Boat Details

Features

Carbon-tech generation

The use of carbon fibre is a construction choice that allows volumes and surfaces to be increased in size while keeping the same weight, therefore maintaining excellent levels of dynamic stability.

Carbon fiber lamination is applied to:

  • deck (hybrid)
  • superstructure
  • rollbar
  • hard top
  • platform/transom

Triple IPS propulsion

Triple Volvo IPS propulsion system installed on hydrodynamic optimized hull shape

  • Superior manoeuverability
  • Minimum noise and viration level
  • Best fuel efficiency (up to 35% reduction compared to shaft line)

Active Trim Control

Interceptor technology provides a smooth, precise Auto mode that automatically takes care of all trim adjustments. It delivers trouble-free handling and a system without corrosion or leaking oil.

Integrated Control Panel

The integrated control system by Garmin has been customised to increase control potential: from engine data and alarms, to bilge and water discharge pumps, tank levels and engine room ventilation, right through to the sound system and the air conditioning units. The system can be accessed from both helm stations and remotely from a tablet.

Joystick driving

Steer your boat at all speeds with the joystick.

  • Comfortable and safe driving
  • Enables ergonomic helm solutions
  • Intuitive and user-friendly interface
  • Perfect response and control

Total privacy for owner and crew

The galley, adjoining the wheelhouse, also contains the crew mess and a stairway that leads directly to the crew quarters on the lower deck. It opens directly onto the side walkway whilst another door separates it from the saloon, creating a layout that offers complete independence for crew and an exceptional level of privacy for the owner and guests.
