Barcelona is located directly by the sea and is a city with a long industrial tradition and excellent communication. This makes it the perfect location for the headquarters of De Antonio Yachts, founded in 2012 by Marc de Antonio and Stan Chmielewski.
The founders' recipe for success sounds simple: an international team of specialists, innovative technologies, modern design, production facilities in Portugal and Poland and a dense dealer network spread across four continents. According to De Antonio Yachts, all this together makes it the "leader" in the day boat market. The fact is that De Antonio Yachts and its boats are among the regulars in the "Powerboat of the Year" elections. So the D36 Open is, unsurprisingly, on the List of nominees for the 2023 vintage.
First detailed pictures of the De Antonio D36 Open
The De Antonio D36 Open sets standards for performance and comfort in its class. The former is ensured by the motorisation with two powerful outboard engines, which means two times 300 or two times 450 hp or something in between. If you reach for the top shelf when choosing an engine, you will later find yourself in the speed range of 45 kilometres plus. If economy is at the top of the wish list, the "small" engines and cruising at 27 knots are the first choice.
The stepped hull with a deep V-frame is not only fast, it also helps to save fuel and provides safety and comfort in rough water. The latter is also on the delivery note for the two cabins below deck. The plus points here include a mini bathroom, a bench seat and two comfortable double beds. Cooking and washing up is done open-air in the cockpit.
The walkaround concept of the De Antonio D36 Open creates space. Space for a centre console, a kitchen with dinette, two sun loungers and a bathing platform. When it comes to the roof construction, which also determines the appearance of the windscreen, König Kunde has a choice: soft or hardtop.
