Spotlight: Parker 920
The new Parker 920 is perfect for fishing, recreational sailing or family weekenders.
The Parker 920 Explorer MAX is a new model that will surely impress boating enthusiasts who are looking for a versatile, stable and spacious family weekender or a sturdy sportsfisher for serious angling. This 9.2-metre boat offers all the modern conveniences, as well as outstanding all-sea-state characteristics, making it a perfect choice for people who want the perfect balance between a family cruiser and a recreational boat.
The exterior design of the Parker 920 is characterised by its striking looks, sportsfisher styling, vertical bow and a two-step hull manufactured using the infusion process which results in a hull with higher stiffness at lower weight and lower drag, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and allows the boat to run flat and fast.
The aft deck/cockpit of the Parker 920 is a massive 5.3 square metres, which is 33 per cent larger than anything in its class. It features seating, twin tables, and a 150-litre icebox, and its furnishings are module-based, allowing customers to personalise their layout to suit their lifestyle. The modules can also be moved around at any time and can be removed from the aft deck to leave more space for fishing and transport.
For boating in all conditions, a watertight door separates the aft deck from the aft platform, and the walkaround side decks are easily accessed from both port and starboard. On the foredeck, there are large sunpads, increasing the leisure space and ideal for reclining and enjoying the views while underway or at anchor.
Inside the pilothouse, there is a large four-person dinette with a convertible seat that folds across to become a navigator chair, sliding windows all around with curtains for privacy and protection, and a sunroof overhead for optimal ventilation. The helm is located starboard providing unimpeded 360-degree views for the skipper.
The front cabin of the Parker 920 offers all the comfort needed for overnight stays or longer onboard, boasting an offset double bed plus a single to port and a separate heads compartment with shower and window. The saloon dining table and seating converts into another double bed for kids or friends.
One innovative and unique feature of the Parker 920 is the optional panoramic folding roof over the entire saloon, adding sunshine and sea breezes to a day on the water. The boat can take a single 400hp or twin 225hp engines and reach a top speed of 55 knots.
Parker is known for its quality fibreglass boats, offshore rating in many models, and an array of features offered at a very competitive price. The Parker hull is made using Twin Step Infusion technology, involving vacuum infusion during moulding, vinyl ester, sandwich cores, and multiaxial reinforcement to save weight, increase stiffness and improve comfort. In Europe, the Parker range is the choice of water police and marine biologists undertaking research expeditions.
The Parker 920 Explorer MAX is a decent-sized boat with plenty of space, great layout, heaps of power, and all at a great price, according to Dmitriy Dubs, co-Director of Nautilus Australia. The boat's spacious cockpits, clever convertible seating, and myriad features make them the perfect boat for a day or a weekend on the water. Nautilus Australia aims to deliver the best all-round boating experience for their customers so that every part of the ownership experience is enjoyable.
