Forty knots is a serious number for a boat this compact.
The standard Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 or the optional Volvo Penta V8-300 drive a 2,500 kilogram hull to a 25 knot cruise and a 40 knot top speed, numbers that put her closer to a sportsboat than a cruiser. A 240 litre fuel tank gives a useful 150 nautical mile range between fills, enough for a full day of running without planning a refuelling stop. Her shallow 0.9 metre draught opens up anchorages a deeper hulled yacht would have to avoid, and the planing hull settles quickly onto the step rather than wallowing through it. She asks to be driven, not just steered.
Her profile reads fast even tied up at the dock.
Frauscher’s in-house design team drew a low, taut silhouette over a GRP hull, with a beam of 2.5 metres that gives her enough width to stay stable at speed without losing the lean, open look that defines the yard’s sportsboats. There is no superstructure to interrupt the line from bow to stern, just a windscreen, a helm console and a deck built for movement rather than display. It is a look that has aged well across the range, recognisably Frauscher from any angle, trading bulk for proportion. She looks like what she is: a boat built to be driven hard and admired at rest.
One cabin, two berths, and just enough reason to stay out past dark.
Below the cockpit, Frauscher’s design team has fitted a compact cabin that sleeps two, a practical addition rather than a full accommodation deck, and exactly what a boat of this size needs to turn a long day into an overnight stop. The finish follows the same restrained language as the exterior: clean surfaces, no excess trim, nothing that fights for attention. It will not replace a larger yacht’s owner’s suite, and it is not meant to. It simply means a couple can anchor in a quiet bay, stay the night and carry on in the morning without needing a second, larger boat to do it.
Eight guests, one open cockpit, and no wasted space between them.
The cockpit is built around movement between helm, seating and swim platform rather than fixed, formal zones, so eight guests can spread out for a day on the water without crowding the driver. Seating wraps around a helm station designed for direct control at speed, with sightlines that keep the person driving fully aware of what is happening on deck. It is a layout suited to a full day out, swimming, lunch at anchor, a fast run home, rather than to sitting still in a marina. The 740 Mirage is built around being used, not just owned.
New or used, she holds her position in the market because the formula works.
Priced at around 150,000 euros new, with well kept used examples trading between 100,000 and 130,000 euros, the 740 Mirage sits at an accessible point for a boat with genuine sportsboat performance. She needs no crew to run, a single owner or guest can handle her from the helm, and Frauscher’s own engineering team stands behind both the standard Mercruiser V8 and the optional Volvo Penta setup. For a buyer who wants one boat that can do a fast morning run, a long lunch at anchor and an occasional night aboard, she covers all three without asking for a bigger budget or a bigger crew.
