The Rapsody R36 Cabrio is an exceptionally stylish combination of timeless lines, sporty performance, and modern comfort. With its classic Rapsody design, elegant blue hull, and spacious open cockpit, this is a motor yacht that immediately catches the eye. At the same time, the extensive refit completed in 2025 makes her particularly appealing from a technical standpoint: virtually everything you need for comfortable and carefree cruising has been renewed or modernized.
“Lyran’s” greatest asset is undoubtedly her fully overhauled powertrain. In 2025, two Volvo Penta D6 engines, each delivering a whopping 370 pk, were installed. Both engines have been fully overhauled and come with a one-year warranty and complete documentation. With a total of 740 pk, this R36 delivers impressive performance, while the combination with the new H10 propellers and the Humphree system ensures optimal control and a comfortable ride. The engines have logged only approximately 100 operating hours.
Maneuvering on this R36 has also been taken to an exceptionally high level. Both the bow and stern thrusters were replaced in 2025 and equipped with proportional controls. In combination with the Shipcontroller, which allows both engines and the thrusters to be controlled via a joystick, “Lyran” is exceptionally easy and precise to maneuver. This is particularly convenient in ports, when docking, and when maneuvering in tight spaces. The R36 is also equipped with Humphree trim tabs, also installed in 2025.
Technical upgrades have also been implemented in the navigation and electrical systems. On board, you’ll find a large 16-inch Garmin chartplotter/fishfinder, Garmin GPS, depth sounder, AIS, VHF radio, and autopilot. The stereo system has also been updated. The electrical system has been rewired and equipped with new main circuit breakers and six new batteries. This means that not only the propulsion system but also the onboard electronics have been thoroughly overhauled.
Inside, the R36 offers the comfort you’d expect from a yacht of this size. There are two cabins and four fixed berths, while the salon offers a headroom of approximately 1.90 meters. The practical layout, Webasto heating, two refrigerators, and an electric head make the boat suitable for both comfortable day trips and longer stays on board. Outside, the spacious open cockpit serves as the natural focal point, featuring a teak deck, cockpit table, outdoor cushions, and a swim platform.
With a length of 11.99 meters, a width of 3.55 meters, and a shallow draft of just 70 centimeters, the R36 is also highly versatile. The shipyard itself describes the distinctive Rapsody design as a combination of style and comfort that has been deliberately designed to be timeless.
“Lyran” is therefore not just a Rapsody R36 that has been cosmetically modernized, but a yacht in which, in 2025, a substantial investment was made in propulsion, maneuverability, navigation, and electrical systems. For those seeking a classically styled, fast, and prestigious motor yacht featuring modern technology and a very comprehensive range of equipment, this is a particularly interesting R36.
