Rover 12 presentation
A subtle balance between the owner’s boat and the passenger boat
A layout for the 4×4 of the sea
Designed by Pierre Delion, the first Rover 12 was built by the Bord à Bord shipyard in Brittany. The partnership between the 2 parties is not new. The naval architecture firm designs boats for pleasure craft and professionals. Bord à Bord, on the other hand, builds aluminum boats for both private and professional customers. Aluminum has many advantages, including quality, strength, aesthetics and flexibility. It’s also eco-responsible, as aluminum is 98% recyclable. We have many fine projects to their credit.
The philosophy of the project is based on the hybrid Pleasure boat/Pro aspect.
Vedette with hybrid layout
The first Rover 12, Fleur de Sel, was launched for the first time on July 4, 2021. This 12-meter launch can be used for pleasure boating, or approved as a NUC (commercial use vessel) to carry up to 12 passengers. Designed in aluminum, this houseboat is powered by a Suzuki 2 x 325hp engine supplied by Loc Marine Service.

The Rover 12 is considered an excellent cab boat. It is also ideal for pleasure boating and coastal cruising. Its layout is bright, simple and functional. Available in 1 or 2 cabin versions. Its latest-generation hull gives it very seaworthy handling. Wave handling is excellent, and stability remains natural, both when sailing and at anchor. Thanks to their versatility, Rover 12s are considered true 4x4s for the sea. Discover now the first Rover 12 model where Dream Racer Boats has collaborated with Pierre Delion and Bord à Bord to create the interior design.
Fleur de Sel
This 12-metre boat will sail in southern Brittany. Fleur de Sel will be used both as a cab boat and as a cruising boat, from Port-la-Forêt to the Glénans islands.
Adapted materials that last.
The choice of materials was primarily based on their durability, due to the intensive use of passenger ships. Our team opted for oak with a special coating to create a warm athmosphere. This colorless coating is highly resistant to wear and abrasion over time.
A design created and imagined for this Rover 12
Dream Racer Boats was asked to design and produce the interior layout for this boat. The computer-generated views enabled the customer to project himself into his future boat, using the selection of materials proposed by Dream Racer Boats. To create the interior layout of Fleur de Sel, our team worked with the 3D model of the boat.
The work was carried out remotely. The boat remained in its home port, while the layout modules for this Rover 12 were entirely assembled in our Dream Racer Boats workshop.
Craftsmanship in the service of made-to-measure
The design chosen for Fleur de Sel combines robustness and quality. So it’s a pleasure to live aboard in comfort and serenity. White is also used on the walls, worktops, benches and some small fittings, such as the washbasin. This neutral colour enhances the other colours and the oak furniture. It also brings light and serenity to the room. The result is a pleasant feeling of being at home. The white colour visually enlarges the space, giving this 12-metre boat a sense of volume.
A project defined by the shipowner and adapted to tourist transport
There’s a bright, functional living room, a kitchen equipped with 2 stoves, a sink and plenty of storage space. The bathroom features a washbasin. The cockpit also matches the interior layout. The Rover configuration offers a wealth of possibilities. Fleur de Sel truly has its own identity. The configuration is a blend of passenger transport and private cruiser.
Customize your Rover 12
The Rover 12 is a highly versatile boat. It offers a wide range of customization options, in terms of interior layout, technical equipment, and interior and exterior finishes. It can also be configured for sport fishing, cruising or passenger transport. A wide range of configurations. Interior layouts can be semi-customized to suit the owner’s wishes. You can choose from a range of layout modules and optional equipment, depending on your needs and desires (fish tank unit, outdoor plancha unit, sundeck, etc.).
The Rover 12 is therefore multifunctional and can be customized by the owner. The vessel can be used as both a professional boat and a pleasure craft. Follow the news on Bord à Bord and Dream Racer Boatsto find out more about the different versions of this Rover 12.
