We already talked about the entrance of the Cypriot brand Karnic in the Italian market some weeks ago and we also told you the complete sea trial of Karnic 22 SR. Now, it's the turn of the smallest model of the range: Smartone 48, an extremely functional and high-performing boat, less than 5 metres long. An ideal means to fish, work or have a daily trip.

KARNIC 22: COMPLETE SEA TRIAL
22 SR is one of the five different declinations Karnic proposes for its 6.48-metre boat. The base is a beautiful original and rather narrow bottom, with a high step which extends towards the bow for a greater static and dynamic stability. It's a day cruiser with a small fore cabin; a family boat, a perfect holiday machine. And rather affordable, too. Karnic was born in Cyprus in 1993 and now it produces almost 300 boats

Sailing, motorboating and sea trials
Sailing, motorboating and sea trials The essence of the last issue of The International Yachting Media Digest Boating - the passion that unites us all - implies various possible opportunities.
