SPIBS Hot Ten Boats

A must-see at the St. Petersburg Boat Show

The 14.35-metre 460 Fly from Polish shipyard Galeon, launched in 2016, is one of the best boats in its class. The design of this motor gliding yacht with a flybridge was developed by Britishman Tony Castro. Although the three cabins can accommodate six guests, the maximum capacity of 460 Flys is twice as large. All thanks to tilting boards at the stern, which allow you to increase the cockpit area and create a space in which to communicate comfortably even a relatively large company.

Since its launch (in 2013), the 14 metre semi-closed cruiser with a cloth hatch Targa 45 Open has become a real bestseller at Fairline UK shipyard. The main emphasis in the development of the model was on spaciousness and comfort for communication on deck. Guests can sit both in the dining area and next to the control area. There is a sunbed on the roof of the tender garage for a 300 kg RIB like the Williams 285 Jet. Inside Targa 45 guests are expected to have two cabins.

The 14-meter sailing motor catamaran of the French shipyard Lagoon entered the market in June this year. At the current SPIBS it will be presented in Russia for the first time. The motto of this boat - «design and functionality are inseparable». For example, the convertible modular area on the flybridge is not only a space where you can enjoy the sun, but also a second control station for the catamaran. The main «chips» in the Lagoon 46's sailing arms are a shortened gick and a jib, which make it easy to operate when the boat is sailing. There are three or four cabins inside the hulls, which can accommodate up to 12 people in total.

The Axopar 37 Cabin, an 11.2 metre outboard motorboat, will be arriving from Finland at the show. The model is made of fiberglass and will be available from 2015. In 2017, she won the Motor Boat Awards in the Sportsboats and RIB's category for her «excellent sailing and seaworthiness, ultra-modern style and choice of layouts». Customers have a choice of configurations with engine power (or a pair of engines) from 350 to 600 hp. The boat can reach a maximum speed of 45 knots.

Spacious universal 9.9-meter motor catamaran Voyager 99 is an example of the domestic yachtbuilding industry. The production of Pacifico Yachts is located in Vladivostok. The Voyager 99 project dates back to 2018, and it will be the first boat to reach St. Petersburg. The characteristic feature of the catamaran is its economy. According to the company's representatives, due to the combination of fiberglass production technology and the design of the vessel, fuel consumption of the Voyager 99 is half as low - in comparison with a single hull boat of the same size.

Swedish shipyard Anytec will present for the first time in Russia 8.43-meter sea-going boat A 27 C. Depending on the outboard engine power, the strong but lightweight aluminium alloy boat can reach up to 50 knots. It also features a modular interior that allows for different layout of the cockpit.

Another boat from Russia on SPIBS is an 8.2-meter high-speed sports boat in the 60's style with a transverse edan on the hull of Velvette 27 NGT (Neo Grand Turismo) from Kazan. For high dynamism this model, produced since 2013, received the nickname «Red Devil». The boat can speed up to 120 km/h. The boat has everything necessary for comfortable rest on the water: galley, bathroom and even two comfortable berths. On the cockpit there is enough space to lay out a mattress and sunbathe.

Italian shipyard Cranchi will present for the first time in Russia its model 2018 - an open 7.85-meter outboard motor boat E26 Rider. Those who are looking for a tender for their superyacht should also take a look at this boat. The boat is designed for coastal sailing as well as for sailing out to sea.

Aluminum 7,13 meter open boat Voyager 700 Open is a new model from the Samara shipyard «Volzhanka». The boat is designed for eight passengers. Thanks to anti-slip pads on the bow deck and in the cockpit, self-draining cockpit and increased crinolines, the model is characterized by increased safety. Functions are added to the boat by aft steps and aft bulkheads with coamings, consoles in the cockpit, under the bow deck and under the passenger sofa, which are standard on the boat.

The aluminium 6.5-meter Eagle Star Cabin 655 for six people is an updated model of the NorthSilver shipyard in St. Petersburg. Compared to its predecessors, the Star Cabin 655 has a reinforced hull structure and takes into account a number of owners' wishes. The boat was received with interest not only in Moscow, but also in Helsinki and Dusseldorf.
