This model is also available in four versions: the SeaBoater 72 Carbon Race, a full performance sport racing yacht; the Carbon Classic, a ship with a clean classic appearance; the Deck Saloon model which features a bigger deck saloon than the previous two; and finally, the SeaBoater 72 Carbon Deck Saloon Hard Top, a practical hard top version of the yacht only available with the solar engine.

SeaBoater allows prospective owners to change the number of cabins they prefer in the 100 Carbon yacht as well as their configuration. Clients may also change several on-deck features to suit their liking or needs better and have free reign as long as no changes are asked to be made to the hull design itself, to critical bulkheads on the yacht, or to its key operating systems.
