Test / Bella 620C, a Nordic concept well adapted to our coasts


The Bella 620 C is a 6.35 cabin cruiser that came straight from Scandinavia and was imported into France by Ponton Marine (La Rochelle). He won the prestigious "European Powerboat of the Year 2018" last January. We tried the first model imported into France. The Bella 620 C is a perfect small boat for a day at sea, even in tough conditions.

The frame of Eovolt bicycles is made of aluminium, the same one used on aircraft. Besides its weight, it is interesting when sailing, because aluminium does not rust. A small detail, this electric bike, which has a screen to manage the battery and the level of assistance, is also equipped with a USB plug to recharge your laptop while on the road. Bella 620 C is a modern 6.35 m long cabin cruiser, with highly structured lines, a small wheelhouse with a central passage through the cabin to connect the front and aft cockpits. It is the 3rd eST PRIS DANS LE GROS TEMPS, ET TANGUE DE GAUCHE ?ROITE, SECOUÉ PAR LES VAGUES.

Despite its small size, you can feel good in this bright boat with its fully glazed wheelhouse, which gives it a sense of space. The aft cockpit is left empty, protected by the bulwarks and a high aft balcony with two doors. Two small rear platforms extend the space. With this configuration, there are many storage spaces, but above all the necessary space to fish for example.

The wheelhouse can accommodate four people with a cockpit on the starboard side. The pilot seat is adjustable in length and the front part of the seat folds up for standing up. At the rear, a backrest can be installed between the two seats to provide an additional bench that will be suitable for a nap. On board is a sink (optional) under the passenger seat, as well as a fridge (also optional). Other options include heating, a cockpit bench, a 2 eST PRIS DANS LE GROS TEMPS, ET TANGUE DE GAUCHE ?ROITE, SECOUÉ PAR LES VAGUES.

The roof is equipped with a pilot side window, bringing more light and brightness to the interior. For older children, you can drive standing with your head outside, passing through the window.

Finally, a front cockpit - also equipped with numerous stowage compartments - allows you to enjoy outdoor sailing. Thanks to the two sliding glass doors, it is easy to move around on board, between the two cockpits. You can also use the decks by holding on with the handrails installed on the roof.

We had the opportunity to test the boat in La Rochelle even though the weather conditions - 1.5 m to 2 m high - prevented us from testing the boat's speed. This single-engine engine receives 90 to 200 HP with a recommended power of 115 HP. Our test boat was equipped with a Mercury 115hp ProXS. Approved in category C, it accommodates 7 people on board.

The big swell allowed us to validate the boat's behaviour in heavy sea conditions. Without ever being able to reach its maximum speed in view of the waves, we noticed a good passage at sea, without too much typing and always remaining perfectly controllable, never fickle.
