VENTURA 5.5M HALF CABIN MKII Where the Viking is essentially a hard core fishing boat that can be customised for additional comforts and social use, the Ventura is a comfortable half cabin boat, ideal for family and social boating with the capacity to also work very well in fishing situations. It is important to note that all of the heavy duty fittings created for hard working offshore boats carry through into these family models to ensure the highest standards of safety and a very long life for the boat. A full half cabin, the Ventura features comfortable 1.82m (six foot) bunks with cloth covered cushions that have stowage space below. With the optional in-fill cushion in place this makes up into a large double berth. The dash has been recessed on the port side to improve cabin access, and a soft cover with clips and zips is available to completely enclose the cabin for privacy. A similar helm console to the Viking is utilised, putting all of the important gauges and electronics where they are most easily sighted and accessed. A high, heavily framed wraparound glass windscreen delivers high levels of protection from the wind, and heavy duty stainless steel grab-rails are fitted throughout the boat for passenger security. A full width rear folding bench seat with a 5cm thick wrap-around back rest brings the standard seating capacity up to five adults. The standard Ventura is presented in a low maintenance fitup for those who will use the boat for fishing and general family operations. For those seeking a greater level of comfort and superior appearance, a luxurious wrap-around rear lounge is available, along with heavy duty carpeting, interior lining and padded cockpit coaming surrounds. A great new design innovation on the new Ventura is the way the aft deck and storage wells have been handled. The wells are normally located either side of the aft deck, so you have a full height aft deck then a big drop down to the boarding steps, which can make life quite difficult for small or less agile people when boarding the boat from the shore. Seafarer has taken these wells out of the aft deck and located them at mid height on the transom to create an intermediate step for those coming on board. It works brilliantly to make boarding a much easier, and safer business. |
