Experience report SR30 YACHTLINE Rhein

In May 2018, after a detailed briefing by Florian Öchsner, we received our boat “Mutlu”. Everything was perfectly prepared to ensure a smooth transfer by caravan to our berth at the Baden-Baden marina.

The weight was kept under 3.5 tons as promised. Despite its large dimensions, the boat was easily towed with a trailer. The first driving trials, especially the docking and berthing maneuvers, were exciting, but inspiring thanks to the helpful club colleagues and the flawless handling of the boat. By the way, the reactions of some “spectators” who could not believe that such a big boat could actually be towed with a trailer were also very nice, but we have photographic proof of the weigh-in result.

The size of the boat is great and the SR30 YACHTLINE is unique in its size. This was also confirmed with admiration by numerous guests who were knowledgeable about water sports when we received the vessel. Apart from the excellent workmanship and quality of the built-in parts, some cleverly detailed solutions make the difference, such as the various rear seats that can be quickly converted into sleeping space.

With over 70 hours of work, 6 weeks of vacation and several (extended) weekends, we got to know the boat from scratch. Although 2018 is the summer of the century, we are still satisfied. Above all the factory-installed heating system, which does a good job even at night in May, but also ensures a successful week off in the fall. Now a word about the driving characteristics: There is boundless enthusiasm when it comes to planning. Acceleration, speed, cornering behavior and “directional balance” are exemplary, as is the low fuel consumption. Perfect for a waterway like the Sea and the Rhine.

Conclusion

Our result after the first season: The SR30 YACHTLINE is a premium quality, well-designed, stylish boat with excellent handling characteristics and plenty of space. The price/performance ratio is great, so for us there is no boat of this size that even comes close to the Öchsner SR30 YACHTLINE. In addition, there is friendly and competent advice and support from the Öchsner family and Mr. Küffner.

To summarize: You must buy this wonderful boat!
