Sealine 330 – Destiny of Plymouth

Stylistically, there are echoes of some former models in the topsides of the C330 but this is not a revamp of a pre-Hanse Sealine and neither is it merely a modified S330. On the contrary, it might use the same hull as the existing 33-footer from the Sport range but it takes a very different (and in many ways superior) approach to its use of space.

In place of the all-over hardtop and open main deck, the C330 uses an enclosed wheelhouse alongside an external aft cockpit. It also brings the galley up from down below and positions it on the starboard side of the saloon. Not only does that enable the cooking area to be larger, more highly specced, better ventilated and more accessible, but it has also lead Sealine to make some big claims about the below decks spaces. With that galley duly exiled, we’re apparently talking minimum headroom of six feet allied to “the comfort of a 36-footer” – and when you’re down there, those claims ring true. The reduced communal section in the centre now contains just a compact seating area and a single heads compartment and that has enabled the scale of the beds, the volume of the storage and the deck space in the master cabin to reach levels you might not expect on a cruiser of such modest length.
