What a buyer should know
Which Flying Shark is this one?
This is the Flying Shark 5.7 Capri Bowrider. VTS Boats builds the 5.7 in four flavours, and the differences are about deck layout rather than hull. The Bowrider opens the foredeck into a seating well with a walk-through, trading the closed foredeck of the Classic for two extra usable seats and a sociable layout; the Capri trim adds the more finished styling package on top. Choose this one over the 5.7 Classic if you carry people rather than kit, and over the 7.7 if trailering, mooring costs and a smaller budget matter more than a cabin.
What the drivetrain implies
This is where buyers must pay attention. The recorded package is a 6 kW motor and an 8 kWh battery — modest figures that put the boat firmly at displacement and semi-displacement speeds, even though the Flying Shark hull is a planing sportsboat design and VTS offers considerably more powerful drivetrain options across the range. If you are buying the shape expecting sportsboat performance, confirm exactly which motor and battery the €39,750 covers. The six-hour charge time also implies a domestic-socket charger rather than a fast one, so plan on overnight charging.
Speed and endurance are published only in km/h and hours, which makes direct comparison with knot-quoted rivals awkward. Ask for the pack size, the range at cruise, and the charger rating in writing.
