Thirty five knots from a pair of Volvo Penta diesels, and she barely raises her voice doing it.
The standard Volvo Penta D4 sits beneath the deck, with a D6 or a Yanmar 8LV available for owners who want more urgency. Cruising at 25 knots and topping out at 35, the DB/37 IB covers ground quickly without the fuel bill of a comparable petrol outboard set up. An 800 litre tank gives her a genuine 300 nautical mile range, enough to cross open water and still have fuel in hand for the return leg. Naval architecture comes from Philippe Briand, whose hull work favours a soft ride over raw aggression, and it shows: she settles into a cruise rather than fighting the sea, the kind of manners that matter on a long, warm afternoon offshore.
A plumb bow and a low, taut sheer give her the look of something considerably larger.
Garroni Design drew a profile built around long, tapered hull windows and a concave cutaway through the topsides, a detail that lightens the silhouette without softening it. The styling borrows from the larger DB/43 launched two years earlier, translated down to a hull under twelve metres. A hardtop stretches almost to the gunwales, shading the helm and the aft seating beneath it, while the flush foredeck keeps the lines clean from bow to transom. It is a design built to photograph well at anchor and to disappear into a marina full of larger boats, understated rather than showy, which suits an owner who would rather be noticed for how she moves than how she looks standing still.
Drop the bulwarks and the cockpit doubles as a floating terrace.
Hinged sections fold flat on each side, widening the aft deck by close to two metres and turning it into a level, teak lined platform at the waterline. Reversible bench seating converts from dining to sunbathing in moments, and a transverse wet bar, with a gas burner and sink built in, keeps the cooking and the company in the same space. It is a layout built for slow afternoons at anchor as much as for the run out. A breakfast bar links the cockpit to the lower deck, so the boundary between entertaining above and resting below stays soft rather than sharp, exactly the effect a day boat this size should aim for.
Two cabins, one bathroom, and enough natural light to make eleven metres feel bigger.
The owner’s cabin sits forward in the bow, and a full beam mid cabin follows aft, its transverse double bed available as twin singles for owners who prefer the option. Hull windows run along both spaces, so neither cabin feels enclosed despite sitting below the waterline. A single bathroom serves both, kept compact but complete. Sleeping four in total, the DB/37 IB is built for a couple who want the option of overnighting rather than a boat that demands it. She is, first, a day boat with proper accommodation in reserve, and the balance between the two is judged carefully rather than as an afterthought bolted onto a cockpit first design.
A considered specification for an owner who wants performance without complication.
Built with a beam of 3.6 metres and a draught of just 1.1 metres, the DB/37 IB clears shallow anchorages that would stop many boats her length. Eight guests can be carried by day, four can stay aboard overnight, and a single crew member is enough to run her comfortably. New, she is priced at 700,000 euros, positioning her against rivals that offer less cockpit and less range for a similar outlay. Jeanneau’s own engineering department handles the build, keeping design, construction and after sales support under one roof. For an owner searching for a fast, sociable day boat with real overnight ability, the DB/37 IB earns her place on a short list.
