Motorboat Of The Year, Vela e Motore 2015

The Sundeck 550 collects valid solutions and winning ideas in a 17-meter hull with a refined aesthetic, with a hull that is versatile for different speed needs. The trawler aesthetic lines are dictated by the primary function of seaworthiness: imposing vertical bow, high sides, low aft edge.

Maurizio Zuccheri's Studio has created a convivial boat from the stern to the driving console with a split aesthetic, which integrates the large windows well. The teak interiors are very voluminous, thanks to the significant width of the 5 meters: modular and designed to offer up to four guest cabins plus that of the sailor, optional. However, there is still plenty of space for storage or for two washing machines, such as a travel boat.

A mature vehicle, practical with simple solutions, such as dividing the dockside area, from boarding water, functional with awnings or draining deck water. A modern trawler that well represents Made in Italy with interesting performances and with a stabilizer for extra comfort.

Combining charm, safety, space and good sailing skills make the Sundeck 550 a complete shuttle for a sector that has seen many innovations in the last period.
