A new Swiss open boat at Lake Constance
Ganz Yachting is presenting the Ovation 7X Open as a trade-fair novelty at Interboot in Friedrichshafen, placing Swiss-built day boating within the show's broad small-craft programme. The 7.50-metre bowrider combines a relatively open guest layout with the builder's emphasis on materials, finish and individual configuration.
For owners who want a boat for local excursions rather than extended offshore passages, the attraction is the balance between seating, places to lounge and room to move around the cockpit. The organiser's listing establishes the model and its appearance at stand B1-103, not a confirmed delivery date for individual orders.
Numbers behind the deck plan
Interboot's entry lists a 2.53-metre beam and a weight of 2,450 kilograms, with a fibreglass hull and maximum draft of 0.55 metres. One inboard diesel engine is specified with listed power ranging from 186 to 321 kilowatts, depending on the configuration.
Those figures give a useful starting point for assessing the boat's suitability for local berths and lifting equipment. Buyers still need builder-confirmed loaded displacement and the exact propulsion package before drawing conclusions about running costs or performance.
The day aboard
The official description highlights broad sunbathing areas and flexible use of space, the familiar priorities of a bowrider intended for time at anchor as much as passage-making. A configurable layout matters when a family needs a different balance between seating, storage and access to the water.
The event photograph identifies the exact model, but a still image cannot establish how easily the side decks or cockpit work with a full complement of guests. An in-person inspection is the appropriate follow-up for prospective owners at the show.
What to check at the stand
The Ovation 7X Open appears in a programme that also includes electric boats, family craft and sailing yachts, making a side-by-side comparison possible. Its specific materials, deck fittings and optional equipment should be confirmed against the build specification rather than assumed from the showcase description.
Interboot runs through 27 September 2026, with the organiser maintaining current exhibitor details. The original model entry and its photograph provide the source for the measurements and stated trade-fair status.
