De-lux dayboat. A picnic boat for the modern man. Not the market niche I drool over but still this one is nicely made.

[@maryholder3795]

Comprehensive review thank you. A typical party boat? Yes, It's very stylish and suits its purpose. Well built lovely line and foredeck. Interesting.

[@forresthoward5868]

For those who fancy a vessel like this, by all means, enjoy! For me, no thank you. Not interested in the slightest… maybe a boat to run me and my family and friends to shore for lunch 🥗 or dinner 🥘 but not much else…

You see a lot of these on the Miami River. The area around there is about the same size as the Balearic Islands. What is the point of them? What is the point of a Bentley? Everything a Bentley does my Honda does better - except be cool and exclusive. What is the point of a Mechanical Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that costs $50,000? Everything it does my $15 Casio does. Would I have one of these - absolutely! I'd use it as a launch from my Private Island to my other Private Island - where I keep my collection of mechanical watches.

2 little Murphy style births opening over the front V could let someone catch a nap

[@theboatguy6526]

Great boat but needs V-drives with bow and stern thrusters cheaper and more reliable solution. Do not understand why shipyards are moving to sterndrives or IPS?

[@frouchitude1916]

The guy who has this kind of boat also has a concrete house and a plastic wife.

[@rykehuss3435]

What about the guy who owns an Aquariva?

[@jimj2683]

You can already see scratches on the windscreen. That is why you should never use plastic instead of glass.

[@friskytwox]

damn, yall are extremely negative in the comments section. some of you are even projecting and its embarrassing as hell.

[@chrisbethmann3955]

Grow a set….

[@lexburen5932]

american ignorance. we europeans also have a lot of negatives to say about american boats. like the bayliner rattles appart

[@friskytwox]

@@lexburen5932 i don't care about euros and what they have to say bout anything

[@markusweimar3539]

This boat is as redundant as an ox milking machine!! It's not even suitable as a tender for a superyacht and the shower in it is probably there for free.😅

[@matthiaskettner6686]

That is the coldest interior of a boat i‘ve ever seen also if it wouldn‘t have air condition.

[@jpadarath27]

Noice...

[@karatejoe5049]

I literally can't with this guy. Hugo is ok but ffs this guy loves the sound of his voice.

[@kokomo9764]

Seems like just another average boat.

[@fabionegri4855]

useless

[@mortgagexhomeloans5219]

No

[@chrisbethmann3955]

After further review, it’s total garbage
