Bayliner Boats wants to get people out on the water. With the global launch of the Bayliner M19 in Düsseldorf the US manufacturer with production facilities in the USA and Europe demonstrates how to do it right: keeping things simple, easy to handle and therefore impressive.
The 5.79 m powerboat lies on the water like a catamaran and, hence, cruises safely and true to course like on rails. By the shipyard’s accounts, canting is therefore a thing of the past. This added safety has been confirmed by initial test cruises prior to the official launch.
The entry-price boat features room for eight passengers who can make themselves comfortable both behind the cockpit and in front of the front screen. After all the Bayliner M19 is a ‘bowrider’ – the traditional name for powerboats that also offer fully upholstered forward seating for passengers.
There is storage galore: in the forecastle below the seating in the bow, below the aft seating, in the centre console. In the bow section an optional table can be installed making the Bayliner M19 a floating picnic area.
