We get on board the Sealine C390 after its world premiere at the Düsseldorf Boat Show
Plugging the gap between C330 and C430, the Sealine C390 has been designed to combine the fun and dynamics of the former with the space and comfort of the latter.
At just over 41ft it’s a bold decision to fit the boat with sterndrives mated to either Volvo D4 300s or D6 370s. Should be fun, though, with engaging handling and a top speed just shy of 35 knots.
Despite having an enclosed wheelhouse the C390 can be opened up to the elements and the main deck transformed into one giant living space. This trick has been used on the other C models.
The cockpit window lifts and doors fold to create a broad opening without a threshold to negotiate, and there is a sunroof over the saloon and the cockpit.
A dropped side deck grants superb access down the starboard side, though it’s a shame there is no route to and from the helm through a side door. To maximise space in the cockpit the optional BBQ and sink is installed on the transom.
The lower deck is equally flexible with the option of having three cabins and two bathrooms if sleeping space is a concern. The most indulgent layout puts a double ensuite forward with another sharing space amidships with a void that can be a walk-in wardrobe or a utility space.
