With the H19CC, Honda Marine strengthens its offer in the strategic segment of open boats under six meters, a market where simplicity of use, transportability and controlled fuel consumption take precedence over a profusion of equipment. At under 32,000 euros with a Honda BF100 engine, this model combines Japanese rigor with the Italian finesse of the Ranieri shipyard, and is aimed at those seeking a reliable, pleasant and affordable first boat.


Part of the âeuros 4XC range, the result of a close partnership between Honda Marine and the âeuros shipyard in Calabria, the H19CC boasts meticulous construction, well-thought-out ergonomics and versatility rare in its class. We took the helm to assess its performance, on-board comfort and positioning in the face of very active competition in this segment.

Designed as the first step into the world of Honda Marine, the H19CC combines Japanese mechanical expertise with the Italian build quality of the Ranieri International shipyard. Accessible, sturdy and elegant, this small open boat with central console impresses with its consistency and efficiency. Capable of reaching 35 knots with a Honda BF100, it combines sobriety, stability and driving pleasure in a compact, transportable format.

With an entry-level price of around 32,000 euros, it is positioned as a top-of-the-range access boat, on the borderline between family leisure, inshore fishing and sporty escapades. We took the helm in real-life conditions to judge its seaworthiness, layout and place in the compact open boat market.
