American Bow, Adventure Hull - Tested Where It Actually Matters

Since discovering Aiata Boats earlier in 2025 I have had my eye on this company. Their design is somewhere in the middle of a US style hull and a Euro Adventure hull with a mix of performance and fuel efficiency plus loads of useable volume and deck space. THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS Mention code DBL for discounts on Marine Mold Construction https://ms-marine.eu/ So when I was offered another opportunity to trial their 38 Wayfinder with Mercury 400Hp outboards plus loaded with weight from the Genset, gyro and A/C I was keen to see how the boat felt. The team behind this brand have the vision and the backing to create something cool and having seen the drawings for their multiple new models both on the way and also on the drawing board I'd suggest if you are looking at an American build big brand boat or a European alternative then you really should invest the time and compare it with the Aiata. Bang for your buck this is an interesting boat!
