This much-anticipated, first premium day boat by Jeanneau received an enthusiastic reception for its world debut in Cannes.
Flexibility is at the core of the DB/43's design, most notably in its innovative cockpit. This space can easily transform from a secure cruising area for up to 12 passengers to a luxurious salon, thanks to pivoting seat backs and a central island galley with an elegant bar style. The inclusion of a modular layout and sliding central bench enables facing seating arrangements for social gatherings around the table.
The DB/43 benefits from an airy deck plan, open to the sea. Together with the aft swim platform, two opening side terraces enable the creation of a true Beach Club environment. This feature, coupled with the fully equipped exterior galley, ensures that hosting and meal preparation becomes part of the day's enjoyment.
The DB/43 is the pure reflection of the creative and innovative vision that has always driven me: the desire to create a timeless, unique model for all those who love the sea."
The DB/43's harmonious interior, bathed in the warmth of White Oak and accented with indirect lighting, prioritizes comfort and luxury, making it perfect for overnight stays with friends.
Entertainment options abound on the DB/43. The aft sun pad, which doubles as a sofa bench at the dining table, offers a relaxed space for alfresco meals, while the wet bar ensures that refreshments are always at hand. The yacht's design also incorporates ample storage for essentials like a Seabob, life raft, and fenders, keeping the deck uncluttered and guest-ready.
Below deck, the DB/43 does not disappoint, boasting remarkable interior volume with two cabins and up to two head compartments. The owner's cabin is notably spacious and bright, while the full-beam guest cabin features a double berth with an additional third possible berth. The head compartment is designed with a separate shower, providing an added layer of comfort to the already luxurious accommodations.
The helm area is equipped with three adjustable seats, complete with bolster cushions and armrests, ensuring a comfortable and commanding piloting experience. The yacht's navigational setup is enhanced by the short boarding gate adjacent to the helm, which allows for easy access to docks of suitable height.
At the heart of the DB/43's seafaring capabilities is a superb V-shaped hull designed by Michael Peters Yacht Design, offering excellent seakeeping and a smooth ride. The model comes in two versions to suit various preferences: an inboard version powered by twin Volvo D6-380 engines and an outboard version with the option of triple 300 or 350 HP engines. This flexibility ensures that the DB/43 can cater to both the thrill-seeker and the cruising connoisseur.
With its elegant design, advanced features, and adaptable spaces, Jeanneau's DB/43 is more than equipped to deliver unforgettable experiences on the water.
