Sealine C430 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Sealine C430 is a coupé, with a low profile and a large opening roof. There is also a flybridge version available.

The yacht has a fixed bathing platform, equipped with a crane that also acts as a passerelle for lifting a dinghy on and off. There is also the option of a hi-lo platform. The yacht has the adaptability to endure different weather conditions, with the ability to quickly enclose the seating area during colder days and open it up during warmer ones.

At the bow there are lovely front-facing seats, which could be laid flat and extend the sunbed. Also highlighted are the cushions to make an entertaining area here.

Heading inside, the galley layout is impressive, and has been specified to have gas cooking. There were plenty of storage spaces and neat lighting. Opposite the galley were a fridge and a freezer. The social area at the front had a TV lift, enhancing the yacht's luxury feel. The yacht features a large opening sliding roof, which allowed for plenty of natural light.

The lower helm position is showcased with its ability to transform into part of the social area, with a motor that lowers it down. The helm position itself is well equipped with a tilt wheel, throttles, a joystick for maneuvering the boat, and a multifunction display that showed the reversing camera view, among other things.

The lower deck offers a few layout options, such as having scissor beds in the front cabin or having a full-beam master cabin. The master cabin on this Sealine C430, has a double bed, plenty of storage, and an ensuite. 

The yacht is powered by a pair of Volvo Penta IPS-500 engines, each with 370 horsepower. The boat could reach around 30 knots, though there was an option for IPS-600 engines for more power. Also noted is the central heating system and the hot water tank, both located in the engine room.

Overall, Nick was very impressed with the Sealine C430, appreciating its versatility, luxury features, and the clever use of space.
