2023 Zar Formenti 85 SL

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the deep cockpit and tall tubes give everyone a secure, dry perch even when the chop kicks up. The helm is laid out like a mini sport-yacht, with thickly padded bolster seats that let you run standing or sitting without fatigue. Forward, the bow lounge converts from a huge sunpad to a sociable seating area around a removable table, so you can slide from watersports base to cocktail platform in minutes. Clever storage is tucked under virtually every cushion, swallowing snorkel gear, tow toys, and luggage. At night, subtle courtesy lighting and underwater lights turn the boat into a floating terrace, perfect for a quiet drink after a fast run home.

This hull really shines where shallow sandbars, winding channels, and open stretches of choppy water all blend together. The generous beam and inflatable tubes keep the ride stable when afternoon breezes stack up short, steep waves, while the deep-V slices through with the confidence of a much larger boat. Draft stays modest, so you can nose right up to beaches and swim spots instead of anchoring far off. Abundant deck space and wide side passages make it easy for a crowd to move around safely at anchor. When it’s time to roam farther, the efficient hull and ample fuel capacity turn longer coastal hops into relaxed, quick passages.
