New Model: Portofino 11 Fly

The new 11 has been a much expected launch from Portofino Marine, a builder from Liguria, Italy. High respected Portofino, which I saw in the Genoa show a couple of years ago and impressed me with the original design, quality finishing, and for the classic looks they enjoy, but with a modern attitude of practicality and profile. New Portofino 11 Fly was announced a year ago as a project, and the surprise was it being offered with Volvos latest propulsion revolution, forward looking IPS pod drives. For a builder who all its boats, from the small 750 is in shafts that was a huge surprise. Another news for Portofino, is that of the side decks which for the 11, it abandoned the walk around deep bulwarks usually used on its models. Sleeping accommodation of the 11 Fly offered two cabins, a master cabin forward and bunk double guest to starboard. To port we have the head, enjoying a spacious shower. The welcoming upper deck features a c-shaped saloon to starboard which transforms to a double berth, a galley opposite and the interior helm station. Top speeds is 34 knots with IPS 400 engines. As announced in the project the 11 will be also available as Hard Top and open Spider variants, but so far only the flybridge was presented, so we have to wait for further news by Portofino on the different versions.
