Let yourself be surprised by manoeuvrability and high performance together with surprising design solutions. The yacht builders from Italy see their "8" as the perfect harmony of design, comfort and functionality. Visible to everyone are the motorisation with inboard or outboard engines, two folding cockpit balconies, galley, comfortable sofas and sun loungers and the bathroom below deck.
Family holiday with the family? Two cabins, a kitchen and a separate bathroom offer the desired comfort. If you have sporty ambitions, choose the motorisation with two 250 hp outboards and enjoy a top speed of 40 knots. Open-air functionality is a high priority on the Walkaround. The convertible bench seat and a folding "terrace" with integrated bathing ladder turn the cockpit in the stern into a sun deck with bathing platform. Sofa or sun lounger: the seating area in the cockpit in front of the helm can do both. That leaves the T-top, which keeps the smut at the barbecue in the cockpit galley out of the rain.
Sitting in the front row The second cockpit in the bow gives the bowrider its name and is its trademark. Regal advertises its LS6 with convertible, lavishly upholstered sofas and loungers, safe movement, a toilet compartment with washbasin, a low bathing platform, bimini top and a hull design called FastTrac, which is designed to be fast and save fuel.
Here today, somewhere tomorrow If you want to travel by road with the V-One, which is just 2.26 m wide and weighs 970 kg, you don't need an "extra-wide licence" or a super-powerful tug. The shipyard recommends engines in the 70 to 100 hp power class, which means that the bowrider built in Brazil can also tow sporty water skiers at any time. The opening windscreen in the passageway to the bow cockpit should not be missing on any bowrider, and two individual seats and a convertible (sunbed) stern bench seat are installed behind the windscreen.
From morning to night With a large cockpit, sun loungers, bathing platform with extendable ladder, a powerful outboard engine (250 hp) and sporty handling characteristics, the trailerable Oceanmaster 680 DC actually has everything a real day cruiser needs. Actually, because without "extras" such as the slip cabin under the foredeck with two berths and toilet, the cockpit bar with sink and fridge and a complete convertible top, day cruisers are virtually unsaleable today. Polish boat builders are well aware of this and are therefore upgrading their boats.
