2021 Skamander 850 Voyager

The Parker Skamander 850 Voyager offers impressive outboard engine performance and a clever cockpit with a keen eye on value for money.

29' seems to be proving the sweet spot for single outboard-powered weekenders and Polish builder Parker has their biggest open boat line in the 850 Voyager.

The most obvious benefit that Parker brings to this segment is sheer volume.  At 9' wide it's one of the beamiest boats in this category, which it combines with high cockpit sides that run right to the edges for the maximum amount of space (access to the foredeck is up steps and through the center of the windscreen).

The result is plenty of seating, but the key is the terrific adaptability created by two simple moving backrests.  The rearmost one hinges forward, creating aft-facing seating right at the rear of the boat, fantastic for relaxing at anchor and watching the world go by.

Hinge it back and the seat reverts to facing inward around an expensive lookin folding teak table on an easily removed pedestal.  It's one side of a C-shaped dinette area, and the forward backrest performs the same trick cantilevering between a rearward-facing part of the dinette or creating a large L-shaped seating area alongside the helm, putting three or four crew up at the front, amidst the action and protected by the high GRP-framed windscreen. 

It's such a simple design yet it works so well, optimizing the seating plan for lounging, dining or cruising.  There's a wet bar on the starboard side of the cockpit behind the helm, with a sink and room for a cooktop.

The volume works well on the lower deck too.  Although the boat is a clearly a cockpit-biased weekender, this is far more than just a basic cudd below.  In line with modern trends, there's no dedicated seating below, just a large double bed with a thick four-inch mattress.  But what is unusual is a second good-sized double berth in a mid cabin area such as in modern sport cruisers.  This area is also air-conditioned.
