The Santoku range of craft is focused on performance combined with practicality, efficiency and seaworthiness in open water offshore conditions.
Featuring a high freeboard flared bow, the new hull provides excellent recovery in heavy seas, whilst the fine entry deep vee along the forefoot slices through the chop, providing safe secure handling characteristics and ensuring confidence when the going gets rough.
Santoku’s efficient triple stepped multi-plane deep vee hull is an evolution of a craft originally developed for special forces applications, but with all new tooling and enhanced hull dynamics.
The Santoku range all feature the same unique multi-stepped, multi-plane hull that improves efficiency right across the speed range and allows for higher payloads and greater tolerance of varying centres of gravity compared to traditional performance hulls.
Powered by either petrol outboard, diesel stern drive or hybrid diesel electric, Santoku provides increased performance and efficiency within the specialist market sector with speeds up to 70 knots, whilst delivering a range of up to 400 nautical miles.
Strong emphasis has been placed on practicality and versatility, allowing the Santoku ST40 to meet the demands of multiple markets and is future proofed to accommodate new alternative powering options as they emerge, such as fully electric and hybrid diesel electric.
