Used boats, 5 classic fast cruisers not to be missed

Fast cruisers are boats with pure lines. Very tight, they have aggressive hulls to “bite” the water. This type of boat is the beating heart of many shipyards. Those who prefer essentiality to design evolutions. But with a style that makes them unmistakable. However, this does not mean spartan accommodations, quite the contrary. Fast cruisers are not lacking in living spaces, often elegant, to navigate comfortably even on long cruises. Here are five models from 11.30 to 18.30 meters in length. Their debut date ranges from the end of the 1980s, for the great classics, to the end of the first decade of the 2000s. A boon for those looking for a used fast cruiser.
