At 8.9 metres, the Invictus 280 GT is a sport-hulled vessel built for speed rather than volume, carrying up to eight guests across an open, low-slung deck. A single cabin below gives a place to change, stow bags or shelter briefly from wind, but the boat is designed to be lived on top of, not inside — the helm sits close to the water, and the layout favours movement over fixed seating.
It suits a shorter format of charter: leaving harbour after breakfast, running along the coast at pace, then slowing to anchor off a quiet stretch of water for swimming before lunch on shore. There is no cabin space for overnight stays, and the boat is better matched to a half-day or full-day outing than a multi-day route, with fuel use tied directly to how far and how fast the group wants to travel.
The size makes it a natural choice for couples, small groups of friends or families with older children who want direct contact with the boat rather than a larger crewed vessel. It also works well as a first outing for guests weighing whether to charter something bigger later in the season, since the day rate and running costs stay easy to follow from the outset.
