The 240 FX from Invictus Yacht, when Italian design meets the world of fishing

The 240 FX, Invictus Yacht's new outboard presented at Cannes in 2016

The 240 FX, a new model from the Italian shipyard specialising in elegant and fast speedboats, will be unveiled in preview at the Yachting Cannes Festival 2016. Available in "leisure" or "fishing" versions, it is easily adaptable to suit various sailing programmes.

After the launch in 2015 of the 270 FX, Invictus Yacht unveils the first synthetic images of the new 240 FX. This new 7.45 m outboard extends the FX range, which already includes 3 models: 190 FX (6.1 m), 200 FX (6.1 m) and 270 FX (8.1 m).

Like the previous models, the 240 FX has a sporty fishing look as well as the finishes, equipment and materials found throughout the range. Its lines are harmonious and its construction neat. Whether in the "leisure" or "fishing" version, the owner will own a comfortable and elegant boat with several possible arrangements in the front area. It can be equipped with a U-shaped sofa, a simple bench seat or left free for a fishing version.

Like the 270 FX launched at the end of 2015, the console and helm station were entirely designed to adapt to the space. The latter has been optimised to the maximum since there is even a small cabin under the deck, with optional toilets. It is completely protected by a large and high windscreen and has a seat without backrest for two people. In front of the steering console is a seat facing the bow bench.

The layout has been detailed to show the versatility of the 240 FX. For example, the rear bench seat has a removable backrest to create a sunbathing area and the centre console seat has a reclosable compartment with a cooler. The deck space has been designed to maximize the area used to store all the accessories necessary for a day of relaxation or fishing.

Ready to fish

The boat is also equipped with a storage box to store water skis or fish, a rack for fishing rods or a folding canopy and folding table on the foredeck, to create a dining area with the U-shaped bench in the front.

In the fishing version, the rear bench seat is replaced by a complete fishing station with sink, bait box, storage compartments for equipment, and a rack for 4 rods. An optional canopy with stainless steel brackets and rod holders (top and bottom) houses the centre console.

A modular boat, like any Invictus

The modular design is an integral part of the 240 FX since the owner has the possibility to change one or more elements of the boat, or even to change version (between fishing and leisure).
