POWER REVIEW | NEPTUNUS 750 ENCLOSED FLYBRIDGE

ON SECOND
THOUGHT...
By | Andy Adams

I

n the February 2020 issue of Canadian
Yachting magazine, we featured our
review of the Neptunus 750 Flybridge,
the company's flagship yacht. The boat
had been bought by a gentleman from
Newfoundland and we reviewed it just
before it was to be delivered.
We learned later that the boat did not
leave immediately after delivery. The
story is that the new owner reconsidered
the beautiful big open flying bridge layout. Their boat would be based out of
Newfoundland, running in the spectacular
scenery of " The Rock " , but in the Atlantic
and often in cold or inclement weather.
So, on second thought, they decided that
it would be better to enclose the flying
bridge. They sat down with Neptunus
Yachts to engineer what they wanted.
The end result is a new, fully enclosed

flying bridge and it is seamlessly integrated into the 750. In fact, Neptunus
has always offered a 750 SkyLounge
with an interior staircase, but this is the
first time somebody has ordered the 750
Flybridge with a full enclosure. I think
more Neptunus 750 buyers will choose
this option when they see this yacht.
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Neptunus is a semi-custom builder
who works with this proven Gregory C.
Marshall-designed yacht platform and
then they can modify the vessel as the
owner desires, to achieve the yacht of
their dreams. And really, when you are
buying a 75-foot yacht, you are buying
your dream boat, so make the dream
come true!
The team at Neptunus carefully

dismantled everything from the original
flying bridge, then weighed every piece
they removed and all of the new components. The new enclosed bridge was carefully engineered for the additional weight
to compensate and maintain both the trim
and performance.
It is very interesting to discover that
the new performance figures show almost
no change in data despite the additional
weight, but we can tell you there's a huge
difference in comfort. Life in the enclosed
flybridge is almost silent at all speeds!
We were chatting with Jan Willem de
Jong, Neptunus' Managing Director as we
cruised out of the harbour area, just speaking in normal tones. When I looked down
at the instruments, I realized the 750 was
already up to 20 knots at 50% of engine
load. There was just no sense of speed in
