Standard Equipment

1. Standard equipment

The Imagine 115 comes with an exceptionally high level of equipment as standard.

Helm and exterior
Large tempered-glass windshield
Windshield wiper
Large helm station
Two special sport helm seats
Luxury sport steering wheel
Navigation lights
Horn
Electrical panel
Cockpit lighting
Cabin lighting
Hard-top lighting system

The large helm is designed for a substantial electronics installation, with two Garmin 12-inch chartplotters and VHF already included.

2. Two-cabin accommodation

This is one of the Imagine 115's most important features.

Forward owner's cabin

Standard:

Double berth
Wood furniture
Memory-foam mattress
Storage
Cabin lighting
Aft cabin

Standard:

Double berth
Wood furniture
Memory-foam mattress
Storage
Cabin lighting

The boat therefore has two separate double-bed cabins, rather than simply having a convertible bow cabin.

Optional owner's-cabin upgrades

Available upgrades include:

Over-bed wall cupboards
Upholstered headboard/band above the bed
Door separating the atrium from the owner's cabin

These are worthwhile if the boat will actually be used for overnight cruising.

3. Separate head and shower

The standard arrangement includes:

Head compartment
Separate toilet room
Electric marine toilet
60-L black-water tank
Washbasin
Bidet
Grey-water tank
Shower compartment
Separate wide shower room
Composite/laminated-glass door
Cabin shower
Additional shower

There is also an external aft shower.

So the standard boat effectively has:

1 internal shower + 1 external shower + separate WC.

This is a major distinction from many RIBs in this size range.

4. Water system

Standard:

~220-L freshwater tank
Pressurized water system
Internal shower
Aft shower
WC washbasin
External sink
Grey-water tank

The factory's official technical specification gives approximately 220 L freshwater capacity.

5. Galley and refrigeration

The standard Imagine 115 includes:

External/cockpit sink
Galley facilities
80-L refrigerator
Stainless-steel refrigerator installation
Storage
Optional
Upgrade from 80 L to 130 L refrigerator
Induction cooking hob
Ice maker

The induction hob requires 220 V shore power or the optional generator.

6. Fuel system

The standard specification is approximately:

800-L fuel tank

This is a major advantage of the Imagine 115, particularly with the recommended twin 425-hp installation.

7. Anchoring

The anchoring system is unusually well specified as standard:

12-kg stainless-steel Ultra anchor
Stainless-steel bow roller
Electric anchor windlass
Chain
Rope/line
Dual windlass controls

So unlike many smaller ZAR models, you do not have to add an electric windlass as an option—the Imagine 115 includes it.

8. Bilge and safety equipment

Standard:

4 electric bilge pumps
6 stainless-steel mooring cleats
Stainless-steel anchor system
Navigation lights
Horn
Large boarding ladder

Four bilge pumps are appropriate given the size and internal accommodation of the boat.

9. Swimming platforms

The standard specification includes:

Port aft bathing platform
Starboard aft bathing platform
Extra-large stainless-steel boarding ladder
Additional fiberglass side-entry platforms
Side fiberglass platforms bonded to the inflatable tubes
Option
Additional bathing ladder for the starboard side platform

10. Deck finish

Standard:

Flexiteek

It is fitted to:

Cockpit
Rear bathing platforms
Side platforms
Option

Upgrade from Flexiteek to:

Natural teak

covering the cockpit, stern platforms and side platforms.

11. Entertainment

The standard audio/navigation package is already strong:

Navigation
2 × Garmin 12-inch chartplotters
VHF radio
Audio
Fusion sound system
6 speakers
Optional premium audio

Upgrade to the Fusion Apollo MS-RA800 Sport package, with:

Additional amplifier
8 speakers
Subwoofer
2 tweeters
Additional speakers/zones for bow and aft cabin
Additional Fusion control

12. Standard technical storage

At the stern there is a:

Large technical compartment

with an electric lifting mechanism.

This provides access to the technical equipment while avoiding the need to manually lift a very large/heavy hatch.

Options

13. Factory options in detail


Hardtop and shade

The fiberglass hardtop is an option.

You can add:

  • Fiberglass hardtop

  • LED hardtop lighting

  • Carbon-pole aft sunshade

  • Small bow sunshade

  • Stainless-steel bow-sunshade arch

This is one of the first options I would select for a cruising boat.


Generator and shore power

Optional:

Diesel generator

  • COELMO 3.2 kW

  • Separate fuel tank

Shore-power package

  • 2 battery chargers

  • Shore-power connection

  • Shore cable

  • 220-V electrical system

  • Cabin electrical panel

  • Safety switch box

This package dramatically increases the boat's autonomy at anchor/marina.


14. Air conditioning and hot water

Optional:

Air conditioning

  • 10,000 BTU

Boiler

  • 40-L hot-water boiler

  • Requires 220 V shore power or the optional diesel generator

This would be a particularly worthwhile combination if you intend to use the two cabins for overnight cruising in warm climates.


15. Solar system

Optional:

  • Solar panel on T-top/hardtop

  • Additional battery

This is useful for maintaining the house batteries and reducing generator/shore-power dependence.


16. Electronics upgrade

The standard two Garmin 12-inch screens can be upgraded to a much more sophisticated package:

Garmin electronics upgrade

  • 2 × Garmin GPSMAP 8417, 17-inch

  • NMEA 2000 network

  • Garmin VHF with AIS

  • Garmin Fantom 18 radar antenna

  • Garmin EmpirBus smart electrical/domotics system

The EmpirBus system is particularly interesting because it brings centralized monitoring/control of the boat's electrical systems.


17. Bow thruster

Optional:

  • Bow thruster

  • Dedicated battery

  • Battery enclosure

And a further option:

Bow-thruster integration with joystick

For a boat of this size, I would strongly consider the bow thruster, particularly if the boat will be handled by a couple rather than a large crew.


18. Cockpit tables

There is a particularly flexible choice of aft tables.

Options include:

  • Starboard aft teak table with removable leg

  • Port aft teak table with removable leg

  • Starboard table with gas-assisted fixed leg and cushion

  • Port table with gas-assisted fixed leg and cushion

This allows the aft cockpit to be configured more like a dining terrace or lounge.


19. Interior upgrades

For the owner's cabin:

  • Wall cupboards

  • Upholstered headboard/band above berth

  • Door separating atrium and owner's cabin

These options make the owner's cabin considerably more private and useful for extended cruising.


20. Upholstery and finish

Available upgrades include:

  • Tiffany-coloured cushions

  • Dark-grey cushions

  • Custom gelcoat

  • Black/dark-grey hull and cockpit

  • 3M wrap for T-top and helm console

And:

Flexiteek → natural teak

for:

  • Cockpit

  • Stern platforms

  • Side platforms


21. Refrigeration and entertaining

Options include:

  • 80 → 130 L refrigerator upgrade

  • Ice maker

  • Induction cooking hob

The induction hob requires shore power or generator operation.


22. Protection and covers

Available covers include:

  • Bow sofa/sun-lounge cover

  • Cockpit seat/kitchen cover

  • Rear cockpit seating/sunbed cover

There are also premium fender-hook systems:

  • 12 fender hooks

  • 6 on each side

23. Night-vision / thermal imaging

A particularly interesting option is the:


FLIR/Raymarine thermal-imaging package

including:

  • GPS display

  • FLIR M232 thermal camera

  • Installation and setup

This would be one of my recommended options for serious night or offshore coastal cruising.
