We would like to introduce our readers to the Hermes Speedster, a Jewel created by Seven Seas Yachts. A neat classic-styled runabout with traits reminiscent of the 1959 Porsche 356 and the gentleman-style runabout boats of the 30s. They successfully combined luxury, efficiency, style and comfort. We believe that the Hermes Speedster can easily take place in the Olympus of Luxury Boats. Just discover more about Seven Seas Yachts: This luxury brand was founded in 2011 and is based in the UK. In 2012, the first 17-meter yachts, the Legend 54, the Legend 56 Fly and Hermes GranTurismo followed. The development of the Hermes Speedster started in 2015, while in 2017 they decided to start the production of the model. Furthermore, in 2018, the Hermes Speedster was awarded as a boat of the year 2018 by HISWA. Now in 2020, the Hermes Speedster is sold in Europe, Australia and the Americas.
There is a lot of history behind this Jewel that it took its name from the Ancient Greek God Hermes. The messenger of the Gods, son of Zeus and one of the twelve principal gods of Olympus. Also, God of speed, wealth, luck and travel. The Hermes Speedster comes in various colour combinations. The customer can customise the colour of the hull, real leather, carpet and convertible top. This way, the customer has the opportunity to cruise on a unique Hermes Speedster.
Each piece of the interior, from the seats and the steering wheel to the speakers and the switches, is uniquely designed and handcrafted with attention to detail. Due to the convertible top, in a few seconds, you can enjoy your boat, despite the adverse weather conditions.
They will offer you one version of the Hermes Speedster, which is full extra (incl. metallic paint with anti-scratch varnish, real leather, handcrafted steering wheel, etc.) All models share the same principles, and they are based on patented Amfihull. Sleek lines, low centre of gravity, low weight, stability, efficiency, high quality and the significant advantage of our Amfihull, which lets you cruise at any speed, maintaining a nearly horizontal attitude.
The Hermes Speedster is a unique boat, looks-wise and also performance-wise. Thanks to our patented Amfihull, the Hermes Speedster can cruise from 5mph up to 45mph, as the boat maintains at all speeds very low trim angles between 2 and 2.8 degrees. Unlike other ships, there is no specific speed at which the Hermes transitions to plane; instead of as the rate increases; the boat gradually comes out of the water maintaining a nearly horizontal attitude.
As there is very low drag resistance and no hump coming on the plane, the jet drive offers a great, insane acceleration. Considering all the above, the very low centre of gravity and the surprisingly low weight, Hermes ensures a very soft, safe and fun ride. Of course, let’s not forget about the extraordinary fuel economy, as the Hermes Speedster consumes on average 0.5L/Mile or 8MPG. That makes our Speedster fuel-efficient and eco-friendly.
The Rotax 1503NA 155hp powers it. With only 0.27m (0.9ft) of draft, the Hermes Speedster can access any exotic beach, despite how shallow the waters may be. The incredibly low weight of 680kg, the jet drive propulsion and the weak draft will let you take it out on the sand with ease and comfort. Its LOA is 6.75m, and the beam is only 1.8m; its dimensions and its low weight make it really easy and comfortable to tow the Hermes Speedster with any car.
