The ultimate in luxury and practicality.

The 2007 Paris Boat Show marked the launch of Arvor’s premier model, the 280 AS Deluxe.

Designed for fishermen who demand and expect the very best, the new 280 AS Deluxe draws on Arvor’s extensive experience in designing practical yet luxurious and user-friendly boats.

There’s power to spare from the 4.2 litre Cummins MerCruiser Diesel with capacious 390L fuel tank. Ease of use is assured thanks to standard fit hydraulic steering, a bow thruster, trim tabs, dual electric wipers and full engine instrumentation and an electric switch panel with circuit breakers.

Practicality is enhanced by three electric bilge pumps and stainless steel keel and propeller protection as well as an electric windlass and a revised, longer swinging bow roller.

Nine passengers can be accommodated in four berths and facilities including vinyl linings, tropical wood finishes, a cockpit and baggage compartment, a toilet compartment. The galley features a sink and tap together with a burner cooker and a storage container.

For the fisherman, the Arvor 280 AS Deluxe incorporates a livewell with pump and a fish locker with ice while three wooden foldable cockpit benches are provided for moments of relaxation. An artificial teak laminate covers the floor in the cabin and pilothouse which are equipped with a comprehensive array of gauge. For a full listing of equipment see specifications at the back.
