With a wide array of excellent boat choices, choosing a cruiser boat can be fun and challenging at the same time. To help you make the best choice, it’s important to have a clear idea of the main purpose you intend to use the boat for.
If you’re into fun, adventure, and challenges, cruiser sports boats are perfect for you. However, you need to decide which side has a greater importance to you and your family; are you after the “sports” side or the “cruiser” side? Choose only between internal accommodation or dynamic performance.
But, what really are sports cruiser boats? Let’s take a closer look.
Sports cruisers yachts such as the models under Oryx Yachts series, are the sea-borne equivalent of a sports car. These types of sea sports boats are designed with high performance in terms of layout, size, and specs and have relatively fast cruising speeds. Any type of this boat is required to meet two major requirements; (1) it needs to be designed as a sporting vessel, (2) it needs to have a feature of a dedicated cabin with enough space to accommodate at least two passengers.
You have two options to choose --- a diesel or a petrol engine cruiser. Diesel can be a good choice for cruising 30-foot and more, while petrol engine cruiser is increasingly being used to great effect. Both types, however, are safe at sea and are is easy to handle.
For sports cruisers, maximum horsepower (HP) engine are highly recommended as they are used for extended days with heavy loads. In the case of smaller motors, it needs to work too hard which can burn more fuel compared to maximum HP engine.
Size is an important consideration when choosing a boat and the number of people staying on board can determine the size of the sports cruiser you’re more likely to choose. A perfect boat for a family of four is at least a 28-foot sports cruiser, with a forward bed for parents and bunk for kids. For a two adult passengers, a boat with double bunk can be good choice.
Before buying a boat, it can also be a good idea to check the interior and exterior of the boat. Sports cruiser with wider beam are more likely to have wider internal space with a larger cabin, separate sleeping areas and wide variety of extra amenities and upscale perks and facilities.
