James Bond would be jealous - this month we've been out in three great getaway boats, the XO 240 RS, Sealegs amphibious RIB and Goldfish 23. We put them through a series of challenges to find out which deserved the title of ultimate sportsboat. Our big boat test this month features the Beneteau Flyer GT49 Fly, a lot of very cool boat for the money. Elsewhere we get on board the Galeon 780 Crystal find out how to spend 48 hours around Portsmouth Harbour. We also take a closer look at Marseille and its surrounds and learn how to navigate when the fog descends

A very nice boat. But at a price well in excess of £240,000, for a suitably specified craft, this seems rather expensive to me. It wasn't too long ago that you could secure a basic '42' for this kind of money.
