Web: Intermare New Web Site

Founded in the nineteen seventies Intermare presents its new internet showroom, taking its clients and friends to a new virtual experience. Oddivio Giusti founder and still owner of Intermare started his boat building experience by presenting models in the market ideally suited for fishing but also featuring an accommodating cruiser interior with highly praised underwater sections which overtime got a well praised name for demanding sea conditions. As time passed the Tuscany builder fleet become more luxurious and modern, but still keeping the sea keeping heritage that made this family owned boat builder among the most respected medium sized boat builders in Italy. Intermare currently produces a seven model line up of cruisers and yachts which start from the entry level 30 Cruise, and goes up to the much appreciated and modern 50 flagship introduced in 2007. Intermare new website takes you around with seven tabs: Intermare, Fleet, Services, Contacts, Events Media, In-shopping, and Used Boats Selection. The new version is so far available only in Italian language, and we hope for it to be soon available in English and other languages too.

Boat Review: Intermare 36 Fly

Presentation
So after some critics from some friends that PowerYacht is too much of the bigger boats, although that is not the case as it is mostly the market which is pushing in that direction, I decided this month to have a better view of a medium sized flybridge cruiser the Intermare 36 Fly. Presented in the 2006 Genova boat show this new Intermare is an interesting entry medium level boat with an overall length of 38 feet. For interested parties Intermare also offers a hard top version named the 36 Cruise, obviously missing the flybridge and second helm station up top.
Accommodation
Medium sized family cruisers of 30 feet plus have been the building foundation of the Intermare brand in the last decade and the 36 Fly is all about being a comfortable family cruiser. It offers 2 cabins both with double berth, with the master stateroom located forward. A separate single shower head is located to port. The saloon located on the main deck features an L-shaped settee with a hidden counter top galley located opposite to the settee to port. The interior helm station with a single seat is situated forward of the L-shaped settee in the saloon area to starboard.
Being a Med based producer the exterior space is pretty good considering the small dimensions of the 36 Fly, offering a very spacious aft deck cockpit, a big bathing platform which can hold a tender and a comfortable fly bridge up top. The fly area is very smart offering a small c-shaped settee, sun pad and a single seated helm station.
Performance
Intermare is renowned for seaworthy boats, and the fact that this model uses tradition shaft driven engines confirms this. The Intermare is also very economical to run with the Yanmar engines which deliver among the best power to weight but also a very good power to consumption levels.
Positive
Aft deck cockpit space
Negative
Low safety railing in flybridge
Competition
As I said in my introduction this size of boat is very much pretty much abandoned by most of the builders, or to be precise by the companies who build a solid reputation around this size of craft in the eighties and nineties. Still if one looks closely at the market there is a handful of new comers but also some old builders who consider this size of utmost importance to there production. Here is what you have to look for:
DellaPasqua DC10S - classic squarish look, seaworthy, big inside with 2 heads
Jeanneau 36 Prestige - more space, similar in size and style
Portofino 37 Fly - gozzo evolution, bunk guest cabin, rich finish, deep around deck
Rodman 38 Yacht - big interior accommodation thanks to IPS propulsion
Sciallino S34 Flybridge - Gozzo modern function, interesting and spacious
Searay 36 Sedan Bridge - spacious, 2 huge cabins 1 head but owner walk in wardrobe
Sealine F37 - spacious, huge galley, 2 big cabins and also 2 heads
WILD CARD: Riviera 3600 Sport Yacht - hard top, patio door opens all, bunk 2nd cabin
Conclusion
The Intermare 36 Fly gives a lot of goods of form and function for an only 38 foot flybridge cruiser. Gone are the days when owning a boat this size was like having a ship, but I am sure that for people trading up this is still the case! Today there is less status symbolism in this dimension, so builders compete on the practical, trying to put a lot in the available size. Sure this was never easy and competition is always as heavy as it ever was. The 36 Fly wins the game if you want a sport looking flybridge boat that does not look heavy: extended fly, extended platform and spacious cockpit all say, I am made for the Med but this is not the only reason for having a look at this good looking flybridge cruiser.
