The Spirit 25 is RAND’s answer to a question most builders skip: what happens if you give a modern day boat the manners of a 1960s runabout? The hull is 7.48 metres, the windscreen wraps rather than juts, and the steering console borrows its shape from Italian sports cars of the period. Underneath, the engineering is entirely current.
Six people fit without crowding. The helm bench has an expandable backrest that swings the seating into a cafe-style arrangement in seconds, so the same space works for driving fast and for lunch at anchor. Storage runs under the seating and beneath the foredeck. A teak foredeck doubles as a sun pad. Shade comes either from a rigid T-top, which costs almost nothing in top speed, or a stowaway bimini that folds away for low bridges.
Power is a genuine choice rather than a token electric option. RAND’s own 170 kW inboard drive with a 78 kWh battery gives 28 knots and 65 kilometres at 9 knots. Buyers who want more pace take the Mercury F250 outboard or the 300 hp Mercruiser sterndrive, both good for 45 knots.
At 1,250 kilos the boat tows easily and sits well in a small berth, which matters to owners who move between a lake, a river and a coast. Prices open at 119,900 euros, and the boat is built in Copenhagen.

The Spirit 25 asks what a modern day boat looks like with 1960s manners.
Her windscreen wraps rather than juts, and the steering console borrows its shape from Italian sports cars of the period, a deliberate throwback worked into an otherwise contemporary 7.5 metre hull. A teak foredeck doubles as a sun pad, and shade comes from a choice of a rigid T-top, which costs almost nothing in top speed, or a stowaway bimini that folds away for low bridges. The effect is a boat that reads as a restoration rather than a retro pastiche, with none of the engineering left behind in the original era.
Choose your pace, and the Spirit 25 obliges.
RAND’s own 170 kilowatt inboard drive, paired with a 78 kilowatt-hour battery, gives an efficient 28 knots and around 65 kilometres of range at a 9 knot cruise, enough for a lazy afternoon without recharging. Buyers who want more pace move to the Mercury F250 outboard or the 300 horsepower MerCruiser sterndrive, both good for 45 knots. At 1,250 kilograms unladen, she also tows easily and sits comfortably in a small berth ashore, which matters to an owner who splits time between a lake, a river and a coast rather than keeping the boat permanently afloat.
There is a place to lie down, even if RAND does not make a fuss of it.
Behind the helm, a rear sleeping area measuring roughly 1.5 by 1.5 metres extends to 1.7 metres once the backrest cushion folds down, enough for an afternoon nap at anchor or an unplanned night aboard. It is not pitched as a cabin, and RAND does not dress it up as one, but it separates the Spirit 25 from a pure day boat and gives her a genuine edge over rivals offering nothing more than a sun pad. Storage runs beneath the seating and under the foredeck around it, so the space stays usable rather than becoming a dumping ground for life jackets and fenders.
Small details carry real engineering thought.
The engine bay sits inside a GRP surround with its own sound insulation and a fire extinguishing system, a level of containment unusual on a boat this size. Twin house batteries, mounted in their own boxes with lashing straps and electronically controlled main switches, run lighting and electronics independently of whichever propulsion system sits aft. A Lewmar bow thruster, controlled from the helm, and an electric gearstick and trim lever take the guesswork out of close quarters manoeuvring for a less experienced driver. None of it is visible from the cockpit, which is exactly the point.
Built in Copenhagen, and engineered to be kept rather than replaced.
At 7.5 metres and 1,250 kilograms, the Spirit 25 sits in a size bracket that suits a first boat, a second boat for a smaller mooring, or a runaround for an owner who already has something larger. Six guests travel in comfort rather than being squeezed in, and the choice between RAND’s own electric drivetrain and two combustion options means the same hull can serve an owner who wants silence on a lake one season and outright pace on the coast the next. Few boats at this size offer that range of character without changing shape.
