Easily one of the most interestin­g boats at this year’s show, the 660 is a larger flybridge version of the wildly innovative Beachclub 600, launched earlier this year.

The Flybridge version gains yet more external living space with enough room on the foredeck for seating, a sunpad and a place to stow the tender. The big news though is the incredible water-level saloon with sliding doors that open on to the bathing platform. This boat tears up the rule book in all the right ways.

Accessed via a central walkway, the accommodat­ion is forward on the lower deck with three cabins comprising two guest twins and a master. There’s more smart thinking here as the bed faces forward rather than being tucked into the point of the bow facing aft.

This means those in bed can enjoy the view through the windows that wrap around the bow. It’s a potential showstoppe­r, for sure.
