Verdict
The Steelfish 670 is a compact aluminium tender-sloep with a practical layout, shallow draft and reassuringly sturdy construction. It suits short coastal or inland day trips well, but comfort and livability are limited by its size and basic accommodation.
Pros
- +Aluminium hull and deck for durability
- +Shallow draft suits inland waters and harbors
- +Wide 2.50 m beam improves stability and space
- +Rated for up to 8-9 people depending on configuration
- +Outboard-bun setup keeps the stern practical and open
Cons
- −Limited comfort and no real cabin on the standard model
- −Best used as a day boat rather than for overnighting
- −Performance depends heavily on engine choice
- −Weight and simplicity suit easy handling, but not high-end refinement
- −Exact onboard equipment varies widely by listing and dealer
The Steelfish 670 is a 6.70 m aluminium sloep/tender built around a simple, robust concept: a broad beam, shallow draft and a fast-running underwater shape. Public listings consistently place it in the 8-person category, with some rental and resale listings showing 9 guests, which suggests the boat is aimed at sociable day use rather than private cruising with lots of gear.
On the water, the hull is described as a fast-planing design with outboard power up to 60-70 hp depending on source and trim. That points to capable acceleration for its class and generally easy low-speed maneuvering, while the shallow 0.55 m draft should make it useful in sheltered coastal waters, lakes and canals. The trade-off is that this is not a heavy offshore cruiser, so ride comfort in chop will depend on load and speed management.
For comfort, the Steelfish 670 offers a generous cockpit feel for its length and a practical open layout, but livability remains basic. There is no confirmed overnight cabin in the standard 670, and the value proposition is strongest for buyers wanting a durable, low-maintenance aluminium day boat rather than a fully featured yacht. Overall, it is a solid utility-first choice with good space efficiency, but not a luxury or long-range model.
