Seven Seas Venus Speedster

With a nod back to 1930s boat design and a view of the future, Seven Seas Yachts presents its Venus Speedster.

Showing off a daring and unique exterior profile and an impressive interior, she is a guaranteed head-turner wherever she goes.

“Appealing to vintage boat and classic car enthusiasts, the Speedster design is incredibly unique with luxurious elements,” says Kristen Keegan for Spring Brook Marine Group.

To that point, you would be hard-pressed to find any straight lines aboard; instead, your eye will follow all the curves and pleasant cambers from the distinctive stainless steel framed windshield to her bow and stern. The interior is all hand-finished with fine leather seats, carpets and trim — all customizable. Should you wish, the convertible top is easily deployed. Seven Seas has also given her owners the option of picking any hull color, as well as matching it to either a car or yacht.

“Looking at the interior, you can see each detail, from the stitching on the seats to the speakers, has remarkable attention to detail for a boat this size,” Keegan says.

With her good looks comes exciting performance due to a choice of a Rotax 1630 Jet, available in either 170-, 230- and 300-hp and her patented Amfihull. A steep entry transitions to a bottom providing stability and presenting low drag resistance. The Venus Speedster, with her low center of gravity, can result in a WOT speed of 58 mph, according to Seven Seas. The company also claims an average consumption of 8 mpg, making it extremely efficient.

The result of three years of research and development, the Speedster series is ready to take its rightful place in a special section of personal craft well-suited to a wide variety of applications, including exclusive megayacht tenders.
