The SeaPiper 37 (2024) | Exclusive Interview with BoatTEST

[@SeaSerg]

I have been following this company for a long time and I am pleased to see how its truly outstanding boat is gaining more and more popularity, and the company itself is turning from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. I am sincerely glad about your success and the return of production to its historical homeland. I wish you further success and expansion of your model range!

[@akhillz]

i love that design

[@cigarmann]

I'm so happy to see this review this boat has been on my radar for some time

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for watching!

[@soulfirexit351]

Beautiful!

[@gregorykennedy6869]

That centre cockpit would be ideal to have a quick release frame set-up so it can be totally covered over with a canvas cover and roll up see through plastic windows for inclement weather.

[@hectorrios5402]

This is going to be an awesome boat for the grate loop. 🎉🎉❤

[@bud1412]

It would be nice if you would give a price range!!

[@BaldKiwi117]

It's in the description. Starts at 400k

[@NewMoonBlitz]

Expensive 😂

[@kennybarth8742]

If you have to ask then well you know.

[@sheepdog1102]

I like it 😊

[@gorn9161]

@@NewMoonBlitz You can get them used for the price of a fancy car. 200k+

[@aviationphd]

Righteous boat!

[@scottdynek2728]

This little yacht is screaming Florida Keys! Maybe Bahamas!

[@hcwbw3]

The thing that makes it so versatile and capable in many respects is also what you would have to come to terms with if your going to "live on her for long" the beam.

[@nnasab]

I like the design of this boat. Inlet waterways are perfect for this boat. Also you don’t have to buy stocks in oil companies. 😊

[@gregoryburnham7014]

Seapiper needs to add an automatic kite pull system and I’m all over it.

[@atharvatoskar1633]

beautiful boat ❤

[@jjrdias]

If this were sold in Europe, I'd DEFINITELY look into one. Love the ethos of the boat, and have been following the project for a while. Very nice video. Here's hoping it lands in the EU.

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for watching and hope to have more info on European availability!

[@jjrdias]

@@BoatTEST Thanks for replying. If it could be priced competitively, vis-a-vis the Beneteau 34 (which is the best seller in Europe when it comes to trawler-type vessels of similar dimensions, and also a single engine boat), I think it'd be a winner, given its focus on simplicity, ease-of-use, reliability, economy, and relatively easy one-man handling. And it's a thing of beauty, as well. Love that design. Nice to see the new ownership be much more proactive when it comes to promoting it. Cheers and smooth sailings

[@BoatTEST]

@@jjrdias Thank you! The starting price is $399,000. We hope to get to full test on it!

[@malbertproductions]

If only this boat had higher cruising speeds. 7 knots is great for long range, but cruising long Beach and getting out to Catalina would take hours. How would this boat handle going against strong currents, like in the inside passage at that speed?

[@blueschild61]

Does it come with a gooseneck/5th wheel?

[@ericr.3759]

I love it but think there are some concerns. Length to beam makes it fast with low HP which is great but asks for the expensive stabilization. The narrow beam and central cockpit asks what can you do for a dinghy without blocking boarding and extending slip size, and how does the admiral use the head underway in rough, cold, wet conditions? The boat's capable but the admiral is not.

[@TheFreerslug]

Can Seapiper be fitted with an Electric drive plus Battery bank?

[@MVRemote]

This is an exact copy of the traditional Tasmanian cray boat. These boats have been used as commercial fishing boats in Tasmania Australia since the late 1800's.

[@yanassi]

I love the capabilities and pragmatic design of both seapiper 35 & 37, but i wish seapiper would hire a designer like saxdor’s to do the helm station and living accommodations in a single midship cabin. The outdoor commute after you wake up seems really inconvenient.

[@frosty3693]

Having to put on foulweather gear to go to the head in the rain could get old. Old meme about cruising, mostly on sailboats trans oceanic, "the world's most expensive way to travel fourth class."

[@2bigbufords]

Cool boat

[@dirkschlomer6363]

This is a really fantastic boat. Will it also be avaiable in Europe, lets say in the Nederlands or Germany?

[@Sven6345789]

They have gotten orders from Europe. Or so he said in the interview.

[@karsonstreet6180]

What category is it?

[@DougMinchau]

Great Job Captain Boomies!

[@limongysamsonjean5758]

Thé Price please

[@BoatTEST]

Starting at $399,999.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Justin kept saying "this price point" without even giving a ballpark base price. It would be nice to know if it's closer in price to a Ranger 31S or a Ranger 43S

[@BaldKiwi117]

Starts at 400k. It's in the description

[@BoatTEST]

@@BaldKiwi117 thank you for helping us out! : )

[@HJfmTex]

I saw a used 35 for around 260K. I think 2020. A used 2018 35 for around $195K. Nice cool unique mini yacht though.

[@BoatTEST]

starting at $399,000

[@jacktyler7599]

Apparently the production costs + commission didn't line up with the SeaPiper 35 so it was magically extended to become a SeaPiper 37.

[@user-tv5dt3nm9y]

I like the SP design very much. At $400k I think the boat gets pushed into a very small area of of questionable affordability vs for what she is capable. To be realistic, this boat on a trailer means hiring out the truck-tractor, at least, to pull it.

[@King-Lew]

Starting Price: $399,000.00 it’s in the description.

[@toffenloffen8033]

Come to norway!!!

[@diernosaj]

Not a single word on price anywhere on the Seapiper 37.

[@BoatTEST]

sorry forgot to respond. This boat starts at $399,000.

[@diernosaj]

@@BoatTEST Wow that's unexpectedly reasonable.

[@BoatTEST]

@@diernosaj We agree!

[@MrSilus2000]

Did the computer designer have boating experience too?

[@edmundooliver7584]

no, he used a napkin to draw it.

[@chrismason123]

More boat, less table talk would be an improvement.

[@ianscott3180]

Beta Marine engines are common in sailboats in Europe.

[@UpAndRunning-xz6er]

And not uncommon in the USA.

[@-AV8R-]

A lot of good information except the most important part... price.

[@BoatTEST]

Sorry forgot to respond this boat starts at $399,000. When we can we put it in the description. So many boats come with widely different options, and the dealers all have their special prices. But we plan to start writing prices on the descriptions going forward.

[@mikefrench3800]

Captain Boomies 😛

[@vetdoc35]

500k for such a small Boat is heavy but the older folks are full of greens 😂

[@smokiedavinci]

It always seems when the price is ridiculously high, they conveniently forget to mention the price. I would not want to run this boat for the great loop

[@BoatTEST]

starting at $399,999 -- we list in the description.

[@johnwright456]

Just stick to my pontoon boat.

[@timtune7231]

Ocean not too sure.

[@jamesstuart3346]

This is a dumb design. The helmsperson has a great view of the forward cabin and not much else. If there are people standing in the middle deck he has no forward view at all. Sorry replace "dumb" with "dangerous"

[@cheftomsd]

I don't get anyone wanting to tow a boat this size. Give me more beam, stability and interior room.

[@wes326]

@@jamesstuart3346 I like the layout of an Albin much better. Different isn't always better.

[@timtune7231]

90 video boats are never in any type of waves. Maybe a bad day at Haul over. It is not looking very sea-capable.

[@ronaldgriffin6963]

not good for backing in a slip

[@Cripplehorse]

So, being a California tech jock has the credibility to design a boat? Aside from the fact that most technology is shaky at best, it takes totally different skills to design a safe boat.

[@fnyack]

A steel hull would be better.

[@michiganengineer8621]

It would also cost at least half again as much. I'm not arguing against you because I agree that a metal hull would be better. It's just that selling a steel, or even aluminum hull for what is essentially a "puddle jumper" would be nearly impossible in the States.

[@UpAndRunning-xz6er]

Original Sea pipers were made of aluminum in Asia.
