Project: Rio 36 Art, Rio 36 Air

Rio continues to upgrade it's Art range, presenting the project of the 36 Art, an important dimension for the Italian builder, with decades of experience in boat building. Expected to be launched during the Genova boat show, the 36 Art will replace the successful 35 Cruiser after a decade of successful production. The new 36 Art is a model projected with free and spacious spaces in mind, with an airy cockpit offering a settee with removable table, chaise lounge and a dual seated helm station. Inside is where the biggest surprise comes with a 2 cabin 2 head interior, something rare in this size if not unheard of, a c-shaped dinette settee transformable for extra 2 guest berths. The plasma TV in the saloon has also the intelligent revolving feature, as seen on the 44 Art, making it possible to view in the main cabin forward with a small movement. There is also 2 galleys on the 36 Art, one outside in the cockpit, and a second inside. New Rio 36 Art will also be offered with the latest Axius joystick helm system, which can be associated with the new Skyhuke, a single operator navigational system for boats.
The 36 Air will be the hardtop version for the 36 Art, offering all the above plus a full extended hardtop, for all weather navigational cruise, being it boiling sun or raining wet. Launching for this new Air hardtop model is for 2009, but it for sure makes a challenge in this size range.
