Forty eight knots, delivered without drama.
The standard Mercury 350 V8 is enough to put the 858 Fantom on the plane in a handful of seconds, and the Volvo Penta V8-430 option above it unlocks her full pace. Cruising settles at an easy 35 knots, with a 370 litre tank giving a range near 200 nautical miles between fuel stops. A draught of just 0.9 metres lets her slip into shallow anchorages a deeper hulled yacht would have to avoid, and the hydraulic steering stays light and immediate through the range, so tight manoeuvring in a crowded harbour feels as natural as running flat out in open water.
Her lines borrow more from a coupe than a conventional launch.
Free form surfaces run the length of the hull, finished without handrails or visible fastenings to keep the profile as clean as possible. A frameless, tinted windscreen sits low over the helm, and a sculpted electric anchor winch at the bow reads as a design feature in its own right rather than deck hardware bolted on. Aft, a solid teak bathing platform nearly two metres long gives swimmers and tenders somewhere proper to work from, with a fold out ladder finished in the same timber. Every surface answers to the same brief, reduce visual clutter until only the shape itself remains.
Frauscher’s engineering department built her to carry real power without feeling heavy.
The GRP hull keeps weight down, and the standard Mercury 350 V8 can be stepped up to a Volvo Penta V8-430 or a Mercruiser 6.2 litre unit, each paired with a Bravo drive. An aluminium 370 litre fuel tank sits low for stability, and the boat is certified to CE Category C for coastal waters. Three electric bilge pumps and an automatic fire suppression system sit behind the scenes, the kind of detail that matters far more in daily use than in a brochure. It is engineering built for owners who use their boats hard, not just for the afternoons when the sea is flat.
Below the foredeck, a proper cabin rather than a token one.
A V berth stretching 2.2 metres accommodates two for a night aboard, upholstered and finished to the same standard as the deck above, with portholes bringing in natural light. By day, the cockpit seating stretches to eight guests across contoured, laterally supportive seats that face comfortably aft as well as forward, so conversation never has to compete with the wind. A two person sun lounger at the stern and a transom bench complete the social space, teak decked throughout. It is a boat built first for days on the water, with just enough below deck to extend the occasional night into morning.
She asks little of her owner beyond a taste for good design.
At 8.67 metres with a 2.49 metre beam, the 858 Fantom sits easily in a standard marina berth, and her shallow draught widens the list of harbours she can enter without a second thought. Air conditioning, a teak table and a bow thruster are among the options worth specifying for owners who will use her often rather than occasionally. Zero crew is required to run her, and servicing follows the same dealer network as any Mercury or Volvo Penta powered craft. For a buyer who wants a day boat with genuine design credentials and the performance to match, she is a compact, convincing case.
