2005 Apreamare Don Giovanni 11

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much beam Apreamare sneaks into 36 feet—the wide walkaround decks and high bulwarks give a secure, “big boat” feel underway. The teak details, from the cap rails to the cockpit sole, add that warm, traditional character that’s getting harder to find in newer designs. Visibility from the helm is excellent thanks to the low profile and generous glass, making close-quarters maneuvering far less stressful. Below, the joinery work feels more like a custom yacht than a production cruiser, with thoughtful storage and solid hardware. This is the kind of boat that draws second glances at the dock and feels equally at home on a quick afternoon hop or an unhurried weekend escape.

For warm, often choppy coastal conditions, this hull form really shines. The Don Giovanni 11 carries its beam well forward, giving a stable platform when guests are moving about and when you’re lying to anchor off a sandbar or quiet cove. The open deck layout invites outdoor living, while the protected helm keeps the driver comfortable during sudden squalls or squirt-gun rain showers. Shallow-draft friendly for exploring nearshore waters, yet substantial enough to handle afternoon sea breezes, it bridges the gap between dayboat and cruiser. Efficient diesel power and ample lounging space make it ideal for long, social days on the water in this boating-centric region.
