A modern Clear hull with a quiet Yamaha heart
Aries is a newly produced Italian boat with high sides for capacity and safety, paired with a Yamaha 40‑hp four‑stroke engine that’s described as powerful, ecological and very quiet — an optimal combination for comfortable lake cruising.
Easy access: no license, simple rules
The boat is certified for operation without a nautical license, making it accessible for people who want to pilot a dayboat without formal certification; capacity is limited and operators set conditions to keep outings safe and straightforward.
Spacious, secure layout for kids and groups
High bulwarks and a roomy deck make Aries particularly suitable for families; the boat’s configuration emphasizes space and safety so parents can relax on short excursions and lake‑side sightseeing.
What the day feels like
What the outing feels like
A typical outing aboard Aries is low‑key and focused on the water: boarding a newly built Clear hull, settling under the complimentary sun awning, and running quietly across the lake on a refined Yamaha 40‑hp motor. The design favors comfortable, stable cruising rather than sporty maneuvering, so the emphasis is on relaxed sightseeing, family time and short hops along the shoreline.
