AUKEA 32
Highlighting the deck
Aukea 32 is a statement towards a more simple and serene take on pleasure boating. A high volume cabin cruiser in a way, its austere solutions offer more space and time for the surroundings and passengers of the boat.
Aside from the opening sides, the most prominent design element is the roof pole, which resembles a part of a sailing vessel. The pole provides lighting for the deck area by hosting LEDs and an antenna, but also greatly simplifies the process of shielding the boat from weather, be it rain or sunshine. The user simply pulls a canvas from the pole to the corresponding side of the boat and it is automatically attached to poles protruding from the sides. With one arm, the boat is protected from weather, and passengers can still stand straight.
Aukea32 placed 1st in Millenium Yacht Design Award in 2013 organised by Sea-Tec and Carrara Fiere:
