Atlantis's fun all-rounder

published 2 April 2010

Atlantis's new Verve 36 is a "37ft firecracker" that will have you grinning from ear to ear, says David Marsh in Motorboat & Yachting. And that's the most important thing when you buy a boat. If it doesn't make you smile when you cast off, "well, what is the point"?

It's even more fun to drive than its 40 knot top speed might suggest: it's "one of those special boats that feels absolutely right from the moment you carve through the very first turn". The "beautifully shaped hull" gives you a smooth and easy-going ride that will flatter your driving skills, and won't leave you floundering in bad weather.

It's far more than a "tearaway's expensive plaything". The simple accommodation is extremely well designed, bursting with practical details. It's a "truly great all-rounder", as well suited to weekends as to more "intrepid cruising adventures".
