Quicksilver Activ 455 Open – For the Discerning Entry-Level Customer

The Quicksilver Activ 455 Open is the latest model to join Quicksilver’s open-console range. This compact, entry level craft is packed with intelligent design features and boasts all the safety and quality standards that you would expect from the award-winning Quicksilver brand.

Safety first

The Activ 455’s ultra-modern hull, deep cockpit, and unsinkable design provide guaranteed safety for all on board. Features including anti-slip flooring, easy-grip railing, and convenient swim platforms that double as secure access to the boat, ensure the safest possible ride. The high wrap-around windshield and larger than average dashboard console ensures maximum cockpit protection and superior navigation facilities thanks to improved visibility and readability.

Versatility

Despite its compact size, the interior feels spacious and is easy to move around, even when the boat is at speed. Ingenious storage solutions include two separate storage areas in the boat and an additional lockable storage area below the aft bench.

The Activ 455 offers many ways to enjoy the water – from cruising and bathing to fishing, recreation and transportation. Its versatile interior, easy access, large bathing platform and comfortable seating for up to 5 people, provides the flexibility to enjoy many activities on board.

The Activ 455 can take a Mariner or Mercury FourStroke outboard up to 60hp. The engine configuration is designed to be amongst the largest horsepower output for a boat of this size.

High-quality build materials and easy-access service areas make the 455 a low maintenance boat.

“The launch of the compact, Activ 455 offers exactly what the discerning entry-level customers need. Thanks to its highly competitive price, the renowned Quicksilver quality is now accessible to this important market segment,” comments Ben Allen, General Manager, Marine Leisure Division, E. P. Barrus Ltd.
