Rodman 940 (2008) For sale

Rodman 940 from 2008,
It is perfectly in line with the robust and versatile stars of the Spanish shipyard. Renowned for its solidity and excellent seaworthiness, this model is particularly appreciated by demanding boaters and fishing enthusiasts. The example offered has a healthy history of use, essentially limited to day trips, without rental or real life on board, which helps to preserve its general condition.
With a length of about 9.33 meters and a width of nearly 3.25 meters, it offers a good compromise between spaciousness and maneuverability. Its Volvo diesel engine developing around 450 horsepower in total ensures balanced performance, with comfortable cruising and the ability to rev up when necessary. The boat has a total of just over 1257 engine hours, which is consistent for its age and programme. The engine runs at a slow fishing pace, ideal for the longevity of the mechanics.
At sea, the Rodman 940 is distinguished by a safe semi-planing hull, capable of effectively absorbing chop and rough conditions. It generally sails at around 15 to 20 knots at cruising speed, while maintaining good stability, a recognized strength on this model. This versatility allows you to enjoy both quiet outings and more committed sailing.
The interior layout is functional and well thought out for a boat of this size. It has two separate cabins: a forward cabin for the owners and a guest cabin with single beds, complemented by adapted storage. The saloon can also be transformed into an extra berth, accommodating up to four to six people on board. The bathroom with electric toilet completes the set. Note that the interior has recently been updated thanks to a covering, which gives it a more modern and neat appearance.
The living area on board is properly equipped for a short cruise or fishing program: kitchen area with sink, stove and microwave, recent refrigerator, hot water, as well as a convertible table. The boat can also be connected to the quay and has a battery charging system, which increases its autonomy during stopovers.
On the navigation side, the equipment is complete and suitable for serious use. These include a GPS plotter, a second Furuno system with a high-performance probe recently installed, an autopilot, a fixed VHF and optimized battery management. This makes it possible to consider sea trips with peace of mind, including for technical fishing-oriented programmes.
Precisely, the boat is particularly well configured for fishing. Its spacious and uncluttered cockpit offers excellent working space, complemented by rod holders, a fish tank and dedicated sockets for electric reels. The swim platform makes it easy to manoeuvre and access the water, while the flow on board is smooth and safe thanks to the well-sized side decks.
The exterior comfort is not to be outdone, with a flybridge offering a second helm station pleasant in good weather, a bimini to protect you from the sun, as well as a cockpit awning. The forward sunbathing area and the ease of movement on deck reinforce the convivial aspect of the boat, whether sailing or at anchor.
Finally, the interview seems to have been followed seriously. Important operations have been carried out regularly, such as cleaning the exchangers or updating the batteries, and all of this is documented in the maintenance logbook. This history is a reassuring point for a future buyer.
In short, this Rodman 940 offers a homogeneous and coherent whole: a hull renowned for its reliability, a proven engine, fishing-oriented equipment and rigorous maintenance. Without seeking luxury, he can
