Iberica 29, a new daycruiser with hidden outboard engines

Spanish shipyard Iberica Yachts has launched its first model, the Iberica 29 (7.99 m) in the summer of 2021, whose design is not without similarities to another Spanish shipyard. This daycruiser offers all the amenities for a comfortable day at sea at anchor.

A sunbathing area that encloses the outboard motors

The Iberica 29 is a 7.99 m long and 2.96 m wide daycruiser with a walkaround deck. Its design is clearly reminiscent of the Spanish shipyard De Antonio Yachts. We find the bulwarks of beautiful height which secure the displacement on board, as well as this very large sunbathing area for 3 people on the back which completely covers the outboard engines. This configuration reduces noise, but also ensures greater safety, especially when anchored. The aft bulwarks deploy laterally to increase the cockpit area.

The hull is marked by a strong redan, which must undoubtedly bring stability to the boat, especially during turns. The bow is inverted.

A cockpit that can accommodate 12 people

In the center of the cockpit, a bench seat with its folding table can be completed opposite by a second bench seat. The backrest of the co-pilot's bench seat tilts to create a seat facing the sea, around the table.

Solar panels for on-board equipment

The center console looks spacious and has a one-piece wraparound windshield. A rigid hard top provides protection for the pilot and extends to the cockpit saloon. The latter is equipped with solar panels that provide power for the on-board equipment and battery charging.

Large storage space inside

Finally, the bow houses a U-shaped saloon with two bow benches, a table and a console bench, which can be converted into a second solarium. Below deck, there are two euro berths, one in the bow and one in the stern, which will be used more as storage space, given the very low headroom in these two areas. They will also delight the children who will be able to take a nap and take refuge there as in a cabin. Finally, a closed toilet with WC, washbasin and shower completes the set. It is also possible to install a refrigerator.
