The ETAP 32s is a quintessential example of the Belgian shipyard’s commitment to safety and engineering precision. Launched in the mid-1990s as a successor to the popular ETAP 32i, the 32s was designed by the French naval architects Mortain & Mavrikios. It was built to meet the rigorous demands of EC Category A (Ocean) certification, a notable feat for a vessel of its size. The "s" designation marks a shift toward more contemporary styling and refined performance compared to its predecessors. Central to its identity is the signature double-hull construction, featuring a closed-cell polyurethane foam core injected between two glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skins. This design not only renders the vessel technically unsinkable—a claim verified by the French Merchant Marine—but also provides exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation, setting it apart from virtually every other production cruiser in the 32-foot class.
