Fast, fun and fantastic value | Quarken 35 Cabin sea trial | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@danmurphy1994]

Imagine going 52 knots while comfortably insulated in this beautiful cabin in freezing waters in the winter time! So awesome!

[@jacktyler7599]

A gem of a boat. Thank you, Alex.

[@emmettcotter1206]

Brilliantly practical review. You always point out areas that can be improved, without being unnecessarily critical. Great job (and lovely boat)

[@nicbennett6554]

Enjoyable and honest review as expected Alex, thank you 👏🏼👏🏼 Looks like yet another brilliant Scandinavian boat. Great fun for relatively little money.

[@FLGurl]

Really enjoy your videos. Many thanks!

Excellent review Alex

[@Nezzer57]

Been waiting for this sea trial, so thankyou 👍 Prefer the higher freeboard here compared to other Baltic bombers... What a great all rounder, and as you say, well priced in the scheme of things. US spec already has a port side window, so that's good, love to see the sunroof when available. 350's make value sense too, especially at resale time... Great boat!

[@alexsmith3945]

Great to see the port side window has made an appearance. For me, that extra communication channel on a pilothouse boat makes things much easier at close quarters.

I’d really like to hear how this compares head to head in sea keeping vs Axopar 28/37 in some choppier stuff. The design looks great but clearly it is a much beamier hull design, this must have some ride implications

[@enginerelish]

The Quarken's tend to be faster top end for a given power output, and a drier ride through the rough stuff

[@armyman3666]

Do they make a sterndrive diesel tender version?

[@fishtigua]

I'd add a microwave I think, with Lithium batteries. God bless diesel heaters. A radar for Channel Island runs too.

I love Yamaha engines

Really wish they had found a way to create a small second cabin for the children.

[@alexsmith3945]

Good point. Perhaps an optional aft cabin sunk into the cockpit deck might have been an idea. Or even just a modest bulkhead and curtain to cordon off the convertible settee. Either way, don't despair! I suspect there may be an even larger Quarken just around the corner...

[@septopus3516]

For this price, an additional 15k in aftermarket bits and upgrades and this is perfect. Still underpriced!

[@danmurphy1994]

I really trust the british when it comes to boats

[@darthkek1953]

And the British trust the Finns.

[@alexsmith3945]

@@darthkek1953 That we do!

[@maryholder3795]

Day cruiser, overnight stay, but only one bed plus day head with shower. There is also have a seatee that can be made into a smaller bed for a child. But for a couple and two children that could be tricky. Unless you use the table/ benchs in the pilot house for another bed space. She is practically designed, with safety and comfort in mind. A day head with shower. Like her, she'd make a good 1st boat, a day cruiser with the ability for people to stay overnight. Like her.

[@danih9523]

Yes specially when welcraft is1.2M 😂

[@cigarmann]

Similar to but not as refined as a Nimbus or Axopar....

[@enginerelish]

Definitely more refined than an Axopar!

[@samsid857]

Nimbus T11 may be quality but horrible design. Doesn’t do anything right on the upper deck. No neck/ head support in the aft convertible sun lounger. No proper factory made aft shade or bow shade. Bow lounge lacks ratcheting back/ neck support. Seat in front of that lounge is ridiculous and not for humans. Nimbus T11 is a missed opportunity. Lots of bow rise.
