Verdict
A practical, versatile open boat with good beam, sensible layout and strong all-round handling for day cruising. It is not the most spacious or luxurious 22-footer, but it offers solid performance and a well-balanced package for family use.
Pros
- +Wide 2.55 m beam aids stability and usable deck space
- +Up to 225 hp gives strong acceleration and top-end potential
- +Self-bailing cockpit and integrated tanks suit practical ownership
- +Accommodates up to 8 people within CE category C limits
Cons
- −Open layout offers limited overnight privacy and weather protection
- −Cabin is basic for a boat with one-cabin listing
- −Dry weight is moderate, so performance depends heavily on engine choice
- −Shorter cruising comfort than on larger cabin boats
The Quicksilver Activ 675 Open is a compact day boat built around a practical open-deck layout. Its 6.66 m overall length and 2.55 m beam give it a stable footprint, while the hull is sized to carry up to eight people and a maximum of 225 hp. In 2015-era form, it sits in the category of versatile family runabouts rather than premium sportsboats.
On the water, the 675 Open is generally regarded as efficient and predictable, with handling that benefits from the wide beam and relatively moderate draft. With the right engine, it should plane cleanly and feel secure in turns and at cruising speed, but it is best matched to outboard power in the mid-range rather than expecting a high-performance feel from the hull alone.
Comfort is good for day trips, with sensible seating, storage, a bow area, and standard practical items such as a self-bailing cockpit and swim platforms. The single-cabin arrangement is useful for changing or occasional shelter, but this is still fundamentally an open boat, so overnight livability is limited compared with a true cruiser.
Value is one of its stronger points. The Activ 675 Open offers mainstream build quality, straightforward maintenance, and a layout that works for mixed family use, watersports, and coastal cruising. Buyers prioritizing space, simplicity, and usability will likely find it more convincing than those seeking luxury finishes or extended cruising comfort.
