We have no previous experience of building boats. The factory is in our second choice country. We have made some very strange design decisions (e.g. sun-bathers on the aft cabin roof effectively imprison anybody inside the aft cabin). The small day boat market is not over-run with choice at every level. Your guests' highest priority when getting drunk on your party boat with multiple fridges and drinks coolers (but no cooking facilities) is the quality of the battery cut-off switches (but bare GRP in all lockers is apparently perfectly acceptable). For all this, you must pay the price !

It looks superb as a speed machine, but given the price there’s numerous other boats I’d spend my money on before this. Grand tour though Alex, thanks.

Well, that price sure is 'sterk'!

thats not an aft cabin, that would feel more like a coffin

@TheLoxxxton 11 ай бұрын

You beat me to it! Rather sleep in the head than the horrible box at the back.😅

@islandiron 11 ай бұрын

So instead of calling it an aft cabin, they should call it an aft coffin.

Was actually terrified lol

@terrywalker1624 11 ай бұрын

Wow, that is expensive for a boat where you sleep in a storage void. Axopar wins hands down. Thanks for the tour though!

Can we have more/clearer stats please?

I feel as if that's just too impractical. There's fast, then there's suicidally fast. I wouldn't want to die en route to an afternoon picnic in the bow, or for the sake of using the aft sun pads someplace else on the water. That said, competition drives innovation, so keep 'em coming. :)

For that price I hope they don’t keep the poppers under the cushions. They should be cantilevered. Great review though

That is some Grady White pricing there. Or Boston Whaler. Nah. So many other options out there that are more put together and better day boats. With the economy being what it is, you can't ask for that type of price without being an established brand. Axopar came out with a revolutionary design and had bold ideas. Thus people paid over sticker for the boat and still do. Same thing with Pardo. Now that Lekker is coming on the scene and going to be coming out with a full aluminum day boat that is completely customizable, for under 350k, I think people will to,for that instead. Or I hope they will.

I need more sunshade

@matthewmartin1970 11 ай бұрын

So if you need to pee in the night you have to push open the coffin lid and walk to the bow. Best hope it's not raining and all for the teeny tiny price of nearly 400k I don't think so.

@simonsandvik7367 11 ай бұрын

Or you get a 1095 for half the price?

@TheUrbanEpicure 11 ай бұрын

Wow, a video shot eight months ago - breaking news, this 🙄

@Ian-gf8id 10 ай бұрын

So, it's a blatant copy of Axopar, with a double coffin ("cabin" is the last word I'd use for that space), and the price is astronomical relative to what you get for the money. There are many other, far better value, boats in that market.

@runewinsevik8471 3 ай бұрын

Rather have an Axopar, to be honest.Much more practical.

@scottstewart5784 11 ай бұрын

unsat - no relaxation spot. need a break? can or coffin are your choices. and I don't need or want to go 80 MPH thank you. the kids will get tired and hot, and will end up in the coffin with the lid open and a blanket covering the opening. weird choices made. not family friendly. give me an axopar at 40 mph with gull doors, a kinda-kitchen, and the aft cabin. I'll entertain the grand kids and pay for some college with the big savings.

80 Knot with two 300rds on a 10 meter? I don‘t think so. Axopar-Killer at this price? I don‘t think so either. Take a look at Saxdor… much more versatile, better t-top, better layout, terraces, seats much more guests for 2/3 of the price. This boat fails the market

@davidwhitton9050 11 ай бұрын

He did say 450's as a option for that speed still seems optimistic and even more expensive.

@islandbalboa 11 ай бұрын

I don’t find his reviews to be credible. He claims that it is a quality build, yet all the storage lockers are just openings to the bilge or completely unfinished. The aft cabin is a joke and he mistook the fuel filters for oil filters.
