BB YACHTS - BB 44 "Refined Comfort for Bold Daytime Adventures" You can choose between Cummins inboards of various powers or a triple outboard engine with even three Mercury V1o engines of 500 horsepower each. In short, those who wish can opt for a much more powerful engine than the one I had available during the test and I am not saying this because the Cummins did not convince me, on the contrary. At maximum speed I reached almost 28 knots, a fair value, in my opinion, for a quiet cruise. Eleven and a half knots were enough to glide and, above all, the consequence of a not too strong engine brings advantages for consumption and, consequently, autonomy Cruising between 60 and 170 liters / hour for both engines is an out of the ordinary figure. There are not many cabin cruiser motorboats of more than fourteen meters in length overall that succeed. The feeling at the helm was also positive. The hull is stable and holds its course well.

Accessories notes: On the French Riviera I had the opportunity to test the 44' Ischia, which is the first model, but they are already making a 33' and in the coming months it will be the turn of the 66'. BB Yachts has only recently arrived, but it is undoubtedly making progress. What are the merits of the 44' Ischia? The first, which is immediately noticeable, is that it is finally not yet another walkaround. This is a size in which it seems impossible not to realize a walkaround and finally a construction site has arrived that does not submit to this rule. The project, entirely curated by Paolo Ferragni, includes a layout with a passage in the bow on the starboard side of the bridge, while the port side is intended for descent below deck. The windshield occupies the entire beam, but by virtue of the starboard hatch that allows access to the bow area, ^ it is not an obstacle. The advantage of this choice is that the helm station is in the center and helps to give a feeling of security when you are at the helm because everything is under control. The deck layout is symmetrical. From stern to bow, in fact, the walkway is always central.
