British sports boat manufacturer, Fletcher, announces the details of its stunning new F23, set to launch in July 2023 and be ready for delivery from March 2024.

A completely new design from Fletcher, the F23 will initially launch as a petrol outboard before the brand introduces a fully electric version in Autumn 2024. The new model sets a new standard for the brand, blending its iconic retro heritage with modern design and unique innovations. Constructed with luxury and performance at the forefront, the F23 boasts the same high levels of craftsmanship and exquisite design expected from Fletcher.

A new introduction, the F23 features a frameless tinted wraparound windshield with a hinged centre section, which swings open to provide walk-through access to the bow lounge with sunken seating. At the stern, a full-width integrated bathing platform offers the ultimate relaxing space, extends the waterline, and can act as a platform for waterskis and wakeboards.

Designed entirely in-house at Fletcher, the F23 is set to reach speeds of 50mph thanks to its 300hp outboard and innovative fibreglass and fibre carbon sandwich construction. The exterior design features styling cues of previous Fletcher models, such as a deep-vee hull and cockpit swivelling bucket seats. With seating to the front and sunbeds to the rear, she can comfortably hold up to eight passengers on board, offering plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing with a Fusion audio system and subwoofer. Other features include a removable picnic table, ski storage underneath the sunbeds, a multifunctional steering wheel, a multitouch 12" display, GPS, and a digital compass.

Fletcher, comments, "This is an incredibly exciting time for Fletcher as the launch of the F23 not only marks our first new model in twenty years, and the first in the F series but also highlights a major step in our new direction towards it's a fully electric offering in 2024. We have developed this model with our customers in mind and with entertainment at the heart, and we hope they love it as much as we do!"

The F23 is the first in its series and features Fletcher's signature design whilst embracing its heritage and performance. The Fletcher F23 will be available from £175,000 excluding VAT and is available in six colours.
