The 2019 Flipper 700 DC stands out in the competitive 7-meter segment, offering a premium blend of performance, style, and Scandinavian functionality. Flipper has successfully designed a Day Cruiser (DC) that effortlessly transitions from an exciting watersports platform to a comfortable overnight retreat, making it an ideal choice for couples and small families looking for versatile weekend capability.

Overview and Design Philosophy

Built to withstand the rugged conditions of the Nordic seas, the Flipper 700 DC is constructed with quality and durability as core values. Its V-plank hull, designed for optimal deep-V performance, ensures a smooth, stable, and dry ride, even when conditions turn choppy.

The design philosophy is clean, modern, and highly practical:

• Compact but Capable: 7.2m it is perfectly sized for easy trailering, storage, and handling, yet delivers the feeling of a much larger cruiser on the water.
• Aesthetics: The sleek, modern lines and high-quality finishes maintain a premium feel that belies its size.

Cockpit and Entertainment 

The cockpit of the 700 DC is its undisputed highlight, offering superior social space and flexibility:

• U-Shaped Lounge: A generous U-shaped sofa wraps around a removable teak table, easily converting the area into a large sunpad for lounging.
• Swiveling Helm Seats: Both the helm and co-pilot seats swivel 180° to integrate perfectly with the aft social area, creating a spacious dining or conversation zone for up to six people.
• Walk-Through Access: A secure, deep-set windshield opens up, providing safe and easy walk-through access to the bow. This is a critical safety and convenience feature when docking.
• Practical Helm: The helm station is ergonomically designed, featuring clear instrumentation and excellent visibility thanks to the low-profile superstructure.

Accommodation and Practicality

While primarily a day boat, the 700 DC includes a functional cabin that adds significant value for short trips or as essential storage space:

• Spacious V-Berth: The cabin comfortably accommodates a couple overnight with a full-size V-berth.
• Integrated Head: A feature often absent on boats this size, the Flipper includes a dedicated space for a marine toilet, essential for all-day cruising comfort.
• Storage: Ample storage is available both in the cabin and beneath the cockpit seating, allowing for gear, watersports equipment, and provisions to be stowed securely.

Performance and Handling

This 2019 model paired with a powerful Mercury Verado 300 XL outboard engine delivers exhilarating performance:

• Rapid Planing: The boat jumps onto a plane quickly, making it ideal for towing watersports enthusiasts.
• Fuel Efficiency: The deep-V hull is designed for high-speed efficiency, providing excellent range for longer excursions.
• Agile Handling: The boat's responsive steering and precise handling make navigating busy marinas and carving through wakes a pleasure.
