I've seen this phrase several times here in Rec.Boats, and I was
curious to what they are.

I take it , the phrase is mentioned to describe craft with a more
modern "styling?

It has the curved lines of a clorox bottle. It is designed to give the
maximum room to the inside of the cruiser. The real negative to the
design is it can be slick as hell when you are going to the bow to drop
the anchor, or even worse when you are washing the boat.

It is the design of most of todays cruisers.

To me a bubble boat is one that you cannot safely walk on the forward deck
and risk falling and rolling off the boat.
The advantage of the design is it increases the interior space and headroom.

I think it as to do with a style that is designed to maximize cabin size
over seaworthiness or outdoor space. Carver makes some bubble boats
along with others
