Project: Aqualum 33

Aqualum with its designer Fabian Conte shows the project for a new entry level model, the 33.  The Aqualum is a hard top sports cruisers which will see the extension of this Argentinan boat builder, into smaller models.  At the moment the smallest Aqualum is the 35, which has had a good run of success in Southern European sales.  A spacious single level aft deck will welcome people onboard the 33, this featuring a C-shaped settee, small sun pad, relaxing chair, and helm station.  Below is an area which sleeps a total of six, in a different to the standard of the size planned area.  The first surprise is that the Aqualum 33 will a full beam midships cabin separated by door, and the second is the open area to fore with galley, L-shaped settee, and a double bed to fore.  Power is from twin Volvo 260hp diesel engines which with Aqualum giving estimated max speed of 35 knots.

Project: Aqualum 40 HT

Again a design of Fabian Conte, the Aqualum 40 HT is the coupe sport cruiser version of the recently launched 38 of this South American boat builder.  As other builders Aqualum makes a sport version by using most of the hull and deck of the 38, but featuring a slightly different super structure missing the flybridge.  The Aqualum 40 HT will feature a living on the main deck with cabins below.  Large window with similar or identical shape of the 38 surround the main deck, plus the extension of extra glass surfaces on the hard top.  The aft deck will feature a C-shaped settee which can transform to a sunbed by lowering the central table.  Power choice for the Aqualum 40 HT has not yet been announced but I would imagine a similar choice as the 38, with engines starting from twin Volvo 300 up to 435hp.

New Model: Aqualum 38

Aqualum is a South American boat builder from Argentina, and after showing its 38 as a project it finally launches this model.  Designed by Fabian Conte, the Aqualum 38 should follow up on the success that the 35 model provided for the South American boat builder especially in Southern Europe, thank to a well planned strategy of a competitive price.  The 38 is a flybridge motor cruiser with a traditional two cabins layout. But here is also an interesting how the galley although in a lower level was used in a more astern position, giving more space to the cabins located to fore.  Power is from twin Volvo 300 or optional 435hp with shaft line propulsion. Speed is a max of 32 knots with the optional large units.

Project: Aqualum 38

Argentinan builder Aqualum presents the new 38 project. A new model set to fill the gap between the successful 35 and 43-45 models. As all Aqualum's in the range the new 38 follows the flybridge motor cruiser concept, with a Mediterranean Italian design influence. Its interior accommodation is a twin cabin single head layout, with an owners cabin with queen size berth located to fore, and a double guest cabin to port. Main deck features a split level area, with a lounging l-shaped settee upon entering and further forward offering the galley to port and helm station to starboard. The galley is unusual in this position for this size, take it as a steal from bigger boats but this works better to one situated on the lower deck. Having this layout up top I am still surprised not seeing 2 heads and a 3 cabin version! Propulsion and engines are so far not announced, although the plans show rear positioned engines with u-drive unit, and classic straight shaft propulsion.

Project: Aqualum 55

Argentine builder Aqualum, after presenting two successful flybridge motor cruisers of 35 and 43 feet, continue to upgrade its range, this time entering in the over 50 plus feet motor yacht territory. With the new 55, Aqualum present a modern flybridge motor yacht, with an Italian Mediterranean design flare to its lines, also offering alternative layouts for the lower deck especially to what regards the cabin numbers. The Aqualum 55 is in fact offered in 3 different lower deck versions: layout 1 offers 3 cabins with the much requested full beam owners cabin with ensuite head VIP cabin to fore guest cabin with bunk beds in between and guest head, layout 2 is a similar plan accept for the master cabin where the en-suite head gets bigger with a bidet and a separate shower stall to starboard, layout 3 get a completely different layout offering a 4 cabin 2 head version with master cabin to fore and the fourth cabin in bunks, what can be an ideal big family or charter business solution. On the main split level saloon deck, the layout is somehow also a bit different to what the competition offers. The lower aft part here offers the galley located at stern to starboard, allowing easy communication with the exterior aft deck, with the upper fore area having the l-shaped settee with dining table to port, and to starboard the helm station. On the fly we have a traditional u-shaped settee, with a sunpad aft plan but also here Aqualum left a free space where a moving deck chair can be placed. Power to push the 26 ton 55 will be from twin 800hp engines, with speed figures so far not announced.
