Aviara Boats builds premium luxury dayboats that combine the open layout and performance of a sport boat with the styling, technology and amenities normally associated with a compact yacht. Its lineup includes the AV28, AV32, AV36 and flagship AV40, with sterndrive and outboard propulsion available across much of the range and a forward-facing-drive configuration offered on the AV28 for wakesurfing and other watersports. In the market, Aviara sits at the upper end of the dayboat category alongside brands such as Cobalt, Chris-Craft, Formula and Sea Ray’s SLX series, while distinguishing itself through angular European-influenced styling, integrated hardtops, sophisticated digital helms and entertainment-focused layouts. The AV32 was the brand’s original model and remains one of its most recognizable boats, while the AV36 and AV40 appeal to buyers wanting more social space and below-deck accommodations. The AV40 also earned a 2023 Red Dot Product Design Award, recognizing its quality, appearance and innovative features such as hydraulically opening side terraces.
Aviara owners typically use their boats for social day cruising, swimming, sandbar outings, watersports, waterfront dining and entertaining family or friends. The AV28 is well suited to couples and active families who want a manageable luxury boat with optional surf capability, while the AV32 provides a spacious open-bow platform for day trips and gatherings. Owners of the AV36 and AV40 can extend their time aboard with private below-deck cabins, and the AV40 can accommodate overnight guests with a queen berth and convertible sleeping area. Whether operated on the Great Lakes, Florida waterways or other coastal cruising grounds, an Aviara is designed for buyers who want responsive performance and easy day-boating enjoyment without sacrificing upscale finishes, comfort or the atmosphere of a modern sport yacht.
