boot Düsseldorf 2026: Motorboat premieres

boot Düsseldorf 2026 unveils international motorboat premieres, showcasing innovative yachts, cruisers, tenders, and luxury vessels with cutting-edge design and performance.

boot Düsseldorf 2026 showcases a wide array of international motorboat premieres, bringing together leading shipyards and innovative new models across day boats, tenders, cruisers, and luxury yachts. As one of the world’s foremost water sports trade fairs, boot Düsseldorf provides a platform for cutting‑edge designs, performance breakthroughs, and global industry trends in the motorboating segment.

Sanlorenzo SD90

The Sanlorenzo SD90 is a refined 28‑metre semi‑displacement yacht that debuted at boot Düsseldorf 2026, showcasing Italian craftsmanship, innovative design and enhanced efficiency. Positioned as a more compact and accessible model in Sanlorenzo’s SD line, the SD90 combines generous, flexible living spaces across two and a half decks with elegant exterior lines by Zuccon International Project and thoughtful interior solutions that elevate onboard comfort and spatial perception. Its design integrates advanced insulation and propulsion strategies to reduce consumption and environmental impact. With accommodation for guests and crew, the SD90 represents a harmonious balance of performance, sustainability and sophisticated yachting lifestyle.

Bluegame BGX83

The Bluegame BGX83 is the new flagship crossover yacht from the Italian shipyard Bluegame, part of the Sanlorenzo Group. It represents the most advanced expression of the BGX range, combining greater volume, functional design, and luxurious spaces tailored to the modern owner’s lifestyle. A standout feature is the expanded open‑air beach lounge that seamlessly connects to the aft salon at water level, creating a superyacht‑like living experience onboard. The full‑beam master cabin and generous VIP cabins further enhance comfort, while the unique layout maximizes natural flow between inside and outside. Powered by three Volvo Penta IPS engines, the BGX83 delivers strong performance with cruise and top speeds of approximately 28–30 knots, blending spatial sophistication with robust capability.

Manhattan 56 from Sunseeker

Although few details are known, the new Manhattan 56 represents the next step in a series that shaped Sunseeker’s identity in the 1980s. The next-generation model builds on the heritage of the Manhattan 55, renowned for its style, spaciousness and owner-focused layout. Sunseeker produced 103 units of the 55, and the new 56 is positioned as a modern interpretation of this success.

Greenline 42

The Slovenian shipyard Greenline is committed to a consistent design language but different types of propulsion. Its models, ranging from the smallest 39 to the 58 Fly, vary the classic motorboat line with a high foredeck, stepped sideline and deep, covered stern. As recognizable as they are in design, they are just as flexible in terms of motorization. Most of their models are available with hybrid, diesel or electric motors. The new Greenline 42 is the third smallest in the nine-model range – and the most decisive. With this 14-metre yacht, Greenline has consistently honed the qualities of its sister ships. Ten solar panels on the roof provide 4.3 kW of power, enough to supply all the electricity-consuming devices on board. No engine needs to run at anchor. The cockpit furniture can be completely removed and the stern side wall folded down, transforming the dining area into a bathing platform. The lounge on the foredeck has been taken from its big sister, the Greenline 58. This sense of grandeur can be felt throughout the ship.

Saxdor 460 GTC

Saxdor is entering the premium league with its largest model. The 460 GTC takes up the aggressive, characteristic design of the 400 series. A bold, sleek front with a high rail and extended roof edge above a sloping windscreen opens up to a very airy stern area. The floor-to-ceiling glazing of the saloon behind the helm, the skylights and the fold-downside rails create a spacious summer house atmosphere. The glass wall in front of the outboard platform reinforces this impression. The seating area in the bow is protected by high side walls. Generously sized skylights allow daylight to flood into the lower deck. 1,200 hp from a trio of outboard motors give this premium yacht powerful thrust. Saxdor Yachts is entering the premium market for the first time with its new flagship.

Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin

When it comes to adventure boating, no one can beat the Finns at Axopar. Their Axopar 37 has become a perennial favorite. However, its successor is not only to be modernized in terms of details but is also to herald a new line at Axopar. The Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin focuses on two key areas: performance and modular construction. The two-stage ‘Sharp Entry’ hull ensures that the 12-metre boat stays on course even in the most adverse conditions. Under optimal conditions, it can reach a top speed of 45 knots with two 350 hp outboard motors. To ensure comfort, customers can put together their own modular model. Will the Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin be used as a day boat, a weekender including overnight stays, or an adventure yacht? The options package ranges from electric rear windows to a separate shower and a saloon bar to enhanced sound insulation. Whatever you choose, all versions feature a wider passage to the bow, a more spacious wheelhouse and cabins with more headroom than the predecessor Axopar 37. The Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin will be followed by the Sun Top, Cross Top and CCX models. By then at the latest, the modular options should have multiplied to such an extent that everyone will be able to put together their dream model.

Azimut Fly 82

Azimut is a master of yacht design for vessels over 40 meters. The Italian shipyard uses the almost 25 meters of its Fly 82 to showcase its expertise with ease. The Fly 82 is a luxury apartment with a dynamic urge to move. Despite its size, the silhouette is strikingly angular with a flybridge that, with its T-top, looks like a lookout. But once on board, it’s the lounge qualities that count. The yacht has everything you would expect from a summer residence on or by the sea. The saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows allows for sophisticated day and evening living. The covered cockpit with wet bar and dining area is the perfect place to relax. The tailgate between the bathing platform and cockpit can be raised to cockpit level using the patented Deck2Deck system, creating a spacious balcony terrace. The largest motorization, with three Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines, each with 1,000 hp, propels the 63-tonne yacht to 32 knots. The Azimut Fly 82 is an event, as well designed as it is exclusive. 

Pardo 43

300 buyers can’t be wrong. That’s how many units Pardo has sold of the original version of the Pardo 43 since 2017. The classic is now getting a careful update. The claim remains the same: a luxury walkaround boat. But there are many new features and improvements to the 14-metre vessel. For the first time, the Pardo 43 features hull windows, a forward-facing seating area in the bow and air conditioning below deck. An automatic bathing ladder and solar panels round off the package. Improvements have been made to the galley, the carbon T-top and the sun loungers. Below deck, there is a more designer feel with indirect lighting and paneled ceilings. The Garmin instruments at the helm have been tailor-made for Prado. The hull design differs depending on the choice of engine. The smallest inboard motorization is two Volvo Penta IPS 500s, each with 370 hp, while the most powerful outboard variant is three Mercury V12s with a total of 1,800 hp. In profile, the Prado 43 is reminiscent of a classic Italian sports car. This association is more than justified.

Sterk 26

Milan Sterk’s ambition is focused on super sports boats under ten meters. With the Sterk 31 bowrider, he fulfilled this ambition with a seating area in the bow and a stern cabin. The new Sterk 26 reverses this layout. The cabin is in the bow, and the seating area converts into a sunbathing area. This makes the Sterk 26 look more like a classic runabout – but with very modern performance. With 500 hp from a pair of outboard motors, the Sterk 26 can reach speeds of up to 45 knots. The two-stage V-hull, with the chine typical of Sterk boats, guarantees optimum control even in extreme turns. The bow cabin is equipped with a separate toilet, and the seating area in the stern has a wet bar. The seating area can be converted into a sunbathing area in no time at all, allowing the bow and stern to be used to their full potential for sunbathing. The steering console and cockpit can be covered with a T-top or bimini. With the canopy closed, the cockpit becomes a bad weather saloon. Despite all its mature qualities, Sterk 26 is trailer able. This makes it as flexible on land as it is maneuverable on the water. 

Ranieri Cayman 50.0 Hard Top

The family-owned company Ranieri has been building boats at its site in Soverato, Calabria, since the 1960s. In 2014, they launched their RIB line. This Cayman line now comprises 15 RIBs, ranging from a 3.65-metre tender to a 14.90-metre luxury RIB. This Cayman 50.0 Hard Top appears light, airy and uncomplicated, but is equipped with a multitude of elaborate details. Sixteen people can spread out across the two seating and reclining areas in the bow and stern. An extendable bathing ladder, shower and hydraulically retractable table transform the cockpit into a bathing platform. Imitation teak flooring and imitation leather railings are a treat for the feet and hands. Below deck, the bow cabin with side and top windows and the stern cabin are complemented by a bathroom with shower and a kitchen with refrigerator and hot water boiler. The double bed in the bow cabin can be converted into a saloon with a table. The 10-tonne RIB is powered by a quartet of outboard motors with 2,000 hp. This makes the helm one of the most popular places on board.

SACS Tecnorib Pirelli 47

What happens when a leading tire manufacturer and a RIB specialist collaborate? A luxury RIB that is as far removed from the concept of an inflatable boat as you can imagine. The Maxi-RIB Pirelli 47 marks the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Pirelli and SACS Tecnorib. The second-largest Pirelli RIB stretches sleekly over 14.75 meters. The streamlined tubes are located above the waterline. This means they do not have to displace water, but stabilize the boat when cornering and in rough seas. Three outboard motors with a total output of 1,275 hp are mounted on the bathing platform. The three-seater helm and the variable seating area in the cockpit are covered by a hardtop with a steeply raked windscreen. In the closed version, window elements close the sides flush between the windscreen and the T-beam. Four different layouts are pre-planned for the cockpit, from sun loungers to dining tables. A bathroom with standing room is enclosed in the cabin of the Pirelli 47. Pirelli and SACS Tecnorib could not have given themselves a more beautiful gift for their 20th anniversary than this RIB.

Highfield Boats ADV9

The ADV9 is a bold reimagining of the high-performance cabin crossover, delivering 50-knot speed and 300NM range. This vessel offers up to four berths with a heated cabin, galley, head, and optional camper hood. Purpose-built for family adventure, charter and commercial use, this striking vessel redefines offshore versatility.

Nordkapp Enduro 830

The Norwegian shipyard Nordkapp has already produced two models in the 8.30-meter class, the Coupé and the Noblesse. With the Enduro, it combines the advantages of both variants: an open center console boat with a T-top and a slip cabin. According to shipyard designer Espen Thorup, the Enduro is characterized by its ‘edge and guts’. But relaxation and enjoyment are not neglected either. The seating and reclining areas in the bow and stern make full use of the space. In the cockpit, you can choose between a galley or a two-seater seating area. The cabin receives plenty of light through the large windows in the hull. From the raised helm, the boat can reach speeds of over 50 knots with its 500 hp engine. The graceful tubular frame on which the T-top sits and the curved edge of the boat with the counter-running window element give the Nordkapp Enduro 830 a visually inviting lightness and dynamism. The shipyard promises an Enduro with an SUV feel – a balancing act that it has impressively succeeded in achieving.

Zodiac X9CC

Zodiac is an authority in the RIB segment, from tenders to the large XXC line. The successful 10-metre X10CC version is now followed by the more compact X9CC alternative. Up to 15 people can enjoy the advantages of a RIB with a solid hull and rubber tubes on a length of 8.60 meters: fast, maneuverable, safe and stable. The covered center console is protected at the front by a windscreen with windscreen wipers. The helm with two seats is located on the right, while on the left there is a double cabin with upper windows and a separate bathroom. The sunbathing areas in the bow and stern can be converted from a seating area with table to a sunbathing area. A hand shower is installed in the stern and an electric anchor winch in the bow. The entry step and handrail make moving around on deck safe and easy. The two 250 hp outboard motors are supplied with sufficient fuel for long day trips from a 620-litre tank. Various paint finishes are available, from white to military grey. Whichever style you choose, with the X9CC you always get the proverbial Zodiac quality.

De Antonio D60

De Antonio has always impressed as a self-confident visionary. Now they are going where luxury is written in capital letters. The Spanish shipyard remains true to its wildly dynamic design language. The D60 also appears as a sleek wedge with black horizontal stripes but stretches out in opulent elegance. As with all De Antonio models, the outboard motors are hidden under the sun lounger. This combines the advantages of inboard and outboard motors: lower noise levels, easier accessibility, variable motorization and unobstructed access to the bathing platform. With 2,400 hp from four engines, the 21-tonne vessel can reach speeds of 45 knots and has a range of 300 nautical miles at moderate speed. At the stern, the D60 proves itself to be a transformer marvel. A dinghy garage can be opened hydraulically and the bathing platform lowered to the waterline. The generously glazed saloon is just as versatile. Opening the windows, sliding doors and roof hatch allows the beautiful weather to take precedence. This is fitting for a yacht that exudes gentlemanly avant-garde with every laminate fiber. 

Nimbus 12 series

For half a century, Nimbus has stood for the discreet charm of functionality under the toughest conditions. The Swedish shipyard builds boats that perform at their best all year round in the Scandinavian north. Even below its coupé cruiser lines, Nimbus has always impressed with its tenders, commuters and weekenders. With the 12 series, they are modernizing the 11 series both aesthetically and functionally. The basic concept remains unchanged: walkaround boats with a two-stage high-performance hull that can easily reach speeds of up to 45 knots. The innovations are in the details. All three models – Tender, Commuter, Weekender – feature newly shaped helm seats, an extended stern platform and an upgraded design. The Mercury outboards are equipped with Mercury joystick control, while the Volvo Penta inboards feature a joystick docking system. The Tender has solar panels integrated into the extended T-top. The redesign of the seating area and galley makes the Commuter even more comfortable in all seasons. Swedish design is proverbial – thanks in part to Nimbus. 

Cranchi Yachts A32 Luxury Tender

You can argue about terminology, but what Cranchi calls a ‘tender’ has nothing in common with a dinghy. The ‘Luxury Tenders’ from the Italian luxury manufacturer are fully-fledged motor yachts. Their A32 is the smaller version of the large A46. Both are available in open or hard top versions. The 10-metre-long A32 has a cabin with a separate bathroom, induction cooker, refrigerators in the cockpit and below deck, and marble and oak paneling. The large bathing platform with shower is made even more spacious by fold-downside walls. The sofa and sunbathing area combine at the stern to form a pure upholstered lawn. The 700 hp Volvo Penta engines elegantly and powerfully propel the hull with optional Seakeeper gyro stabilizers. The Cranchi A32 is made for fair-weather regions. With this in mind, the shipyard has designed the deck layout for optimum comfort and flexibility in the open air. Luxury is a far better description than tender.

Schaefer Yachts V34/V44/300

The Brazilian shipyard Schaefer can point to a model range that is as broad in terms of types as it is in terms of design diversity. From the imposing flybridge model to the walkaround speedboat with T-top, they range from cool and sleek to luxurious and playful designs. The V34 walkaround model, which is a good 10 meters long with a vertical stem and sloping windscreen, clearly opts for the first design variant. With its straight lines, it looks just as maneuverable as it is to drive. The larger V44 is as variable in its deck layout as it is in its propulsion options. You can choose between sterndrive, IPS and triple outboard engines. With fold-downside walls in the cockpit area and a hydraulic bathing platform, the beach club is always at your fingertips. The high-sided racing wedge Schaefer 380 is as seaworthy as it is comfortable. Behind the wide front of the helm station, life on board unfolds in the stern between the covered saloon and the cockpit with fold-downside walls. Below deck there are two double cabins, a full galley and a bathroom with separate shower. Schaefer V34/V44/300, three very different models, but unmistakably three times Schaefer quality.
