What makes the Balt Yacht SunCamper 35 such a great boat for inland cruising?

But what makes the Balt Yacht SunCamper 35 such a great boat for inland cruising?

1, Low-wash hull shape - The original hull shape of the SC35 has very low hydrodynamic resistance, with a flat aft section to minimise wash meaning you can enjoy boating without damaging habitats and disturbing wildlife.

2, Holds its course - The specially designed triple keels offer greater directional stability when underway and limit slip when turning. The keels being the lowest point in the water (0.6m) also protect the gearcase and the propeller of the engine from collisions with underwater obstacles.

3, Easy boarding - Thanks to the low (0.75 m) starboard side, the stern platform (0.45 m) or through the bow gate (0.75 m above the water) the crew has easy access to pontoons, locks, and river banks.

4, Safe deck access - The wider deck with high safety handrails on the portside which also features a side door next to the internal helm position allows for easy access to the bows, where you will find a safe protected seating area perfect for lock work. The port side deck although narrow is still very usable thanks to the high-level grab rails, and both sides are equipped with four cleats for easy docking.

5, Ability to function ‘off grid’ – With up to 225w of solar energy available to keep the batteries topped up, gas cooking, large 240 litre water capacity, diesel cabin heating and a separate diesel powered water heater that can provide 30 litres of hot water in not much more than 30 minutes. You can be ‘off-grid’ with all the comforts of a home away from home, without the need to rely on marina facilities.

We currently have a choice of two new, and a pre-owned Balt Yacht SunCamper 35 available for viewing with us here at Bray Marina, where we can also help with advice on finance options, part exchanges, moorings and tuition for those new to boating.
