Island Life – September 2007

There are those who prefer the gently, gently approach, traveling in harmony with nature, often slowly and entailing a certain amount of physical exertion and even discomfort at times: think bicycles on land , sailing yachts at sea. And then there are those who want to travel style and comfort. Preferably fast. Think sports cars, powerboats and private jets. The Stealth 540, only the second of its kind to be built, is a power boat all right, adn is sure to appeal to speed freaks. But it's not only about speed: this is not a boat that slots easily into any one pigeonhole. Download Full Review as PDF file

Navegar Magazine – October 2007

Barcelona, Spain (Navegar Magazine): The October issue of Spain's premier yachting magazine 'Navegar' featured the new Stealth 540 Motor Yacht on the cover. "Driving Faster, even with waves, low on fuel consumption. We are talking about a fly bridge motor cruiser. The STEALTH 540 has arrived, discover new limits!!!" states Gabriel Mir Senior Editor Of Navegar' magazine. "When we say a cruising speed of 30 knots and fuel burn of 85 liters per hour most people don't realize how significant these numbers are: example a similar vessel in size and weight would do a top speed of around 30 knots. The STEALTH cruises at this speed, the similar vessel would use twice the amount of fuel to maintain this speed!" Download Full Review as PDF file

Power and Motor Yacht Magazine – May 2007

It's not surprising that the waters just outside Miami right after a boat show are chockablock with gorgeous high-performance yachts doing wide-open-throttle, loop-d-loop demos, photo shoots, or just blasting off for home. And what better place to experience the Stealth 540's oh-so-surprising top end? Time after time - it's addictive - we slipped this 54-foot luxury cruiser into a slipstream, pinned the twin Bosch electronic controls, waited a moment while the five-blade, surface-piercing props wound up (a good chance to glance aft as the twin roostertails climbed some 35 feet), then felt her narrow hulls gently rise a couple of feet out of the water as her speed got up around 20 mph, then 30, then 40...right up to 50 mph plus, by which time we'd be over the wake and grinning our "bye-bye" condolences.

Prestige Boating and Yachting – February 2007

The new STEALTH 540 is a high performance foil supported flybridge cruiser, a perfect combination of performance, efficiency and opulence. The yacht is a result of the collaboration of some of the world’s most experienced boating professionals. Professor Hoppe, technical adviser to Stealth yachts and developer of the award winning HYSUCAT design; MAN common rail technology; Q-SPEED surface drives from New Zealand; TMQ electronic steering; have all extended their knowledge to develop this unique and exciting yacht. The striking factor that enables the Stealth to stand alone in the market place is that she has been designed around the foil parameters, as opposed to the many vessels merely boasting post fitting foils, which with efficient power performance curves makes the Stealth up to 40% more fuel efficient and faster than a vessel similar in size. The end result brings your cruising grounds closer, and makes it much easier on the pocket. Download Full Review as PDF file

Prestige Boating and Yachting – December 2006

On 24th November we were greeted by the stealth team. This highly efficient team was able to precisely divulge the improvements that had taken place with regard to the Stealth. I was simply blown out of the water by what they had achieved. The hospitality was splendid. The team was able to convert a dusty workshop into a fully carpeted, sparklingly clean entertainment area. We were then invited to go onboard. It proved to be a true exhibition of South Africa’s design and boat building prowess. Bruce then took to the podium to inform us about what was achieved with the redesign of hull number 1. Download Full Review as PDF file
