I love this boat because it ticks the boxes for me for how I would use the boat for my kind of cruising. I love the fact that the bulk of the day-to-day living is done on decks that have large windows, extensive line of sight views and bright spaces. I appreciate the fact that it has a cockpit and a flybridge for multiple social areas. The Europa style offers the covered side decks, which not only keeps the side decks dry, it also keeps most of the rain and the hot afternoon sun off of the windows. The boat is designed for safe and economical cruising. It won’t get you there fast, but it will get you there and it won’t break the bank filling the fuel tanks. The cockpit is nice because it makes it easy to manage dock lines, crab traps and offers easy access to your tender. Mechanically, I am most at home operating twin inboard engines and I love diesels for their durability, power and efficiency. Lastly, I like a ’Sedan’ style boat that permits you to step directly from the cockpit into the salon without stairs. The contribution of this is that the boat seems more open and provides a relatively seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living aboard.

All-in-all, the boat is an excellent combination of great cruising features and the boat should offer a new owner many safe, stylish and reliable cruising seasons ahead.
