Bounty Forward Steer Models

Buccaneer Range:
Bounty’s first design, The 37ft Mk I launched for 1973, over the following years many were built, their single level being very popular and ideal as holiday boats. Good numbers still run on hire today, with many others in private hands. Features include a deep forward well & a sliding sunroof over the forward saloon.

At 37ft a variety of different layouts were built offering between 4 and 8 berths and one or two bathrooms.

Below: The 30ft version had one less sleeping cabin, normally accommodating between 2 and 5. Instantly recognisable by just two side windows, and with square edges rather than the rounded edges of her bigger Sister.

Below: The MK II Buccaneer 37 had a fixed screen forward and a full sliding canopy over the saloon. A Mk III followed which had the sliding canopy and a forward well.

The Buccaneer 44 was the longest version built. Up to eleven berths and a variety of different layouts appear. The MK III version including a full sliding canopy & well forward, as with her smaller 37ft MK III version.

Buccaneer 28:
The smallest of this range, introduced around 1980 with up to 4 berths and a narrower (10ft 10“ beam) and with a full sliding canopy over the saloon.
