Sealine S390 Review (2023 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Stepping aboard, there is a spacious cockpit area. The boat has a wide design, which offers a lot of space. Highlighted is a sliding roof that provides shade and, when closed, gives a more open experience.

On the outside, the boat's security features are praised, including rails that start at the back and make the boat feel safe to walk around. There's also a sliding roof that can be closed for shelter, and sun beds on the front under a canopy.

One feature that particularly impresses is the seating arrangement. Unlike most boats that have a sideways seat, the S390 offers four forward-facing seats. This might seem awkward at first glance, but Nick demonstrates that it’s a surprisingly comfortable and relaxed way to sit. This also allows for the space to be used twice – for the cabin underneath and for seating.

The helm features a multi-function display, twin engines, and autopilot. Also highlighted is the boat's saloon and galley, which emphasizes space and comfortable living. There's is a height-adjustable table, gas cooking and a decent-sized sink.

The S390 has an owner's cabin with a central double bed, a day heads with ensuite access, and another cabin that can comfortably sleep three people. These design choices make the boat feel larger than its sub-40-foot size.

In terms of engines, the Sealine S390 is powered by a pair of Volvo Penta D6-380 engines, which give the boat a top speed of about 34 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots.

In conclusion, Nick appreciates the Sealine S390 for its open cockpit design, spaciousness, and thoughtful features. However, he acknowledges that the choice between the S390 and the C390 will depend on individual preferences and boating needs.
