Two ideas for cruising with a 12-meter outboard

Is a 12-meter open boat enough for cruising? Maybe a boat born for sporty day trips? Thanks to the evolution of boats, which are increasingly wider and have spaces that were once unthinkable, today even a dinghy or open boat can fulfill the dual function of being an ideal boat for swimming and cruising around the Mediterranean, with almost daily stops certain. But certainly enjoying every moment to the fullest with some autonomy as well.

What’s more, the hulls are now more efficient and, combined with more fuel-efficient engines, allow you to sail long distances without spending a fortune with good range.

And cruising today you don’t just go there with inboard engines, but also with a nice pair of powerful outboards. And don’t think that outboards are less safe than inboards. Even for long sailings.

Cruising with a 12-meter open outboard

At Milan Yachting Week – The digital boat show you will find two excellent examples of what we are telling you at the dock. We are talking about the Sacs Rebel 40 and the open Fjord 38 Xpress.

Two state-of-the-art 12-meter boats found in the Milan Yachting Week powerboat harbor.

Sacs Rebel 40: double cabin and two 425-hp outboards

If your preference is for a boat with tubulars instead of the traditional fiberglass hull the Sacs Rebel 40 is for you.

Thanks to the careful work of designer Christian Grande, this elegant Sacs Rebel 40 12.32 m x 3.98 wide has an interior worthy of a boat born only for cruising. Four beds you can get a good look at by watching videos, photos and accurate floor plans here.

Two cabins with double beds, a bathroom with shower, closets are perfect for a cruise, away from the home port for even a week.

Motorization can be inboard with 2 Volvo D 380 hp diesel or outboard with 2 Yamaha 425 hp. The capacity of the two fuel tanks is an impressive 1,100 liters.

To see why this is a perfect boat for dual day use and cruising climb aboard the Sacs Rebel 40.

Fjord 38 Xpress: a sumptuous double and an open air kitchen

If you want to understand what the solution is instead, again 12/13 meters, with a fiberglass hull, here is the right example you can find in our digital boat show. The Fjord 38 Xpress. It is an 11.63 m x 3.64 m wide walkaround “med boat” with a sumptuous double cabin in the bow and a beautiful bathroom with shower. Instead, the super-equipped kitchen is located on the deck, open air.

You just have to get on board here to understand with photos, videos, data sheet and floor plans what possibilities the Fjord 38 Xpress offers for even week-long cruising use away from the usual port. As for the engine, the Fjord Xpress 38 includes two 350-hp outboards and has a fuel tank capacity of 758 liters.
