Best of Boats, all the 6 winners of 2019
Best for Fun – Frauscher 1414 Demon Air
The new Frauscher 1414 Demon Air is a boat with high performance. A high performance daycruiser with straight and vertical bow, Z-shaped sides and frameless windshield. The most appreciated feature of the Frauscher 1414 Demon is the T-top made of carbon fibre and weighing only 150 kilos, a design object. For those who want to be more daring, it is possible to use the pair of inboard engines with a 520 hp petrol duo-prop system.
Loa: 13.90 m – B.max: 3.90 m – Engine 2×400 – 2×520 HP petrol or diesel
Best for Fishing – Jeanneau Merry Fisher 605 Marlin
A high performance, stable and safe hull, combined with a layout that makes it one of the ideal fishing boats. Aft two large beaches around the outboard and space in the cockpit. Its outboard motor makes it even more versatile. The wheelhouse is covered at the front, but open to the cockpit for quick access to the controls. In bad weather, however, it can be completely closed. Below deck there is space for a small forward cabin. The standard engine is a 115 horsepower outboard.
Silver Tiger DCz is the smallest of the fiberglass models from Silver Boats, Z range. It is a compact but at the same time comfortable and functional day cruiser suitable for families and groups of friends. The hull was designed with Swedish Petestep technology. The design was carried out by the Norwegian design agency Eker Design AS. This boat has a forward cabin and space for a chemical toilet. The cockpit is well designed so that it is functional and comfortable. All counters, controls and chartplotter are easily operated whether you drive the boat seated or standing. Thanks to the driver’s seat in the open sea you can enjoy a great driving comfort both standing and sitting. The windscreen, thanks to its shape and the side windows that extend along the sides of the boat, offers ample shelter. Engines between 115 and 150 horsepower.
The Marex 360 Cabriolet Cruiser is open with a fully openable hard top that boasts one of the largest wells for this type of boat: no boat under 40 feet has it bigger. A project designed for those who do not spend much time below deck, but prefer life … on the surface. Up to 10 people sit around the table. In order not to give up space to store what you want to take on a cruise, the Norwegian shipyard Marex has inserted waterproof containers foamed under the seats.

Innovation
Candela is really something else. We tested this electric boat that you can use just like a normal boat. It’s a 7.7-meter bowrider to navigate for two hours at 25 knots. It can reach up to 30 knots, if I wish, and at cruising speed (and including the reserve) it has over 58 miles of autonomy. Design with a Nordic and essential style, Candela Speedboat is as traditional in shape and category as it is innovative under the waterline. Not just for foils, but for how foils behave. The foil control system makes the boat efficient and easy to use. Let’s go in order. (READ HERE TEST)
