With this boat Sessa Marine also realizes a very interesting project, which makes its modularity a great strength. In fact, there are three models that arise from this study which intelligently declines in the Open, Hard Top and T-Top versions a design basis where the key values are habitability and beauty. The flagship version of this new model is certainly the Hard-Top, and today we'll try it together, in a world preview. Climbing aboard the new Sessa C3X, one cannot help but notice how the actual dimensions are truly exaggerated. With an overall length of more than eleven meters (37ft) and a beam of about three and a half meters, the Sessa C3X in fact offers much larger boat spaces. You enter the cockpit by climbing a step from the large aft platform. To port we immediately find a generously sized sundeck which, thanks to a folding backrest, also becomes the aft sofa of the U-shaped dinette with a central table, which is opposed to a wet bar capable of containing everything needed for a day at sea. Moving towards the bow, to port, there is space for a huge chaise longue which, extremely comfortable, will certainly be the most sought after place by the whole crew. Corresponding to it, to starboard, we find a decidedly well-organized command cockpit, equipped with excellent all-round visibility and capable of containing all the necessary electronics. This whole area is dominated by the large full-beam sliding roof which, when open, effectively regulates the air flow during navigation and, when closed, shades the external open space. Finally, the bow is accessed via two symmetrical side decks which, another positive note, are much wider than average and allow a very safe passage towards the huge sundeck that awaits us. But it is going below deck that we are literally amazed. The space that welcomes us is enormous, it seems to be on board a 40-footer. To starboard, a second L-shaped dinette equipped with a folding central table which, if desired, can also become another bed. Following is a galley equipped with wall units which, taking advantage of the bow bulkhead, develops over an extension that is simply unthinkable for boats of this size, capable of easily accommodating sufficient provisions for medium-range cruises. On the left we find the bathroom which, equipped with a separate shower cubicle, is intelligently positioned amidships, thus managing to also fulfill the function of day toilet. To complete the unusual interiors of the new Sessa C3X there are two cabins which, in terms of size, finish and equipment, can easily be identified as two masters. The bow one is equipped with a raised central bed and is served on both sides by wardrobes, shelves and plenty of walking space. The stern one instead sees the king size bed positioned across the beam and even has a hallway equipped with wardrobes, shelves and a sofa. In short, a boat of truly unsuspected dimensions, with which to enjoy long and comfortable cruises, with the family or with a couple of friends. Sea Trial: The test of the new Sessa C3X In the engine room we have two Volvo DPS 350 horsepower petrol sterndrives which, I will never tire of saying, are the best solution for this type of boat. Much lighter (and cheaper) than their "diesel cousins" they are ideal if you don't intend to do 200/300 hours of navigation a year. Optionally, diesel or outboard versions are also available. Sitting comfortably in the command chair, I engage the gear and give the gas. Visibility all around is really good and it's very easy to manoeuvre, even in confined spaces. Leaving the port we give gas and the Sessa C3X gets planing quickly, already at 12 knots she comes out of the water, detaches the wake and naturally relaxes. This feature also makes it possible to find a series of "low cruising speeds" which will prove to be important for navigation in rough seas or, more simply, for cruising without haste while enjoying the panoramas. Noteworthy are the speeds between 20 and 30 knots, here consumption is fairly constant, always less than 4 liters per mile. A really good result, based on a hull that glides on the water with little friction. But the Sessa C3X can give much more, it's an open and, despite the richness and size of the interiors, it must also be able to give sporting sensations so, let's stop delaying and let's give up the cuffs. The boat accelerates without apparent effort up to 35/36 knots and then, trimming the engines a little, it accelerates again, until it reaches a speed of almost 40 knots, not bad for an open like this which, moreover, we are testing at full load . I reduce the speed to about 20 knots and then I turn decisively, the boat leans and the adrenaline rises while the hull does its job keeping the Sessa C3X firmly in its trajectory. I counter-vibrate until we meet our own waves that the boat crosses without impacting. Then I get back on a straight course, at around 30 knots and enjoy the comfort. Sailing really well this new Sessa C3X.
