We're at the Southampton International Boat Show this week, proudly supporting Yamaha as part of our valued Authorised Dealer partnership. The Boat Show is always a great opportunity to showcase our heritage and expertise with Yamaha’s premium outboards but also to talk about other offerings that are part of the Yamaha family.

Terhi ABS boats are solid, durable boats made in Finland. Easy to handle, they make great day boats - perfect for gentle family cruising, a bit of sporty fun or a reliable tender.

For the duration of the Boat Show, we are offering some package options for the Terhi 400 and Terhi 480 Sport models:

Until 27 September, you can buy a Terhi 400 or 480 Sport as part of some special Boat Show packages from us here at The Outboard Centre. Your boat will come fitted with accessories such as rails and cushions for comfort and style plus a fully-rigged Yamaha outboard. For easy land transportation, the package includes a trailer ... and to ensure your new outboard has the best care, your first service is included for free!

Please contact us on 01243 512374 or [email protected] for details

Are you after an easy day out on the water?

Meet the Terhi 400 – a compact, capable and surprisingly inexpensive boat!

The Terhi 400 is ideal for family cruising or as an everyday get-around on the water. Its simple design and elegant shape mean the Terhi 400 is spacious and gives a smooth and comfortable ride.

For power, choose between a Yamaha petrol outboard (up to 15hp) or, for an eco-friendly option, a Torqeedo electric drive also delivers – have a look at our video to see both in action and we can help and advise on options and the best choice to suit you.

For shorter hops, the Terhi 400 is easily rowed - making it a real all rounder, easily handled by all.

Seats, oars and rowlocks come as standard, as do 2 lockable storage chambers for battery, fuel tank, an anchor and more valuable items. Options to add side rails, cushions, cleats, covers and other accessories are on offer, meaning the boat can be tailored to suit your needs – again, talk to us about what you’d like and we can advise.

If the above sounds interesting, please contact us and we’ll be delighted to discuss your thoughts and give you more details!

Contact us at The Outboard Centre for more details – we offer bareboat, engine and trailer prices and can often offer packages.
Our knowledgeable team can help create the perfect Terhi 400 for your needs.
