Scanner Envy 1100: Elegance and Plenty of Space

Approaching the Scanner Envy 1100 T-Top on the dock of the Varazze port, you immediately perceive the shipyard’s build quality. The design is muscular yet incredibly refined. The main feature of this model (and indeed of every Scanner) is the abundant use of fiberglass finished with a top-quality gelcoat, which overlaps the tubes and integrates them into the very structure of the boat. This architectural choice is not just aesthetic, but structural: it greatly increases the interior volumes and raises the freeboard, offering unparalleled spray protection.

The deck layout is a classic and highly successful walkaround. This means you can move from stern to bow in total safety, without steps or narrow passages.

• Aft Area: The two Mercury V10 outboards do not sacrifice space: the shipyard has designed wide, well-integrated side swim platforms that make access to the water (or the dock) extremely easy. Just forward, there is an enormous aft sunpad that can comfortably host 3 people, hiding a massive storage locker underneath.

• Dinette and Wet Bar: In the center of the cockpit, a U-shaped sofa seats up to 6/7 people, served by a wet bar featuring a sink, an induction cooktop, and a large refrigerator. All of this is protected by the imposing and aerodynamic rigid T-Top, upon which an extendable sunshade can be mounted.

• Helm Station: Designed for total ergonomics, it offers above-average wind protection thanks to a wide windshield and a perfectly laid out instrument panel.

• Bow Area: Extremely versatile, it can transition from a spacious sunpad to a dining/cocktail area by raising a foldaway table.

The Hidden Secret of the Envy 1100: Interiors and Volumes

Although it maintains a sporty profile, the console of the Envy 1100 hides much more than a simple changing room. The interior space actually houses a double bed comparable in size to that of a cabin cruiser, complete with a sink and a marine toilet.

This solution allows you to enjoy the sea not only for day trips but also for short cruises in total comfort. The model tested, at its owner’s request, was also equipped with a marine tent that allows the creation of two additional berths at the stern, utilizing the large sunpad.
