Posted on:21/06/2016

Yanmar engines are powering the latest, luxury P40 coupé motor yacht from Spirit Yachts.

Spirit yachts, world leaders in modern, classic yacht design, has incorporated practicality as well as beauty into the Spirit P40c, offering the flexibility of either a luxurious leisure motor cruiser or stylish superyacht tender.

Displacing only 4.5 tonnes, the P40c has twin inboard Yanmar 6BY2, 260hp turbocharged diesel engines, which deliver a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. Spirit’s lightweight wood/epoxy construction method and performance design results in an impressive sports boat with effortless handling.

Following a test drive of the P40c, Richard Booth, Project Manager at Superyacht Tenders and Toys commented, “The P40c is a beautifully hand crafted boat, it is superbly finished using the highest quality materials and it oozes style and sophistication on the water. The ride and handling are smooth and responsive. The boat glides effortlessly across the water and it was a joy to helm. This is a boat to be truly proud of and is the definition of a luxury superyacht tender.”

With a ship to shore radio and alternative accommodation layouts available for added crew berths, the P40c is also designed as an elegant and sophisticated superyacht tender. Ideal for trips ashore or as a support boat for a larger classic superyacht, the P40c is guaranteed to turn heads.

Yanmar 54hp inboard diesel engines also powered the Spirit 54, the yacht that was used as Daniel Craig’s transport of choice into Venice in the James Bond film Casino Royale.
