New 6.3 metre sports boat combines compactness with clever functions for use as a manoeuvrable yacht tender.

Graf Bootsbau is expanding its portfolio with a sports boat that has been specially developed as a tender for larger yachts. With a length of just 6.3 metres, the new model is characterised by high manoeuvrability and a small footprint.

Compact design with well thought-out space utilisation

In contrast to the manufacturer's larger models, which are designed for comfort, the focus of this boat is on agility. The asymmetrical sunbed provides easy access to the large bathing platform at the stern. Although there is less seating at first glance, the boat offers space for up to eight people thanks to practical folding seats at the back of the front seats.

To minimise the space required in the tender garage, the engineers have developed an innovative folding mechanism for the windscreen. In addition, a fold-out step facilitates access, which is particularly advantageous for people with limited mobility.

Versatile drive options

Electric, petrol or diesel engines in various power classes are available as drive options. Power is transmitted via a Z-drive, which ensures a high level of manoeuvrability.

The manufacturer is open to customisation and offers professional support in the implementation of individual ideas.
