SAY Carbon Yachts / SAY 32
The SAY 32 takes the carbon-fibre philosophy that made the German yard name and compresses it into a sub-ten-metre package built for size-restricted waters and marinas. At 9.98 metres and a dry weight of just 2.8 tonnes, she is the lightest yacht in her length class, and that figure explains the rest of the boat. Less mass means sharper handling, a 50-knot top speed and genuine efficiency from modest power, whether specified with a single Volvo Penta V8 of 430 horsepower or twin V6 units for 560 horsepower combined, each on an Aquamatic duo-prop drive. The layout is pure day boat, designed around how owners actually use a fast open yacht. Forward and aft sun loungers give dedicated space to relax, a generous swim platform draws the sea close, and sofa seating with adjustable tables lets eight guests dine aboard. The digital cockpit brings every control to the helm, while adjustable shock-absorbing racing seats keep driver and crew comfortable when the throttles go down. Rated CE Category B for offshore use and fully configurable, the SAY 32 is priced from around 574,900 euros. She is aimed at the owner who wants supercar agility and carbon-fibre engineering in a boat compact enough to keep anywhere, without surrendering the on-deck luxury that defines the SAY range. For a first step into the brand, she makes an unusually sharp case.

Fifty knots from a 32-foot boat is the headline, and the way the SAY 32 reaches it is the story. A dry weight of 2.8 tonnes means her engines move very little mass, so a single Volvo Penta V8 of 430 horsepower is enough for serious pace, while twin V6 units add up to 560 horsepower for owners who want more. Aquamatic duo-prop drives put the power down cleanly and make low-speed handling precise. The light hull also pays off in economy and range, with a 470-litre tank supporting around 280 nautical miles. Testers describe cornering that feels closer to a motorcycle than a boat, a directness that comes straight from keeping weight out of the structure. This is agility engineered in, not tuned after the fact.
The SAY 32 wears the range design language in miniature, with a low, purposeful profile and the clean carbon surfaces that signal what she is made of. The compact footprint is deliberate: a 2.97-metre beam and sub-ten-metre length let her fit berths and lift slots that larger sportsboats cannot reach, while a draft under a metre opens up shallow anchorages. A broad swim platform extends the usable deck aft and ties the boat to the water. Every panel is full carbon fibre, which keeps weight down and stiffness high, and the result is a hull that looks taut and technical rather than decorative. Form follows the engineering here, and the engineering is the point.
With no permanent cabin to accommodate, the SAY 32 gives her whole length to the deck, and the layout rewards it. A digital cockpit places navigation and control at the helm, flanked by adjustable, shock-absorbing racing seats that keep the crew planted at speed. Forward and aft sun loungers create two separate lounging zones, so guests can spread out rather than compete for space. Sofa seating with adjustable tables converts the cockpit into a dining area for eight, and the swim platform adds a staging point for watersports and swimming. It is a single-level social space built for daytime use, and its flexibility, from fast passage-making to a long lunch at anchor, is exactly what a day boat of this kind should offer.
The SAY 32 is built to be driven, and the experience is where the carbon investment is felt. The combination of low weight, duo-prop drives and a stiff hull gives her reflexes that heavier boats cannot match, with quick, confident turns and a planing attitude that holds steady as speed builds. Shock-absorbing seats take the sting out of a chop, so the pace stays enjoyable rather than punishing. CE Category B certification confirms she is engineered for offshore conditions, not just sheltered bays, and the efficient hull means owners can use the performance without watching the fuel gauge. For a boat sold on the thrill of driving, she delivers a genuinely involving helm.
Priced from around 574,900 euros and fully configurable, the SAY 32 is the most affordable way into carbon-fibre ownership from the German yard. Running costs stay low thanks to the light hull and efficient Volvo Penta drivetrains, and the compact dimensions cut berthing and handling costs that larger sportsboats incur. Build quality rests on full carbon construction and the same methods used across the range, so the entry model shares the flagship engineering rather than a cheaper substitute. Customisation runs deep, letting each owner specify finishes, seating and engine package to suit. For a buyer who values how a boat is made and wants performance in a size that goes anywhere, the SAY 32 is a precise and compelling choice.
