An open day boat that refuses to stay closed up when the weather turns. The 858 Fantom Air takes Frauscher’s sports boat, already a head turner at rest, and gives her two awnings that deploy in seconds, so the choice between sun and shade is never a reason to head for the marina early. She shares her sporting hull and 48 knot top end with the standard Fantom, powered by a Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 as standard and a Volvo Penta V8-350 or D4-300 diesel above it, and she carries that performance with the same shallow 0.9 metre draught that opens up anchorages other sports boats cannot reach. The deployable awnings and a spray hood are the real point of difference, fitted sensibly aft and forward, they fold away under the seatbacks the moment they are not needed, leaving the clean deck Frauscher is known for. She won the Elegance Competition at the Cannes Yachting Festival in her class, a result that reflects just how resolved this balance of comfort and style has become. For an owner who wants genuine weather flexibility without sacrificing the Fantom’s character, she is the obvious specification.

At Sea

Choppy water barely interrupts her stride.

Even with a passenger forward and a confused sea running, the 858 Fantom Air settles onto the plane at around 10 knots and holds a composed, dry line through successive waves rather than crashing into them. Cruising speed sits at 35 knots, with 48 available at the top of the range, and the standard Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 gets her onto the plane in under four seconds. A 370 litre tank supports a range close to 200 nautical miles, enough for a full day offshore and the run home. The balance that keeps her composed in a crosswind or a following sea is the same balance that makes her easy to dock single handed.

Design & Lines

Two awnings, deployed in seconds, are what set her apart from the standard Fantom.

Positioned aft and over the bow dinette, they extend in moments to answer strong sun, and a separate spray hood handles rain, both retracting fully under the seatbacks when not needed so the deck reads as cleanly as any closed Fantom at rest. A continuous stainless steel handrail runs the full width of the boat, a practical touch that doubles as a design line tying bow to stern. The dashboard pairs analogue instruments with a modern engine interface, a combination that keeps the helm legible without losing the character of the brand. It is a design exercise in flexibility that never looks like a compromise.

On Board

Life on board moves fluidly from bow to stern.

A clear passage connects the forward and aft sundecks, so guests can move around the boat without picking a path through seating. The bow dinette seats comfortably for lounging or a casual meal at anchor, while the aft deck, generously sized for a boat under nine metres, handles everything from sunbathing to serving drinks before a night out. Up to eight guests can be aboard for the day, and the open layout means none of them are ever far from the water or the conversation. It is this ease of movement, as much as the awnings, that defines how she is actually used.

Interior & Accommodation

A single cabin below deck keeps the emphasis firmly on life above it.

The forward berth sleeps two, finished to the same standard as the rest of the boat and lit by portholes rather than left as an afterthought. It suits a couple staying out for a night at anchor far better than a full liveaboard cruise, which is precisely the balance Frauscher aimed for with this model. One cabin, zero crew required, and a layout that never asks the owner to manage more boat than they actually need. For many owners, that restraint is the point, a smaller footprint, lower running costs and still enough comfort for an overnight escape.

Ownership & Specification

Three engine options make her easy to specify around how she will actually be used.

The standard Mercruiser 6.2 litre V8 suits most owners, while the Volvo Penta V8-350 and D4-300 diesel options broaden the choice for those who prioritise efficiency or prefer diesel’s long range reputation. At 8.67 metres and 2.49 metres of beam, she sits easily in a standard marina berth, and her shallow draught keeps more destinations in reach than most boats her size. No crew is required to run her, which keeps ownership costs modest for a boat of this calibre. For a buyer who already admires the Fantom’s design language but wants more flexibility day to day, the Air variant is the natural step up.
