We just loved the sleek, sexy styling of this new Hermes Speedster created by Seven Seas Yachts.
It is a neat classic-styled runabout with traits reminiscent of the 1959 Porsche 356 and the gentleman-style runabout boats of the 30s’.
The Hermes Speedster can cruise from 5mph up to 45mph, as the boat maintains shallow trim angles between 2 and 2.8 degrees at all speeds. Hermes ensures a very soft, safe, and fun ride considering all the above, the very low centre of gravity and the surprisingly low weight. Of course, let’s not forget about the excellent fuel economy, as the Hermes Speedster consumes on average 0.5lpnm. That makes the Speedster fuel-efficient and eco-friendly.
The Rotax 1503NA 155hp powers it. With only 0.27m (0.9ft) of the draft, the Hermes Speedster can access any exotic beach despite how shallow the waters may be.
The low weight of 680kg, the jet drive propulsion and the weak draft will let you take it out on the sand with ease and comfort. Its LOA is 6.75m, and the beam is only 1.8m. Its dimensions and low weight make it easy and comfortable to tow the Hermes Speedster with any car.
Seven Seas Yachts is a UK luxury brand founded in 2011 with the development of the Hermes Speedster started in 2015, while in 2017, they decided to begin the production of the model. Furthermore, in 2018 the Hermes Speedster was awarded as a boat of the year 2018 by HISWA. In 2020, the Hermes Speedster is sold in Europe, Australia and the Americas.
Consider the latest Hermes Speedster model from UK-based Seven Seas Yachts as a Porsche 356 for the sea, with a futuristic twist.
. While the body pays homage to the German marque’s early, now iconic “bathtub” design, power is delivered from a silent, zero-emission 100 kW electric motor juiced by a 30 kWh battery pack.\
Design cues inspired by the classic Porsche Speedster include a cut-down, chrome-framed windshield, bucket seats, chrome-ringed retro gauges in a leather dash, twin-grated air intakes on the rear sun pad and a 356-style folding cloth top. The boat’s elegant profile is so proportionally correct that it could be mistaken for a 75-year-old custom design, particularly with its retro-looking convertible top that sets up in seconds. All the stylings of a classic car.
