BOAT REPORT


ACLOSER LOOK WITH JACK HAINES


VENTILATION Elongated hull window allows even more natural light into the galley and the opening port gives some natural ventilation on top of the extractor fan.


SLIDING DOORS We have seen these solutions before but Sunseeker’s is simple and very effective. Shown slid together here, the doors then glide into a void in the deck.


A small breakfast dinette is a much better use of space than the usual chaise longue


VIP gets an island berth


with no steps either side, so getting in and out is easy


SUNROOF One of the largest sunroofs I’ve seen on any boat and the glazing means that natural light can still get in when it’s closed. Transforms the boat when open.


ENGINEROOM The tender garage moulding impedes access to the port engine but the quality of the installation can’t be faulted. Plentiful artificial light and a fresh water hose are desirable touches.


THERIVALS


Bunks in the third cabin are a good size if you need to sleep adults


Lower dinette is small but it’s nice to have the additional space to sit


Azimut 55S Price from €1.1m Bristling with clever touches, such as a crew cabin in the bow, the triple IPS 55S is a real high-quality head-turner. BUY THE TEST mby.com/az55s


Princess V57 Price from £989,400 Not quite as eye-catching as the Predator but beautifully put together, extremely refined and solid on the water. BUY THE TEST mby.com/v57
