The Grand 850 Golden Line is one of the Ukrainian brand's greatest models. It's legendary for its seaworthiness, its level of finish and the permanent feeling of safety it instills once on board.

While performance is always something to keep an eye on, especially when it's as good as it is here, it shouldn't detract from the pleasure of discovering a beautifully finished and well-designed unit. Add an extensive navigation program and a touch of luxury, and you've got a semi-rigid boat that's equally at home in sport or cruising mode.

Whether through its concept, its equipment, its hull-engine combination or its extensive list of options, the 850 Golden Line will appeal to both demanding sailors and family cruisers.
