“Collezione should not be understood as it is in the fashion world, but indicates the desire to collect a unique piece, dedicated to enthusiasts who want to own a product that can never be confused with another,” explains the designer Christian Grande.
“The ability to create models such as the SX280i Collezione is a perfect example of the constructive, technical, and stylistic capabilities of the Capoforte brand,” adds Grande.
Key to the SX280i Collezione is its adaptability – despite measuring just 8.7 metres, it offers the flexibility for water sports or for days of pure seaborne relaxation, combining a high-performance hull, comfort and elegance.
The hull and deck are painted in a muted blue called Blue Ulisse, which matches the rich Cognac cushions on the deck and the Sunset Gold of the dashboard.
Innovative details include a padded cockpit edge for safety and comfort, which also highlights the yard’s manufacturing skills. The boat screams contact with the sea thanks to its generous swimming platform at the stern, which the large cockpit won’t feel cramped with family and friends on board.
There’s a rotating rear backrest that creates a sunbed over the engine compartment, while the central area offers a comfortable L-shaped lounge facing the helm, which has a double ergonomic seat as part of the central console.
Forward, there’s an inviting sunbed and a C-shaped bow sofa creating a second alfresco social area, and there’s a head compartment amidship under the central console unit.
The ‘i’ in the models’ name refers to inboard – the SX280i is offered with a sterndrive unit coupled to a Volvo Penta V8 petrol or MerCruiser diesel. The 350 hp V8 version offers a great turn of speed, maxing out at 39 knots with a useful cruise of 21 knots.
