The new Abarth Offshore jet boat, inspired by the Fiat 500 Abarth, made its grand debut at the Top Marques Monaco 2024 event. This collaboration between Stellantis and the Italian specialist boatbuilder Car Off Shore marks a unique blend of automotive and nautical design. Limited to just 500 units, the Abarth Offshore promises to deliver a distinct and sporty sailing experience, resonating with Abarth's renowned performance and style.
The Abarth Offshore features bold, metallic-green bodywork that turns iridescent under sunlight, complemented by dark hazelnut detailing and stitching. The boat’s exterior design includes a rigid HardTop that wraps around the passenger compartment and features a versatile hood system, reminiscent of Abarth's cabrio models. Inside, the boat is equipped with Besenzoni sports seats that boast ergonomic, quilted leather backrests and matching 4-point belts, all supported by Wave Shock dampened steel bases. High-quality Synteak synthetic teak and custom handrails enhance the luxurious feel from stern to bow.
Performance-wise, the Abarth Offshore is powered by a robust 230hp inboard hydro jet engine, paired with Riva racing exhausts that produce an aggressive and thrilling sound. The swim platform is designed for convenience, featuring an elegant, recessed steel ladder and a comfortable double sundeck aft, perfect for relaxation after a swim. The boat also includes a Garmin stereo system with RGB LEDs, 4 Fusion speakers, and a subwoofer that uses the dashboard as a sounding board, ensuring an immersive audio experience.
Customization is a key aspect of the Abarth Offshore, with each of the 500 units being fully customizable to meet individual preferences. Whether it’s for leisure, sports, or fishing, the boat can be tailored to fit various needs. This limited edition is ideal for those seeking to add a unique and sporty touch to their sailing adventures.
