Etap are a large Belgian company with a variety
of products, and have been building yachts since 1970. In
1990 the yacht building division was split off as a separate
company, Etap Yachting. In 2008 Etap Yachting was bought by
Dehler, but in 2009 Dehler then became insolvent.
Etaps have always been 'different' - all their boats are unsinkable,
with double skins and closed-cell polyurethane foam. This
also gives excellent insulation to the interior, minimising
condensation. The company makes extensive use of custom aluminium
and stainless fabrications produced in-house. Etaps are not
cheap, but are very well engineered and built.
Still a current production model, the Etap 37S is a modern
fast cruiser with some unusual but practical design features,
and all the high quality engineering that makes Etaps different
from other production boatbuilders. Etap's own website has
