New motor boats to discover in Cannes

Here is the selection of motor boats with cabin for a short cruise or a night on board, to be discovered at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 12 to 17 September 2017.

Delphia 1200 BluEscape

The 1200 BluEscape is a 12.45-meter trawler with a reduced air and water draft to meet river gauges. This new model launches the new BluEspace range, a more modern range, with a floor-level layout and more elegant lines. With its displacement hull, the 1200 BluEscape will be offered as a single or twin-engine in-line craft with a choice of engines. The shipyard has focused on comfort by offering a large living space with two double cabins, with two bathrooms with toilet.

Evo WA

Evo Yachts, a young Italian brand that made a name for itself with the successful Evo 43 model - a 13-meter-long daycruiser with an extendable cockpit - is launching a second model, the Evo WA The Evo WA is a 13.12 m walk-around model with the same innovative features: clean lines, minimalist design, original solutions to maximize the boat's recreational potential... The main feature of the Evo WA is the ability to move around the deck, from the rear bathing platform to the large sunbathing area at the bow, thanks to the gangways. The Evo WA is equipped with Volvo Penta IPS 600 engines (2x435 HP).

Fjord 36 Xpress

The Fjord 36 Xpress is the first outboard model from the German shipyard Fjord (HanseYachts Group). The deck plan of this 11.32 m r dayboat remains relatively similar to the 36 Open (released in 2011). The main difference is in the cockpit, since the rear deck (main characteristic of the Fjord) disappears to make room for two platforms on each side of the engine. The new motorization also allows to enlarge the navigation area (since we can raise the engines and thus navigate in less accessible areas), but also to offer a more affordable price than the inboard model. The Fjord 36 Xpress also promises to be a high performance boat, with two choices of engines. It will be equipped with two Mercury Verado (2x300 HP or 2x350 HP) for speeds between 39 knots with the first engine and 45 knots with the second.

Galeon 370 HTC

The wheelhouse houses a saloon and a kitchen on the same level as the cockpit, where there is an L-shaped saloon that can be transformed into a sunbathing area and a beautiful bathing platform. The 370 HTC can be powered by up to 2x300 hp.

The brand will also exhibit for the first time in France the 510 and 560 Skydeck .
