Test / Cheetah Adventure 690 layout, a customizable deck area

© Emmanuel Van Deth

The Cheetah Adventure 690 offers a very spacious deck plan, which can be customized to suit your needs by choosing from a variety of options. Let's discover the layout of this new model.

When pleasure rhymes with space

The Cheetah Adventure 690 is 6.9 m long and has a beam of 2.5 m. It is an open outboard catamaran with a cockpit protected by a small glass superstructure on the bow and sides. On board, the standard layout is simple to offer a versatile program to its owners. The emphasis is on space, as Franck Vidal, the French importer explains: "There is a lot of space on board for everyone to move freely. Oftentimes, aboard boats, when someone wants to move, everyone else is forced to move to let them through."

At the back, there is a 140 cm wide L-shaped bench, with a removable table. A design work has been done on this area to offer a more lounge area. It is also possible to transform the space into a sunbed or sleeping area, by closing the cockpit with a tent. On the side, a step allows access to the boat by stepping over the bulwark.

Options to customize your layout

The tilting bulwark to starboard, with manual opening, is an option at 9,999 euros TTC - price 2022. It allows to enlarge the space to obtain a surface of 3,8 m by 3 m. On the back, between the two engines, a large trunk allows to store things. For the moment, it will be separated into several storage compartments.

As an option, it will be possible to install a leaning-post with a kitchen, or a chemical toilet thanks to the high hull. Our model was equipped with an EVA foam deck covering, which costs 4,500 euros, and which will be appreciated for pleasure boating.

The central cockpit is well protected from the weather and has a simple and sufficient standard equipment: a Simrad 9-inch plotter, a Simrad VHF radio, navigation lights, batteries, circuit breaker... However, we note the absence of handrails to hold on to during navigation, especially when the sea is rough. Storage space is available under the steering console.

Finally, the black aluminum roof rack, installed as standard in the Adventure package, provides storage for numerous water toys and can accommodate an optional bimini.

A safe and secure journey

The Cheetah Adventure 690 offers a safe, 98 cm high bulwark at the bow and 92 cm at the stern. The forward deck, secured by a high black balcony, is also reassuring and provides plenty of room, especially for anchoring.

With a flexible layout and plenty of room on board, the Cheetah Adventure fits well with its multi-purpose boat program. It is certified as a Class C boat and can carry up to 6 people.
