The Vendée-based shipyard AtlantiCraft, which specializes in custom-built aluminum RIBs, is expanding its lineup with the BlackPearl 7.0. This boat joins a new fishing-oriented series, available in lengths ranging from 5.5 to 10 meters. Its goal: to combine the equipment fishermen expect with the comfort needed for crewed outings.
A bridge built for fishermen
Developed with the expertise of Cédric Murat, a sport fisherman and ambassador for AtlantiCraft and Suzuki, the BlackPearl 7.0 features a new hull design and wider walkways. These walkways make it easier to move around the console, especially when you need to guide a fish during the fight or quickly get to the bow of the boat.
The pilot's seat has also been redesigned to improve comfort and ergonomics. This is a welcome feature when traveling between fishing grounds and during long days on the water.
The equipment includes eleven welded rod holders , allowing the gear to be organized on board and keeping several rigs available. Below deck, a large fish tank is equipped with fill and drain pumps. At the bow, a custom-built mount is designed to hold an electric motor.
Garmin LiveScope and dual-screen setup at the console
Electronics play a key role in this setup. The BlackPearl 7.0 is equipped with a full suite of Garmin equipment featuring LiveScope technology. The dashboard allows for the integration of two screens up to 12 inches , offering a display area suitable for monitoring navigation and fishing information.
This layout meets the needs of pilots who want to have multiple views accessible from the cockpit, while maintaining a well-organized console.
A 300-horsepower Suzuki engine
The model shown is powered by a Suzuki DF300AP Stealth Line . This 300-horsepower outboard motor provides plenty of power for traveling between fishing spots. It also features Lean Burn technology, designed to optimize fuel efficiency based on operating conditions.
However, actual performance and fuel consumption will depend on the onboard load, speed, and sea conditions.
With its specialized features and custom design, the BlackPearl 7.0 is aimed at anglers who want a boat tailored to their needs, while still being able to enjoy fishing trips at sea with their families.
Price: starting at ?51,807 (including tax), excluding the powertrain and delivery. Configuration shown in the quote.
