Positives: Rapide is a great-value, no-frills cruiser. Offering dual steering positions, you can choose to helm from the elevated exterior deck and soak in the scenery, or stay warm and dry at the interior helm in the comfortable saloon. The layout includes two versatile cabins that can be configured as either doubles or singles, each with its own ensuite shower room for added convenience. With bow thrusters on board, mooring is made simple. An ideal choice for four people.
Negatives: Access steps into the boat are quite steep and may not be suitable for everyone. The forward saloon area has quite a low height ceiling - tall people beware. There's limited seating up top alongside the flying bridge steering position.
Rapide dimensions: 12.80m x 3.66m (42ft x 12ft)
