However, there's a notable exception to the rule in the form of Frauscher – few motorboat manufacturers make such consistently beautiful boats, and the latest, the 858 Fantom, is no exception. Packing a 430hp engine, the 858 Fantom can surpass 40 knots on the open sea. But it’s really at its best in the harbour, where the water level will visibly rise thanks to the drooling of hordes of envious onlookers.
