BALDER 850: The Concept
Go Beyond Speed and Precision
Some boats are made for leisure. Others are engineered for adrenaline.
The Balder 850 Open embodies the spirit of pure performance. Compact, efficient, and fiercely responsive, it’s a machine built for connoisseurs of speed and control: for those who recognize craftsmanship the moment they feel it on the helm.
Born from advanced hydrodynamics and uncompromising engineering, the 850 is not just fast: it’s intelligently fast. Every line, curve, and surface was designed to transform power into precision and stability into confidence.
Go Beyond Performance: Stepped Hull Mastery
The Balder 850 features a twin-step ventilated hull, a design that reduces drag and boosts lift by channeling air beneath the hull. The result is up to 15 percent greater efficiency than conventional hulls, along with remarkable stability and control at high speeds.
• Top speed: 50 knots (twin 250 hp setup)
• Acceleration: 0 to 50 knots in 20 seconds
• Fuel efficiency: approx. 50 L/h at 26–28 knots (both engines)
Built in a single vacuum-infused GRP structure, without manual lamination, the 850 achieves the highest level of structural integrity and finish quality.
Go Beyond Design: Compact Power, Expansive Experience
At 8.45 meters in length and 2.45 meters in beam, the Balder 850 is agile, transportable, and versatile. Its fold-down side platforms create an open, spacious deck when anchored, transforming this performance machine into a floating terrace.
With high 92 cm side walls, the deck remains dry even at high speeds, ensuring both comfort and safety. The narrow beam allows easy trailer transport on any road: a rarity in this class.
Every element serves a dual purpose: aerodynamic when in motion, architectural when at rest.
Go Beyond Engineering: Built for Experts
From the electric steering and joystick control to automatic Zipwake interceptors, every system is designed for intuitive control and professional-grade handling.
The Balder 850 feels alive under your hands: light on the throttles, yet unwavering in direction. It’s a vessel that rewards precision and responds instantly to intent.
