Owner speaks : The Rhea 800 is a remarkably seaworthy, safe, and reassuring boat. It handles the sea with ease and exhibits sound, predictable handling in all conditions - qualities that are particularly appreciated when conditions get rough.
Since purchasing it, I've made several upgrades designed to enhance comfort and autonomy on board: an autopilot, Webasto heating, a 2kW 220 V inverter, and a Fusion car stereo. These features allow me to enjoy the boat year-round, whether with family, friends, or on one hand navigations.
