Invictus TT460

From the town of Borgia in Catanzaro, Italy, comes the Invictus TT460, a chic dayboat that has a little something for everyone.

Perhaps the two most striking things about this boat’s exterior aesthetics are her forward-thinking axe bow and her wide range of color schemes, which come in two tones. A carbon fiber T-top complements the low-profile design of the sheerline and also helps keep the boat’s center of gravity low for excellent seakeeping. The Invictus TT460 was dreamed up by renowned Italian designer Christian Grande, who imbued her with a no muss, no fuss personality that nevertheless does nothing to sacrifice elegance.

Sunpads on the bow deck and at the transom make this boat’s place as a temple for sun worshippers patently clear. They are connected by a comfortable walkway, which is very helpful when docking. At the same time, an ergonomic helm with excellent sightlines will make any captain smile. Top speed is 35.5 knots, while she cruises quite happily at 25 knots. Hardover at cruise, she can do a full about-face in about three boat lengths.

Foldout terraces to either side of the cockpit make this boat’s outdoor entertainment spaces even larger than her 14-foot, 6-inch beam, which makes her an excellent choice for a day of waterborne fun anchored in your favorite cove. That cockpit has twin high-low tables and a small galley in the aft section of the console. The dining area can also convert into yet another lounge space.

And when playtime is over, the boat has two sleeping areas down below, including a forepeak queen berth and twin berths amidships. That means she is big enough for a getaway with two couples — be it to the coast of Sardinia or Mackinac Island.
