My top in this list of inboard powered center consoles, huge day boat with ON accommodation would be the Blue Game, which are build by Sanlorenzo.
IPS aside, which put any boat in the "OMDB" category (but that's me), I must say this is the best suggestion by far.
The BG42 would tick all the OP boxes like no other boats previously mentioned. :encouragement:
 
What seems to be lost in translation is a boat suitable for 10 used for day trips, and a typical genre of boats with minimal accommodation that fall under that catch name. No need to get ruffled either way. You are not going to fit 10 on a typical "dayboat" comfortably or in some cases safely.

I think in another post he said it was for 8 people.

So here you go at the other end of the spectrum a day boat for 8 people

I know a guy who “ day cruisers “ in one of theses https://www.denisonyachtsales.com/yachts-for-sale/160-Overmarine---Mangusta-Imperia/246419-yc

The holiday home is on the S tip of Cap d Antibes between Eden Roc hotel and a well known Russian guys place ,who owns a W London premier league club .
The boat is summoned and crew bring it to the bottom of the garden where they use the tender to embark and return later that day ....... if they can be arsed to go boating that is!

Quite a lot just day boat in all sorts returning to the villa .


Are we supposed to be Impressed or Disgusted
 
How about the obvious...… A Boat that will cruise that does not have sleeping accomodation

Typically, people like the OP with a villa, want a boat that they can take out for a day with friends in some comfort. It needs to have somewhere to prepare some lunch and a table that they can sit around and eat it. Also need somewhere to sunbathe, have a snooze and a platform for swimming etc. It might also have a tender that can be launched for a trip ashore. Probably also need some shady areas to keep the sun at bay.

What it doesn't need is a spacious saloon or cabins.

depends - you might want to have a, shall we be polite and say a snooze after a lazy lunch
 
But I never have a problem sleeping anywhere (it's staying awake that I find difficult)!
I sympathize with you, but I have a funny feeling that what kashurt suggested you might want to have after a lazy lunch is better done wide awake...
...and unless you are interested in a round of applause at the end from other boats anchored nearby, I don't think the deck is the best place for it. :rolleyes:

LOL, I was always a bit slow off the mark!
 
Fair enough (I tend to have such 'snoozes' (ahem) on deck as we have no gennie to power the A/C).

You need to get a gennie and quick Pete lmao ;):eek::eek::encouragement:

Agreed. The old BG 40 was made of shafts though, which is the same as the 42 minus a smaller platform and IPS and IMO a better internal layout.
Daft idea for SL to go with IPS for both the BG and the X line IMO.

I am sure there is a Parable that says something different
Indeed, but that's - if I can put it this way - just a parable (I don't think it's supposed to be capitalized, btw).
You are obviously free to trust a young dreamer who claimed to be God.
In fact, many did, in the last two thousands years, so who am I to argue? Better than Islamic integralism anyway, I reckon.
Otoh, you could also choose to follow the humble but arguably more realistic suggestion of an old cynic.
Pick your poison.
