Design Features
︎Hydronic heating, wood fire & air conditioning
Feel at home with superior climate control, so you can relax no matter the outside temperature.
︎ Lithium batteries
Extremely advanced electrical & battery system charged by the Volvo Penta engine & solar. The battery system will go from flat to full in less than three hours, saving money & weight, and guaranteeing reliability. The Deal Island 50 can store roughly as much energy as the average house uses in one day. Incredible.
︎ Sliding sunroof, sliding wheelhouse doors & electric windows
Webasto sliding sunroof, slide opening wheelhouse doors & electric rear windows to completely open the wheelhouse and saloon. Keeps the wheelhouse and cabin cooler in warmer weather, and warmer in cooler weather. There’s nothing like the flow of fresh ocean air when travelling long distances underway!
︎ Traditional fishing wet well & pot hauler
To keep fresh fish, crayfish, oysters & muscles alive, so that you’re eating fresh seafood every day of the week! DC powered crayfish pot hauler. A legacy of our origins celebrating traditional “working” boats.
︎Contemporary & modern interior
A restrained design sensibility makes for a simple, modern aesthetic that won’t age a day. Every aspect of the interior has been scrutinised over a thirty-year period to reflect a practical and utilitarian vessel. The natural beauty of timber, bronze and the wide-open sea is accentuated at every turn.

Testimonials
“ We believe the market is for twin double cabins with separate bathrooms. To accommodate this, we’ve increased the beam to 16’6”, with only a 5% performance reduction due to her longer length.”
