Designed with both cruising families and serious boaters in mind, this model offers a balance of practicality, safety, and performance in a sub-9 metre platform.
Reasons to love her:
Effortless Versatility
Equally suited to relaxed family cruising, fishing trips, or weekend escapes—few boats in this class offer such a well-rounded experience.
Confidence at Sea
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.
This particular example has been meticulously maintained presenting in excellent condition throughout.
