The leisure boating market continues to evolve as manufacturers focus on versatility, safety, and ease of ownership. For the 2026 season, Terhi Boats has introduced three new models designed to expand its lineup of compact leisure boats: the Terhi 400 CC, Terhi 450 TC, and Terhi 480 CC.
These new additions strengthen Terhi’s reputation for building durable, practical, and nearly unsinkable boats that perform well in challenging northern European conditions. With growing support from its distribution partnership with Yamaha Motor UK, the brand continues to bring reliable, Yamaha-ready leisure boats to a wider market.
The new models focus on the 4–5 metre segment, offering both centre console and twin-console configurations that appeal to recreational boaters, anglers, and families looking for stable and easy-to-handle vessels.
Terhi 400 CC – Compact Versatility for Everyday Boating
The Terhi 400 CC is a compact centre console boat designed to deliver nimble handling and practical usability. Measuring four metres in length, it offers a lightweight and responsive hull that makes launching, trailering, and manoeuvring simple—even for newer boaters.
The model supports outboard engines up to 20hp, making it suitable for a wide range of activities such as:
- Inland water cruising
- Nearshore leisure boating
- Fishing trips
- Tender duties
Its central helm position improves visibility and allows passengers to move freely around the deck. With space for up to four people and a CE Category C classification, the 400 CC provides an accessible and reliable entry point into the Terhi lineup.
Terhi 450 TC – Comfort and Protection for Family Boating
The Terhi 450 TC introduces a twin-console layout to the popular 450 platform, offering additional comfort and improved weather protection. A two-piece door between the consoles creates a sheltered cockpit area, which can be particularly useful for day cruising or transporting supplies to waterside cottages.
Despite the added protection, the design maintains a spacious open deck, making the boat versatile enough for both cargo transport and fishing.
Key highlights include:
- Capacity for five passengers
- Recommended engine power up to 40hp
- High freeboards for added safety
- Stable and predictable handling
These features make the 450 TC an appealing option for families and recreational boaters who want comfort without sacrificing practicality.
Terhi 480 CC – A Spacious Centre Console for Active Boating
For those looking for more space and power, the Terhi 480 CC offers a larger centre console layout built on the well-known 480 hull. The design provides generous deck space for fishing, coastal cruising, and light transport duties.
The boat is designed to support outboard engines between 40–60hp, delivering stronger performance while maintaining the stability and safety characteristics the Terhi range is known for.
The open layout prioritizes easy movement around the boat, which is particularly beneficial for anglers and active leisure users who need flexibility while on the water.
Strengthening the Yamaha Dealer Network
The launch of the 400 CC, 450 TC, and 480 CC models reflects Terhi’s continued commitment to practical boat design and expanding availability through its partnership with Yamaha’s dealer network. With a focus on durability, low maintenance, and versatile layouts, these new boats are positioned to attract a wide range of users—from first-time boat owners to experienced anglers seeking reliable compact craft.
As the recreational boating market grows, innovations like these ensure that compact leisure boats remain accessible, efficient, and enjoyable for modern boaters.
