glide through water up to a maximum speed of 45mph. The boat is crafted by architect Nicolas Politis and team in Greece,
and has a convertible roof to protect you during different types of weather. If you’ll be driving it through colder months, you
have the option of adding heating too. The Hermes Speedster has a low centre of gravity to boost stability on open water,
and can carve through the water with a 72-degree access angle. That, combined with a hydrodynamic underwater hull,
keeps the boat powering smoothly and calmly, whether you’re sailing or speeding. If you want to stand out in the harbour
and look like you’re part of a Bond movie, this is the boat you’ve been looking for.
