PowerboatDe Antonio D32 Open

The De Antonio D32 Open stands out in the market, designed by the Spanish shipyard De Antonio. Known for its distinctive and unmistakable style, De Antonio has crafted a unique design language, distinguishing its boats from other walk-around models. Initially, the sharp-cornered shapes and linear sides sparked discussion, but these design elements quickly became trendy. De Antonio now offers ten models, ranging from 23 to 50 feet.

Design and Features

The De Antonio D32 Open measures 9.9 meters, ideal for various practical reasons. Staying under the 10-meter limit simplifies regulatory compliance in countries like Italy. This size is manageable for less experienced operators and performs well even in imperfect conditions. The deck allows safe movement from stern to bow, providing peace of mind when children are on board.

The boat features two top versions: a soft-top that blends seamlessly with the windshield, providing shade and weather protection, and a hard top supported by four pillars, ensuring the living area remains sheltered. The upholstery and hull are customizable, available in different colors, including white, light grey, and dark grey.

Interior and Amenities

The aft sundeck, equipped with headrests, conceals the outboard engines, keeping the platform free for use. The seating arrangement around the table includes two convertible sofas and three additional seats in the steering area. Amidship, a compact yet fully equipped kitchen module is available, with ample space for fenders and a handrail in the bulwark.

The bow hosts a sundeck for three people with a storage locker underneath. Below deck, the D32 Open offers four berths: two at the bow and two at the stern. The space is well-utilized, with numerous lockers along the bulwarks. The bathroom, though basic, is comfortable. Optional air conditioning and a generator set are available, along with a large locker for additional storage and toys.

Performance and Handling

Powered by twin Mercury outboards, the D32 Open offers a range of engine options from 200 to 300 horsepower. The dashboard accommodates two 12-inch displays, essential for ease of navigation in rough seas. The boat can be equipped with either classic flaps or modern interceptors for trim control, with some models featuring automatic functions to correct heel, roll, and pitch.

The D32 Open achieves planing speed just over 10 knots, maintaining a balanced weight distribution. Cruising comfortably at 25 knots with engines running at 4300 rpm, the boat demonstrates excellent handling nearshore and in open seas. At maximum speed, the boat reaches up to 47 knots, showcasing impressive performance thanks to its efficient hull design featuring multiple redans.

Market Position

Priced from €240,000 in Europe, the De Antonio D32 Open can reach nearly €300,000 with additional accessories. This competitive pricing, combined with its stylish design, practical features, and excellent performance, makes the D32 Open a compelling choice for boating enthusiasts.
