A membership in the range
The Karnic CS 700 is the latest addition to the Cypriot shipyard Karnic Boats, which offers open hull and cabin-cruiser models from 4.90 m to 10.30 m. This 7.65 m cabin-cruiser is available in two versions, with or without hard-top.
Its design takes up the characteristic lines of the range with a black insert on the front of the hull in which are integrated portholes and a grill insert on the back which gives it a sporty look.
A modular cockpit
Another characteristic of the range, found on this model, is the modularity of the cockpit, which can be accessed from the large side skirts. Gates secure access to the cockpit. The rear bench seat, positioned on rails and equipped with a tilting backrest, offers several configurations. Either two seats facing the cockpit table (also removable), or two seats facing the sea. Two side bench seats and one in the leaning-post allow 7 guests to sit around the table. The latter is installed on a large storage box.
on the starboard side, a small galley cleverly hidden under two hoods houses a sink and space for a cooking hob. On the starboard side, the spacious cockpit has enough space for a 16-inch screen. It is composed of two comfortable armchairs with flip-up seats that offer an optimal driving position, well protected behind the windshield.
A beach before solarium
Access to the front deck, although quite narrow given the width of the gangways, is quite easy by standing on the hard-top handrails and the large guardrail. The front sundeck is equipped with a nice double sunbed with flip-up backrest, handrails, standard speaker and cup holders.
A beautiful cabin with separate toilet
inside, the cabin offers a good headroom thanks to the raised deck. There is a saloon that can be converted into a rather large double bed, as well as a toilet with a washbasin. A refrigerator can be installed in the cabin as an option. However, there is a lack of storage space.
Many options in the catalog
The Karnic CS 700 is powered by a Selva outboard engine with a maximum output of 250 hp and is priced at 80-625 euros (tax included). The majority of the comfort equipment is nevertheless offered as an option: folding cockpit seats, three-panel table, bathing platforms, bow sundeck, electric windlass, etc.
