Effortless Versatility
Equally suited to relaxed family cruising, fishing trips, or weekend escapes—few boats in this class offer such a well-rounded experience.

A proven, sea-kindly hull paired with a secure walkaround layout inspires confidence in a wide range of conditions.

All-Weather Comfort
The enclosed wheelhouse, excellent visibility, and optional heating make her ideal for extended use throughout the UK boating season.

Smart Use of Space
Two separate cabins, a convertible saloon, and a proper heads compartment deliver genuine overnight capability in a sub-9m cruiser.

Seamless Indoor–Outdoor Living
Sliding doors and an open cockpit create a natural flow between social spaces—perfect for entertaining or family time.

Ease of Handling
Responsive Yamaha 300HP engine and features like a Bow and Stern thruster make close-quarters manoeuvring straightforward, even for short-handed crews.
