Parker Sorrento 100 Boat Review

Overview

This Parker Sorrento 100 is a boat that surprises you with clever ideas that utilize the available space in both functional but also stylish ways. If you are a buyer of a family style sports cruiser and you want to combine elegant external lines with good accommodation for parents and the kids then this is a boat that will do it for you.

The outboard power also gives you a very high cruising speed and shallow water access that you just cannot get with inboards and for those of us in warm countries it's so much better for 12-month's of in water storage.

This is a production builder from Poland so the quality appears the same at your Beneteau and Jeanneau competition which is totally acceptable for someone wanting a boat to go boating, enjoy a few summers and then trade up into something different. I say this because boats that appeal to a family market with two cabins seem to always do well on the used market so your ability to move onto the next boat is not hindered..

This is only the second Parker I have tested in my life so I cannot claim to be an expert on this brand but from what I saw they appear to be good, fun, stylish boats that compete with the bigger name brands. This is a worthy competitor to have on your list.
