Duchy 35 in Big Swell – Smooth Ride or Rough Surprise?
Join us as we put the Duchy 35 through its paces in real offshore swell. How does this luxury motor launch handle waves and rough seas? Watch the brief sea trial review.
The Duchy 35 motor launch is built to blend classic style with modern performance, and in this video we put it to the test in medium to large Sydney swells. This sea trial shows how the boat handles real-world conditions, giving you a true sense of its seaworthiness and stability offshore. If you’re researching how the Duchy 35 performs when the seas get lively, this walkthrough delivers everything you need to know.
Out on the water, the 35 shows its composure thanks to a semi-displacement hull that delivers a confident, smooth ride through chop and swell. The full-length keel adds reassuring stability, keeping the boat tracking straight and steady even when the waves build. Power comes from a pair of twin Yanmar V8 engines, which provide plenty of thrust for effortless acceleration and control, whether you’re cruising the harbour or pushing offshore. Inside, the leather seating and finely finished interior mean you’re never sacrificing comfort, even in tougher conditions.
For anyone considering a boat in this size and class, the real questions are always about seaworthiness, handling, and comfort at sea. In this test, you’ll see exactly how the Duchy 35 responds when conditions turn challenging – and why its design makes it stand out among modern motor launches.
