Minor 25 video: first look

Finland has the greatest boat ownership per capita in the world, so it should be no wonder they build boats like the Minor 25, which our reviewer Alex Smith spotted at the Southampton Boat Show (read Alex's Minor Offshore 25 full boat review on boats.com). Take a look at what he discovered.

As Alex notes, the Minor 25 looks like it has a regular wheelhouse, but there's a lot that's hidden from view. Like an entire mini-cabin, with its own private berth. But this boat isn't all about interior design, it's also about having a hull that can handle all types of conditions. In fact, Alex liked it so much, he felt it was the most exciting boat at the Southampton Boat Show.

The Minor 25 is built in Finland.
