⚡ American Engineering at 70 Knots
Unveiled in Miami on November 10, 2026, the Deep Impact 499 Sport is the new flagship of the Florida-based shipyard. It is not just a boat; it is a statement of power, blending high-end luxury with the raw adrenaline of offshore racing.
The Powerhouse
At the heart of this beast lies a staggering 3,000 horsepower, delivered by six Mercury Racing 500R outboards. This configuration allows the 50-foot vessel to punch through the water at speeds exceeding 70 knots. Unlike typical performance boats, it maintains this velocity even under full operational load.
🛠️ Technical Prowess
Designed for speed, the double-stepped hull minimizes friction while maximizing grip in high-speed maneuvers. Key specs include:
- LOA: 15.34 meters
- Beam: 3.96 meters
- Fuel Capacity: 3,615 liters
As noted in Power & Motoryacht, the stability is remarkable, handling one-meter chop with ease.
Luxury Beyond Speed
Despite its racing pedigree, the 499 Sport is a social hub. It features a climate-controlled cabin with a king-size berth, a private head, and a kitchenette. The aft deck is designed for entertainment, featuring modular seating and a premium sound system.
