With these is extended, a typical phenomenon on the latest generation of motorboats, the surface area on board. The console is made with a refined style but it is also practical. And the ergonomics of the driver’s seat is particularly cared for.
Below decks the Sessa Key Largo 40 is well lit by the panoramic side windows, present on the hull, giving great visibility and an enviable view, a real window to the sea.

It is in fact proposed with a variety of options in terms of materials and color, giving the owner the possibility to express his taste and personality.
You can also choose from a wide range of options, including the possibility of installing a sports T-top in carbon fiber, with a carbon look effect, a material that allows you to significantly reduce weight while maintaining the right rigidity.
The first model, arriving in September, will be presented with particular emphasis on the contrasts between the different materials used. When is the appointment? In September 2020, when the shipyard will present the new model at sea.
