Bayliner has announced the European launch of the all-new V22 and V22i, a next-generation bowrider series designed to deliver style, versatility and value for families and boating enthusiasts across Europe.

Building on the success of the popular VR6 platform, the V22 Series introduces a modern sculpted profile, expanded cockpit space and a range of premium features tailored for the European market.

The V22 outboard and V22i sterndrive models will make their European debut at major boat shows throughout the region this autumn, including HISWA (Netherlands), Southampton International Boat Show (UK), Grand Pavois La Rochelle (France), Interboot Friedrichshafen (Germany), Genoa International Boat Show (Italy), Boatshow Poland (Warsaw) and Barcelona International Boat Show.

"For more than a decade, Bayliner's VR Series has helped introduce thousands of families to boating around the world," said Vittorio Bichucher, President, Venture Boat Group. "The V22 Series builds on that successful foundation with a more refined design, greater comfort and the versatility today's European boaters expect."

The V22 Series features sculpted hull sides, a wider and more open cockpit layout, and twin captain's seats with 180-degree swivel functionality. Thoughtful conveniences such as integrated courtesy lighting, multiple phone charging locations and abundant onboard storage further enhance the experience for boaters and guests.

Purpose-built for European boating

In addition to its standard features, the European-specification V22 and V22i include a host of options and amenities designed to maximize comfort on longer days under way or at anchor. Highlights include:

Bimini top with full enclosure
Integrated galley featuring a sink, portable stove and drawer refrigerator
Electric bow windlass
Adjustable sun pad with inclining headrest
Spacious U-shaped or L-shaped cockpit seating layouts
Premium real teak cockpit table
Gatorstep flooring options
Available Mercury outboard power up to 250hp on the V22 and MerCruiser sterndrive power up to 250hp on the V22i

Measuring 6.99 metres in length with a 2.54-metre beam, the V22 offers seating for up to 12 people, while the V22i accommodates up to 11 passengers. Both models feature a 20-degree deadrise hull and are designed to deliver confident handling and a comfortable ride in a variety of boating conditions.

"Every aspect of the V22 Series was designed around making time on the water easy, enjoyable and memorable," said John Barbier, Director of Design and Strategy, Venture Boat Group. "From the spacious seating arrangements to the premium onboard amenities, these boats provide the versatility consumers want whether they're cruising the coast, enjoying watersports or spending a relaxing afternoon with family and friends."

The V22 and V22i are available with multiple packages, engine configurations and color combinations, allowing owners to tailor their boat to their preferred style and boating activities.
