Examining the Balt Yachts Sun Camper 31: A Refreshing New Option in Yacht Design
The Balt Yachts Sun Camper 31 debuts, offering an affordable cruising option
The Balt Yachts Sun Camper 31, displayed at the 2024 Southampton Boat Show, stands out as an affordable, practical cruising solution for buyers. This Polish-built vessel presents an appealing alternative to the high-priced new boats on exhibit, and boasts more than just a competitive price tag.
Providing sleeping accommodations for up to seven individuals, this small cruiser offers versatility for families. There are two berths in the aft cabin, two on the convertible dinette, two in the forward double, and a single berth beneath the saloon. The well-appointed galley features a gas stove and oven, ideal for off-grid cooking, along with a properly-sized heads compartment complete with a pull-out shower.
Equipped with separate Eberspacher heating and hot water systems, as well as an ePropulsion electric outboard motor, this vessel promises year-round usability and silent operation on lakes and rivers, thanks to an ample battery pack enabling 16 hours of motoring between charges.
What truly impressed attendees is the vessel's enjoyable living space. With floor-to-ceiling windows, a sliding helm door, and a large Plexiglass sunroof, guests and the skipper enjoy ample light, fresh air, and views, regardless of the weather. The aft cockpit, which offers roll-down covers and its own separate sunroof, affords the same experience for the outdoor space. Even a charming bow seat adds to the boat's allure.
Though not the most visually striking craft, its unassuming approach to affordable family boating is admirable. If you're interested in the Balt Yachts Sun Camper 31, head to braymarinesales.com for more information.
