incredibly agile and can navigate tight spaces with ease. Their compact size allows for quick turns and precise handling, making them perfect for exploring narrow rivers or crowded marinas.

Portability : One of the biggest advantages of a 1 person mini speed boat is its portability. Unlike larger boats, these compact vessels can be easily transported on a trailer or even on the roof of your car. You can take your mini speed boat on vacation or explore different bodies of water without the need for a dedicated docking space.

While a 1 person mini speed boat offers many advantages, it’s important to consider the drawbacks as well:

Limited Seating : As the name suggests, a 1 person mini speed boat is designed for solo riders. If you enjoy boating with friends or family, a larger vessel may be more suitable.

Smaller Storage Capacity : Due to their compact size, mini speed boats have limited storage capacity. If you plan on carrying a lot of gear or equipment, you may need to consider alternative storage options.

Less Stability : Mini speed boats are built for speed and maneuverability, which means they may sacrifice some stability. While they can handle rough waters, they may not provide the same level of stability as larger boats.

Additional Components Required : Most 1 person mini speed boats come as bare-bones kits, requiring additional components such as the jet motor, steering wheel, wiring, and lighting. These components can add to the overall cost of the boat.

The cost of a 1 person mini speed boat can vary depending on the brand, features, and additional components. While the bare-bones kit is typically priced around $500, it’s important to note that you will need to invest in additional components to make the boat fully functional. These additional components, including the jet motor, steering wheel, wiring, and lighting, can cost thousands of dollars.

When considering the cost of a 1 person mini speed boat, it’s essential to factor in not only the initial purchase price but also the ongoing maintenance and operating costs. These may include fuel, storage fees (if applicable), insurance, and any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Fusion X Marine starts production on its first mini speedboat

Fusion X Marine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Lighting Group, has begun manufacturing its 15-ft mini speedboat . The company’s initial plans are to provide a top-notch powerboat to rental sites both domestically and internationally.

These new boats have been developed as a safer and more appealing alternative to the ever-popular Jet Ski. With a length of 15 feet and a width of 5.6 feet, the Fusion X Marine’s new X-15 mini speedboat weighs 660 lb (299 kg) and can sit up to three adults. The 15-ft boat is powered by a 30 H.P. motor, although it can be swapped for an even more powerful 50 H.P. motor for even greater thrills.

Fusion X Marine joins its sister companies in introducing 100% molded fiberglass products to fast-growing markets where product quality matters. The new mini speedboat is also built from 100% molded fiberglass for the recreational boating industry. Its standard features include color-coordinated marine vinyl interior, matching heavy duty rub rail, marine carpeting, stainless steel hardware, an offshore battery box.

The F Series from St Martin Powerboats

By Paul Joseph

For the price of a personal watercraft, fun-seeking aqua-enthusiasts can now indulge their passion for performance and still remain dry.

St Martin Powerboats of Ohio USA manufactures the "F" Series line of Mini Speed boats. Ranging in size from a very compact 11' to 15' in length, these outboard powered boats mirror styling reminiscent of a traditional Cigarette or Scarab vessel.

With speeds of up to 60mph, the boats may be small but their performance is not. The unique “V” hull styling is not just for looks, with each hand-made mini speed boat ocean capable so owners can enjoy a day on the water even in choppy environments.

In recent times, Mini Speedboat rental sites have been appearing in popular spots, with rave reviews from novice and veteran boaters alike. As an alternative to Personal Watercrafts, these boats offer several advantages, such as keeping the renter dry, allowing one to cruise beside a companion and less maintenance.

For fans of Harley-Davidsons, St Martin Powerboats has created the world’s first boat powered by a Harley-Davidson Crate Motor. This patented technology allows an off the shelf Harley-Davidson motor to be used in a marine environment.

The first 50 limited edition F-15 boats powered by Harley-Davidson are scheduled to be available in 2012.

This Tiny Speed Boat Fits Just One Person, and Looks Incredibly Fun

By Ryan on 10/13/2022 9:46 AM

This micro jet-powered boat may seem like a toy when it’s boxed up, but it is an actual beast with 100 horsepower and weighs around 100 lbs, depending on what type of hardware you put inside of it.

You can have all kinds of fun with this tiny one person jet boat, as this product is designed mainly for it. It's tiny size allows you to make the sharpest turns without any problem. 

Perfect for use in lakes, rivers, and even the ocean, this tiny jet boat measures 6 feet long x 3 feet wide!

On top of that, it won’t take as much parking space as a regular boat would. You can literally store this tiny boat on a shelf or garage storage rack, and it's about half the size of a jet-ski!

Another thing we love about this product is its micro seat that can keep you comfortable for short trips. Despite being a micro boat, it can still fit an average-sized adult.

If the default seat doesn’t satisfy you, you can still choose to give it an upgrade. being a kit boat, you have more than enough freedom to modify it to your liking..

The micro jet boat kit comes basically bare-bones, so you'll still need to add in everything to the boat to make it go, including the jet motor itself, the steering wheel, wiring, lighting, etc...

This kit by JetStream Adventure Boats is definitely an excellent grab. It’s one of a kind, and it sure looks fun to build. Not only that, but it’s also made with high-quality materials that can surely prolong its service life. 

You can snag the micro jet boat kit from their website for around $500 bucks! Though, this is just the bare-bones kit, and you'll need to add everything into the boat for it into function.

The tiny one person jet boat kit will likely cost you many thousands of dollars more on top of the kit!

Low-cost one-seater mini electric jet boat puts big thrills in a tiny package

There’s something oddly endearing about miniature-sized vehicles that can still carry adults. It’s true with electric micro-cars , and apparently, it’s true with micro-boats as well. But don’t take my word for it. You can be the judge with this fun-looking mini electric jet boat!

This little vessel is a perfect candidate for this week’s Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week .

It looks awesome. It’s definitely weird. And you can buy it directly from China. It literally ticks all of the boxes!

It’s rare that you can touch both the bow and stern of your boat at the same time and live to tell about it, but that’s just one perk of such a small vessel like the one we’re checking out today.

This mini electric jet boat is just 1.8 meters (5 feet 11 inches) long, yet it packs in enough power to hit speeds of up to 48 km/h (30 mph).

That’s thanks to a 15 kW (20 hp) electric motor that uses a jetski-like water jet drive. That’s a lot of power in a tiny package, so the motor includes water cooling to ensure that it can run continuously at high speeds.

The motor is mounted in a 35-kilogram (77-pound) hull formed out of ABS plastic.

A removable lithium battery powers the unit and weighs 22 kilograms (48.5 pounds), or nearly as much as the boat itself.

The 3.88 kWh battery pack only lasts 30-50 minutes at peak power, though lower power run time is likely much longer. The battery is also rated for 800 charge cycles, so it should be there for the long haul.

There seems to be a battery compartment just aft of the cockpit, and I’m guessing there’s not much extra room in there for storing much else. I wouldn’t recommend keeping a life jacket in there anyway; you should probably already be wearing it.

There’s no rudder on this mini-boat. Instead, it uses directional thrust from the jet nozzle for quick steering.

There’s something of a swim platform on the fan tail deck, but at around 15 cm (6 inches) wide, in practice, it’s more of a step than anything else.

A pair of stainless steel cleats adorn either side of the bow, and frankly, they look like the nicest pieces of hardware on this boat.

There’s so much to love about this thing. In fact, there’s so much to love about just the image above.

The aesthetic choices for the boat’s colorway are brave, and I love it. The alphabet soup on the side seems to have had some sort of direction or intent, at least originally, before being lost in the application stage. Was it once meant to say “NO RACE”? Or perhaps “RACE ON”?

The “Young ree urfing” seems to tell another story, maybe related to the dangling “S” on the side. But then, what were the rest of the letters meant for? It’s like someone let their toddler play with the refrigerator magnet poem set for too long. What is going on here, people?!

Then there’s my guy wearing that two-hole ski mask like he’s going to knock off a bank on the way home.

Top comment by Anon

I love it how the letters on the side try to say “RACE” but the layout makes me read “NARC” which is probably a market segment for light and quiet mini boats 😶

This is the mini electric jet boat that keeps on giving! And boy, does it give… just look at how fast these things can fly in the video below!

I’ve saved the best part for last: the price. This little slip costs a mere US $10,000 , with shipping from China dubiously listed as another $263 when using “Seller’s Shipping Method 1.” I think there’s a nonzero chance that means the seller’s cousin knows a guy with a truck.

As usual with these Alibaba finds, though, I don’t recommend anyone actually go through with this. Most of my fun and weird Alibaba purchases ended up costing around four times the advertised price after I paid ocean freight, customs charges, broker fees, arrival charges, warehousing, and local trucking, among other surprise charges.

In the meantime, there are plenty of other low-cost electric boats out there for at or under $10,000. Unfortunately, none are quite as cool as this one, but that’s just the way it goes. China gets all the fun things. I guess that’s what happens when you lead the world in EV development and don’t have to play by the rules of conventional boat design.
