Introducing Seven Seas Yachts
At Spring Brook, we are always striving to find manufacturers offering unique quality boats for our customers throughout the Midwest. We are excited to announce our partnership with Seven Seas Yachts. Seven Seas was founded in 2011 with one purpose in mind; to produce yachts that excel in every aspect of yacht design and production. The philosophy includes attention to detail, performance, and quality to produce the boating excellence. Seven Seas incorporates the ideal balance of tradition and technology. From molding the hull to applying the name, a Seven Seas Yacht is entirely created by skilled craftsmen. There is no compromise. Every installation is meticulously engineered. Every stage of the build is monitored to the most exact standards to give you the dependability that inspires the confidence to venture far offshore.
After 3 years of research and development Seven Seas Yachts has created a new revolutionary yacht series that delivers unprecedented levels of performance, efficiency and seaworthiness. The yachts are based on patented Amfihull®, on their sleek design which features an ultra-low profile and on engineering innovations such as the patented EDS® driveline system. The combination of all these gave birth to a legendary series of yachts including the Hermes Speedster & Venus Speedster.
If the Hermes Speedster existed in their time, the Ancient Greek gods would have been proud to have the name of their messenger over the water. Now it is possible to cruise on the water with the boat of god Hermes. There Hermes Speedster is a neat classic styled runabout with traits reminiscent from the 1959 Porsche 356 and the gentleman style runabout boats of the 30s. Hermes successfully combines luxury, efficiency, style, and comfort. Each piece of the interior from the seats to the steering wheel to the speakers and switches is especially designed and hand crafted with attention to detail. The Hermes Speedster is not a mere copy and paste of the 356, but various classic design cues such as the shape of the windshield, front seats, dashboard, and intake grills have inspired design elements on the Hermes, but even with just those few traits you get a 356 vibe just from looking at the boat.
The all new Venus Speedster was designed for those who have a deep appreciation for high quality and sophisticated design. Heavily influenced by her successor the Hermes, Venus comes to offer something new while maintaining the principles of the Hermes. Notably bigger and faster, Venus offers increased comfort and luxury. This new runabout can accommodate up to 8 people while 2 can stay overnight comfortably in the front cabin.
A lot of research has been directed towards developing the perfect hull for Seven Sea's yachts. The main concern was achieving the best performance from the hull regarding its efficiency and seaworthiness while at the same time it had to be strikingly beautiful. The hull’s performance characteristics are truly staggering. First of all it has a very low drag resistance which allows the use of smaller engines than similar sized boats while still being faster than its competitors. It features a really steep entry cutting the waves with an entry angle of 72 degrees that in combination with the rest of the hull, ensures a very soft ride with no pounding as the boat cuts through the waves. Furthermore the boats maintain at all cruising speeds very low trim angles between 2 and 2,8 degrees. Unlike other motor boats, there is no specific speed at which they transition to plane. Instead as the speed increases, they gradually come out of the water maintaining a nearly horizontal attitude at all times. In these boats there is no hump coming on plane. This means that one can cruise at any speed from as low as 5 knots up to the boat’s maximum speed. The boats also feature tremendous stability characteristics due to their extremely low center of gravity. They are very stable when cruising and are able to recover from heeling angles as big as 98 degrees. These are numbers that can only be compared with those from sail boats. Every yacht in the line will provide a legendary combination of effortless performance, magnificent ride, exceptional economy and ease of handling.
With a 2022 Hermes Speedster and a 2022 Venus Speedster coming in this spring to Spring Brook Marina, we are excited to represent this range throughout the Midwest. We imagine the Hermes cruising the waters in Lake Geneva or hopping on board the Venus for a quick ride to dinner in Lake Charlevoix. "The iconic lines of the Hermes and Venus Speedsters not only redefine luxury day boating, they standout amongst the crowd of ordinary day boats." says Spring Brook Marina Owner Kyle Stenzel. "If you are looking for something to turn heads, you've found it with Seven Seas Yachts." For more information on Seven Seas Yachts, contact our Yacht Specialists by email sales@springbrookmarina.com.
