Verdict
The Sicilboat Speeder 560 is a compact 18-foot motorboat aimed at day cruising and short coastal hops. With a 100 hp outboard and capacity for 6 people, it should deliver straightforward, practical performance rather than standout speed or luxury.
Pros
- +Compact size makes it easy to berth and use in tight marinas
- +100 hp setup is suitable for casual coastal cruising
- +Seats up to 6, which is useful for a small day boat
- +Simple layout likely keeps ownership and charter costs moderate
Cons
- −Limited length means less space and less protection from weather
- −Not a cabin cruiser in any meaningful sense despite the yacht label
- −Best suited to day use rather than overnight comfort
- −Performance will be functional, not especially fast or refined
The Sicilboat Speeder 560 is a compact open motorboat, listed at 5.6 m (18.0 ft) with a 100 hp engine and space for 6 people. Public charter listings describe it as a 2010 boat, refitted in 2023, which suggests a basic but maintained small-craft platform rather than a new-generation design.[1][2][5][7]
On the water, this size and power combination points to practical coastal performance: enough thrust for relaxed cruising and getting around islands or bays, but not the kind of acceleration or ride softness associated with larger or more heavily engineered planing boats. The short hull should make it responsive and easy to maneuver, though it will also be more affected by chop than a bigger boat.[1][2]
Comfort is limited by the boat’s scale. The available public information does not confirm cabins or overnight amenities, so it should be treated as a day boat first and foremost, with sitting space for a small group rather than real livability. For buyers or charter guests prioritizing simplicity, low complexity, and easy handling, it offers reasonable value; those wanting sheltered seating, overnight capability, or more premium finishes should look higher up the size range.[1][2][5]
