The centrepiece of the innovation is a mechanism that allows the engines to be folded away to the side. This creates a usable area on a 33-foot boat that is usually found on 36- or 37-foot yachts. A cool option: an integrated garage for a jet ski - even on the compact version. For those who prefer to take it easy, the space can also be used as a spacious bathing platform or for other leisure highlights.
Lightweight, robust and sustainable: focus on aluminium
Instead of GRP Ghinis on aluminium - out of conviction. This is because the material has several advantages: It is lighter than plastic, completely recyclable and more deformable than brittle in the event of impact. What's more, aluminium allows for flexible design without expensive moulds and scores highly in terms of fire safety. Although GRP versions are also planned, the initial focus is clearly on the aluminium models.
Inclusive design: accessibility taken into account
Another plus point: Ghinis thinks of everyone. An optional lifting device is designed to help people with limited mobility to get on board safely - or even into the pilot position. This makes the boating experience accessible to even more people.
Travelling internationally - with prominent support
Ghinis also wants to take off internationally. In addition to Europe, the US market is the main target - a crowdfunding campaign for its own production facility is already underway there. The shipyard is also looking for partners in Brazil - and has landed a real coup with racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi. Together, they plan to create an exclusive boat line based on the current 33-foot model. Future designs will then be developed entirely according to Fittipaldi's ideas.
