Passenger boat 10 m – 12 pax

dieselaluminumexpress-cruiser

Overview
This 10 m aluminium passenger launch with a 3.50 m beam is designed for commercial passenger transport and prepared for French maritime and inland waterway certification. It carries 12 passengers plus the pilot and features a rational deck layout for efficient passenger circulation and comfortable seating. Retrofit options for enhanced passenger experience (100% electric propulsion, parallel hybridisation, acoustic insulation) and for simplified maintenance (deck panels on gas struts above engines, forward workbench, fitted bilge pumps, etc.) are offered by the shipyard.
