Parker 780 Escape

New from the respected Polish yard, Parker is the nifty, nimble, trailerable and feature-filled 780 Escape.

The 7.99-metre cabin cruiser inspired by the 850 Voyager, provides the same standards in comfort and amenities at more affordable price.
Designed for bays, rivers, and coastal cruising, with space for up to eight guests on board, the new model Parker 780 Escape has a sporty profile, with the hallmark double-stepped hull for smooth ride and economical performance.

The new 780 Escape has been widened to a 2.55-metre beam, allowing designers to add several impressive innovations that enhance the on-board experience.

The transom duckboard is separated into two around the outboard for ease of access into the water and on to the vessel. A removable gate on the starboard side between transom and cockpit adds to safety and aesthetics. A folding ladder us stored in its own locker.

For guests to relax and socialise, this compact cruiser boasts a spacious aft lounge with fold-out table and U-shaped bench seating. The double backrest position means seats can “flip” direction so guests can dine together, then reverse the rear seat orientation to watch the on-water fun, while the front bench seat can switch for two guests to sit alongside the helm chair.

The helm chair can be raised or lowered to allow the skipper to sit or stand. The windshield has a central opening for access to the foredeck. Here, guests can recline on sunpads and enjoy this additional leisure space.

A protective bimini comes as standard and can be erected easily to completely enclose the cockpit, where seating transforms into a bunk for overnight guests.

A new feature on this model is the galley unit to starboard with stove, sink and storage – ideal for entertaining alfresco!

Separated from the cabin by a sliding door, the cabin below has been made more spacious than the previous model. The double bed is surrounded by shelves and cupboards for ample storage. There are two slit hull windows, windows in the ceiling and a circular hatch window for natural light and ventilation. Curtains ensure privacy.

The ensuite comprises a toilet and sink, with additional storage, mirror, and window.

As for propulsion, the 780 Escape is powered by a 250 hp Honda single outboard. There’s a comprehensive list of optional extras to customise your boat, including accessories such as ski pole.

Parker 780 Escape is a fantastic family-friendly day boat with plenty of room and the mod-cons required for overnight, or weekend stays on board. Available now for immediate delivery.
