The sportsbridge fuses sports yacht and flybridge design into one sophisticated boat. Often referred to as the best of both worlds, these yachts have sleek performance looks allied to a discreet upper deck, that might not be as big as a flybridge but offers a great driving position and planet you space for guests.
At the same time you win a sports yacht's aft deck, with lounge seating, wet bar, sun pad and a tender garage.
As a more recent yacht type, buyers will find a far smaller selection of for sale sportsbridge models when compared to, say, a sports yacht. But with model choice growing all the time, new yacht buyers will enjoy an excellent selection.
Features of the sportsbridge will include that great upper deck but also a sunroof into the deck salon below. These yachts should also come equipped with big engines for maximum speeds well above 30 knots.
Yacht sizes tend towards the upper end of owner operation, at 15m-20m.
