Quicksilver 280 – interior of sportfish boat with all accessories
The lower deck hides a few conceptual surprises that can also be seen on Guernsey boats, which along with Arvor belong to the same Brunswick product group. A steep wooden staircase leads to the central Arvor 280 area, so that the large and spacious double bed tucked under the stern is only visible when fully lowered into the cabin. The forward berth, on the other hand, doesn’t offer much luxury due to its width, as in addition to the generous toilet space it is also limited by the kitchenette located to the side of the forward section.
The biggest surprise of the Arvor is the kitchenette located deep below deck and we did not expect this in this location. To work in the kitchen you have to move part of the bed and the floor, and all the things you need to work in the kitchen can be stowed in the classic under-bed storage or in the cabinet in the central area. The galley offers only the basics and is not intended for cooking. The Quicksilver Arvor 280 is also equipped with a tap with running water and a cooker, and an oval window is installed above the cooker to ventilate the room and remove steam from cooking. This concept should come as no surprise. Those looking for a boat purely for cruising should bypass this boat, but those who, in addition to an enviable level of comfort, also want a pilothouse equipped and suitable even for professional fishing are in the right place.
