The J Craft Torpedo has proved popular with consumers in the European market over the last 12 months, particularly in places like Monaco and St Tropez. The company retailed a number of boats in the final quarter of 2010 and already has a number of forward orders for new hulls in 2011.

J Craft is now preparing to enter the US market where it hopes to repeat this success.
J Craft’s Johan Attvik, speaking ahead of the show, said, “With under a month to go before the start of the show, we’re very excited. We have been speaking to a number of potential customers, opinion formers and members of the press and the reaction we have received so far has been very positive. The J Craft Torpedo is a very stylish, luxurious and capable vessel and we believe that American buyers will appreciate the boats combination of classic looks and contemporary power.”
