If you take a look at the SunCamper 30, you have to rethink: this boat looks more like a caravan on the water. As a result, the living solutions are also "caravan-like". Advantage: practical and spacious layout. Disadvantage: The high superstructure makes the boat susceptible to wind. The Suncamper is therefore recommended for inland waterways. The Polish shipyard even classifies its boat as CE category C for coastal waters. We were unable to test how it behaves in such areas in swell because we took the Suncamper out on the Fleesensee, where it also fits in.
It is built in Augustow, Poland, by Balt Yacht. Our neatly finished test boat shows that quality is a priority there. Smooth gelcoat and complete protective coating on the inside are just as much a sign of this as the rounded edges, reinforced fastening points and uniform gap dimensions on the furniture. However, the aluminium rails on the windows and doors are too simple.
When it comes to motorisation, the shipyard relies on three different drive systems: the simple and inexpensive version with an outboard motor, the "endurance version" with diesel engines and the modern eco version with electric drive. We travelled with the standard diesel, a Craftsman Marine CM 4.33 (33 hp).
The entire boat test can be found in BOOTE 03/12.
