Joker Boat modernizes its successful model the Clubman 24 with the launch of the new generation. This Clubman 24 has the same hull as the previous model, but has been completely redesigned in terms of deck layout. It also has the same deck layout as its big brother, the Clubman 28, which we tested in Cannes in 2016. This new 7.46m model is made of Hypalon ORCA neoprene with a counter-moulded hull and manufactured in Milan, Italy.
The aft cockpit now receives a large U-shaped bench seat with the possibility of installing a dining table, and the whole thing converts into a very large sundeck. Access on board is also easier with a passage to starboard, avoiding stepping over the back of the bench seat. There is plenty of storage space under the seats, but also under the large forward sundeck, with a stowage area mounted on jacks and accessible without having to remove the cushions.
The leaning-post is fitted with a fridge and can also be fitted with an optional kitchen unit. The central cockpit can accommodate 2 people (double bench seat with the bottom of the seat up) and has a rather spacious dashboard, protected by a windscreen. The cockpit bench tilts backwards to benefit from a large convivial saloon.
The front of the console still contains a large storage area. On the old version, the forward cockpit received a smaller sunbathing area opposite a bench seat attached to the console, which itself was set back to the stern. With this new configuration, we have a more comfortable boat, with many sunbathing areas, but with more storage space. The Clubman 24 now has a high transom and a few steps to access the two skirts framing the engine, whereas before the bathing platform was flush.
With its high, rigid backrests, handrails on the console and its lateral passage on the port side, there is a real feeling of security. Quality is at the rendezvous on this new generation model, with a comfortable and well-made upholstery, a plywood deck and stainless steel valves on the floats. The colours are customizable. The Clubman 24 receives between 225 and 300 hp outboard with a recommended 250 hp engine.
Hull price alone: from 55,590 euros including VAT
