With the new Tuccoli T235 SF, Tuccoli Marine introduces a fresh perspective to the compact fishing boat segment, bringing the philosophy of the Executive Sport Vessel (ESV) to this size category for the first time.
This is a design approach derived directly from the professional sector, applied to recreational boating with the aim of ensuring structural robustness, reliability and consistent performance over time. Not merely a stylistic evolution, but a precise technical choice: prioritising structural thickness and build quality over mere weight optimisation.
The new Tuccoli T235 SF is not just an advanced fishing boat, but a design that brings construction standards typical of professional use to private pleasure boating. A deliberate choice, reflected in every aspect of the boat, which responds to an increasingly clear market demand: reliable, robust vessels capable of tackling the sea with genuine confidence. 
Category B in 7 metres: a benchmark for safety and control
One of the most significant features of the T235 SF is its Design Category B, a rare feature in boats of this size. At just 7.2 metres in length, the boat is designed to tackle challenging conditions, with waves up to 4 metres and force 8 winds.
This is not merely a technical specification, but a feature that transforms the sailing experience. It means being able to head out with greater peace of mind, cope with changing conditions without stress, and always maintain a sense of control.
Hull and construction: substance first and foremost
The design of the T235 SF stands out for its clear approach: prioritising substance. The hull is constructed from biaxial fabrics and follows a philosophy of over-engineering, where robustness is not an excess, but a guarantee.
On the water, this choice is immediately apparent. The boat moves progressively, without sudden reactions, with a stability that instils confidence even when the sea becomes rough. Vibrations are minimal, the handling is predictable and the overall sensation is that of a solid platform, built to last.
Outdoor spaces: versatility for fishing and life on board
The deck is designed to adapt to different uses, without any compromise. The cockpit can be configured for fishing, with livewells and rod holders, yet at the same time it quickly transforms into a convivial space.
The fold-down and retractable seats allow you to switch from one configuration to another naturally, without complications. It is precisely this flexibility that is one of the project’s strengths: a boat that changes function without losing its coherence.
Interior: essential yet practical comfort
Below deck, the T235 SF surprises with its balance between size and liveability. The forward cabin offers a V-shaped double bed over two metres long, whilst the separate bathroom with shower adds a level of comfort rarely found in this segment.
There are no frills, but everything you need is in the right place. Even the galley under the hardtop helps make the boat suitable for longer trips, transforming it into a good option for short cruises as well.
Tuccoli T235 SF performance and handling at sea
The engine options include configurations with one or two outboard motors, up to a total power output of 300 horsepower. Performance is in keeping with the boat’s character: lively, yet always manageable.
The stated top speed reaches around 42 knots, but it is at intermediate speeds that the T235 SF performs at its best. Planing is progressive, the trim remains balanced and the ride is smooth, without the need for constant corrective action… but we’ll be certain of this when we test it at sea!
Among the most interesting new features introduced by Tuccoli Marine is the Digital Boat Passport, based on NFC technology integrated into the hull.
A system that provides easy access to all the boat’s information, from the materials used to its maintenance history. An important step forward in terms of transparency and value management over time, which is becoming increasingly central to the nautical market.
A boat for those seeking ’substance”
The Tuccoli T235 SF is a boat that does not focus on visual impact. It does not seek to impress with extreme solutions or aggressive design, but wins you over with its balance, consistency and solidity.
It is designed for those who live on the water regularly, for those who seek reliability even before pure performance. In an increasingly crowded segment, it stands out precisely for this reason: because it puts the real sailing experience at the heart of everything.
