VisionF 80 Review (2022 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The VisionF 80 catamaran, particularly the Black Edition, is noted for its exceptional exterior finish, with its matte black aluminum build that is a standout aesthetic feature. The yacht's design incorporates real teak woodwork, which is not merely bent composite but skillfully formed.

The aft platform is designed to support a 600-kilogram tender, and the yacht's beam creates a vast cockpit area with luxurious space for relaxation.

The flybridge is extensive, showcasing the yacht's generous space allocation. This area is customizable with freestanding furniture, and on this edition, the owner has opted for sunbeds at the rear.

The flybridge is equipped with life rafts, curtain rounds for privacy, and another helm position with IPS controls. Future models, in collaboration with Silent Yachts, propose solar panels in place of some sunbeds to support electric propulsion.

Inside, the VisionF 80 impresses with a spacious saloon surrounded by large upright windows, facilitating a panoramic view and allowing for a refreshing airflow. The galley, located on the lower deck, features expansive work surfaces, significant refrigeration, and a full set of appliances, including ovens and a dishwasher.

The interior finish is characterized by grey Alcantara with orange accents, providing a modern and luxurious atmosphere.

The helm station on the main deck is outfitted with Volvo IPS controls, navigation screens, and throttle controls. The black edition branding is evident here, and the helm offers an excellent vantage point for navigation. The flybridge also includes a helm position, emphasizing the yacht's focus on functionality and ease of operation.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin is wide and spacious, featuring luxurious Alcantara finishes and orange decorative elements. It includes ample wardrobe space and an en suite bathroom with a large rainfall shower, continuing the theme of luxury and comfort found throughout the yacht.

Guest Accommodation

Guest accommodations include two cabins with en suite facilities, large hull windows, and ample storage. Similar to the owner's cabin, these rooms are finished in grey Alcantara and are customizable. For example, one cabin could be converted into an office or gym, according to the owner's needs.

Crew Accommodation

The crew cabins are located at the bow of the yacht and can be accessed from the deck. These spaces are also adaptable and can serve as additional storage if the owner operates the yacht without a crew. Each cabin includes a bed, head, and shower facilities.

The VisionF 80 is propelled by twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 engines, each producing 600 horsepower. Nick discussed the yacht's remarkable fuel efficiency, noting that at 11 knots, the yacht consumes only 55 liters per hour, allowing for a range of 1,300 nautical miles with an 8,000-liter capacity. Future models will further increase the fuel capacity, offering even greater range.

The yacht can reach speeds of up to 20 knots, and the collaboration with Silent Yachts will introduce hybrid or full electric drives, further enhancing the VisionF 80's performance credentials.

Aquaholic's Nick is thoroughly impressed with the VisionF 80 catamaran, particularly praising its customization options, spaciousness, and efficiency. The Black Edition's striking appearance, coupled with the practical and luxurious interior, makes a strong impression.

The yacht's performance, especially its fuel efficiency and range, is noteworthy, and the potential for hybrid or electric propulsion in collaboration with Silent Yachts offers an exciting future prospect.

The VisionF 80 stands out as a versatile and innovative yacht that caters to various preferences and sailing needs.
