Global firsts as well as market launches can be seen in the categories daycruiser, RIBs, boats with alternative propulsion as well as super boats and luxury yachts.

DAYCRUISER

Bayliner C21

Bayliner Boats still keeping quiet about the technical and visual details of the global first of the Bayliner C21 before boot Düsseldorf. It is confirmed that the model to be exhibited in public for the first time in January 2025 will be the successor to the Bayliner VR5 Cuddy.

With this move the European-American boatbuilder continues modernising its range. The abbreviation "Cuddy" stands for the cabin version of a small, compact sports boat. This suggests the Bayliner C21 will also come with a cuddy cabin for sleeping onboard on weekend trips.

In the last season Bayliner replaced a "close relative" of this year's launch - the VR5 Bowride by the Bayliner V20 - a novel boat with an elegant silhouette that reached the finals of the international powerboat awards. Therefore, similar looks and comparable performance data to the 2024-launch Bayliner V20 are expected.

Chris Craft Sportster 25

The Chris Craft Sportster 25 not only exudes classic Miami-Vice flair at first sight - this dayboat also sports all the details needed for a stylish pleasure cruise. In typical Chris-Craft style the cockpit sparkles with teak accents and a leather-wrapped stainless-steel steering wheel. A hi-fi system with six JL loudspeakers and a subwoofer - all luxuriously finished with custom Chris Craft stainless-steel speaker grills - enhance the onboard experience.

This floating luxury discotheque offers even more convenience: the pull-down swim step allows you to connect to the water like in a swimming pool. The dual helm seats are reversible to enlarge the lounge area at anchor. The 7.60 m boat is powered by a 400hp stern drive. The touchscreen display by Garmin comes with exclusive Chris-Craft software making for particularly intuitive and easy handling. The Sportster 25 is a bowrider for fans - designed all the way through to the stainless-steel signal horn.

De Antonio D29

The Spanish shipyard De Antonio amazes with a concept that is as simple as it is efficient: the outboard motors disappear in a closed compartment under the aft sunpad. This makes for cruising as low-noise and safe as with inboards while still offering the easier access of outboards. In addition, the engines do not interfere with the aesthetics of the hull. Thanks to this elegant aft solution even the smallest model of this shipyard can be immediately identified as a De Antonio in future.

Measuring eight metres the walkaround boat De Antonio 29 has a custom designed underwater hull allowing it to get the maximum out of the 300 to 400hp of the engine. The airy deck layout is designed for both sunbathing and eating together. The aft sunpad is placed opposite the seating with table in the bow. Installed in the roofed cockpit area are two rows of seats and one table. Below deck there is room for a bow double cabin with washbasin and toilet. The light pastel shades send out an apt message: the D29 is as fresh as it is agile.

Hwila 25

In the design country Sweden people know how modern technology and classic lines go together. The Hwila 25 tender looks as if it hailed from a 1900s racing yacht but is technically up to scratch. The boat not only designed but also built in Sweden is available with an electric motor or IC engine. The e-version is propelled by a Mercury-Avator outboard fed by a Mercury Powercenter. Up to four batteries store 5.4 kWh each.

A 20 hp Mercury outboard is planned for the IC engine version. This allows the Hwila 25 to cruise at a top speed of 14.9 knots. Her outboard engine is concealed below the aft cover noticeably reducing its engine noise. Both drives are controlled by a 9-inch Simrad display at the cockpit. The Hwila 25 boasts hydraulic steering as well as wine glass holders as a standard. After all, this tender is truly made for "connoisseurs".

Hwila Hall 4/D02

Interboat Intender 850

Tenders are the traditional boats used on Dutch canals - open, straightforward dayboats for spontaneous outings. The Interboat Intender 850 extracts maximum convenience out of this concept. The helm stand takes up minimum space, allowing maximum expansion for the bow and aft lounging areas. Furnishings include a compressor fridge, pantry and toilet as well as aft bimini and bow sprayhood.

With side panel sprayhoods and a connector piece between the aft bimini and sprayhood the tender is geared up for bad weather. It is available with 42 hp to 250 hp engines and reaches a top speed of 27 knots. Interboat also offers a 7.2 kW electric motor. Like all Interboat models the Intender 850 is hand-built at the shipyard in Zwartsluis and comes with a 10-year warranty.

Starting with the Intender 850 Interboat parts with the planked hull concept for its bigger models; but the cosy rope as skirting board stays - getting you in the right mood for "tender cruising".

Jeanneau Cap Camarat 10.5 WA

Introducing the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 10.5 WA the French shipyard has opted for a new avenue in boat design: this sleek day cruiser clearly sets herself apart from the compact sports boats with a French flair launched over the long CC history. With her T-top the Cap Camarat 10.5 WA is rather reminiscent of US role models. This also goes with her extremely powerful outboard propulsion.

As an update on the successful open-air concept of this 10-m boat, we will now see the version with an integral windshield come to Düsseldorf. This boot debut has an unchanged model name except for the addition "new version" - but for anyone coming aboard this walkaround boat the change is stunning. Out on the sea both pilot and crew are sheltered from the elements behind this elegant, tall wraparound windscreen. Even standing pilots can enjoy full protection from the elements and enjoy a top overview.

Jeanneau refers to this update as "a strategic development" - one which also affects bigger sister Jeanneau Cap Camarat 12.5 WA. This version can be identified by a special design with black T-top supports and black handrails.

Sea Ray SDX 270 Surf

The US brand Sea Ray reinforces its commitment to Europe by celebrating the launch of its wakeboard boat Sea Ray SDX 270 Surf. Its first surf boat built in Europe is entirely oriented towards board sports. Sea Ray's NextWave system and curved transom generate repeatable, ridable waves for wake surfing. The wave curve can be controlled with Active Trim and three ballast tanks.

Developed specifically for Sea Ray by Mercury, the Smart-Tow interface is pre-set for surfing, wakeboarding and water skiing. This allows wave generation to be adjusted to the individual's skills level. The backrest of the aft sun loungers can, of course, be adjusted for a perfect view of those "riding the waves".

However, the 8.30 m day cruiser with a 350 hp Mercury engine also convinces users beyond board sports. A swim platform with manual submersible step and a bow thruster ensure convenience and safety. A toilet can be ordered optionally. The Sea Ray SDX 270 Surf offers ideal conditions for an active day on the water.

Virtue V10 Cabin

Spoiler alert - this is about speed: the Virtue V10 is an uncompromising speedboat. A real performance sports boats with the emphasis on performance. She features comfortable seats and a windscreen but makes no compromises - neither for a family boat or a weekender. By bringing the new Virtue V10 Cabin to Düsseldorf as a global first, the shipyard widens its focus because people also like to go fast in northern latitudes where the water often "comes from above" and cold weather makes the season shorter than in the Med. Compared to the first V10 model introduced at boot, the cabin version was given a new, ergonomically optimised design.

Anyone piloting a Virtue V10 loves Greek mathematician Euclid: the shortest line between two point is all that counts. In other words: you can reach over 50 knots in no time, accompanied by the sonorous duet of the two 300 hp engines in the stern. This makes the Virtue V10 (in both its open and brand-new cabin) versions members of an exclusive club. 600 hp act on this boat weighing as little 3.1 tons with its patented Petestep hull like a slingshot. On this exquisitely designed boat you live the good life as you flit by. Though the line between A and B can also run on a curve because thanks to her underwater hull the Virtue V10 glides like on rails.

ELECTRIC

Stickl E-njoy 800

From e-volution to e-motion and finally E-njoy: the Hungarian shipyard Stickl has been very successful building open e-boats for inland waterways. Their latest model Stickl E-njoy 800 combines rigorous engineering science for the underwater hull with playful lines for the freeboard. With a view to catering to wide and varied motorisation options, Stickl has designed two hulls for the 8 m half glider: one for speeds up to 6 knots with a small engine and one for a top speed of 27 knots with a 100 kW engine.

Both half-glider hulls are designed for reducing weight and water resistance. With the cockpit being towards starboard, a wide portside companionway opens up between stern and bow. On the wide and open aft two sun loungers stretch out while the bow seats six with a table. The seating can also be converted into a lounging area. Below deck there is room for one cabin complete with heads. Two fridges, one in the bow, one in the cockpit, guarantee ultimate convenience - as do bow and stern thrusters.

Stickl, Hall 4/E04

Williams Electric EvoJet 70e

A RIB can be a simple "workhorse" - or a worthy accessory for a superyacht. With their RIBs Williams place emphasis on not only being fast and safe but also elegant. Now their e-RIB Williams EvoJet 70e adds sustainability. Three years after launching their top-notch tender EvoJet 70 they are now presenting the e-version.

And they are powered by the best components. Batteries and motor come from Formula E racing, Williams Advanced Engineering and the Mercedes subsidiary YASA Motors. There is room for 13 people on the 7-metre boat - along with plenty of luggage. Williams has paid particular attention to abundant and easy-access storage.

The RIB boasts smart features: the fold-down aft centre seat makes boarding easy. The carbon fibre T-top folds down keeping the tender height ultra-low meaning the EvoJet even fits the lowest yacht garages. The rotating helm bolster allows you to drive seated or standing. With the EvoJet 70e Williams also asserts its premium position in electric boating.

FAMILY MOTOR YACHTS

Cobra Campione 41 Coupé

With this "convertible" you feel exquisitely sheltered on the water. Polish yacht craftsmanship and Italian design are combined in the 12.80 metre Cobra Campione 41 to produce miraculous space on the inside with an unmistakable silhouette on the outside. The design comes care of Studio Ferragni Progetti whose racy lines impress with all types of vessels - from RIBs to super yachts. Cobra launched its Campione models in 2024.

Unlike the also newly launched Fly version, the Coupé forgoes the flybridge helm. With her closed salon and the coachroof stretching far to the back, she offers optimal protection from the weather and is also recommended for regions without guaranteed sunshine. An optional glass roof makes optimum use of daylight.

Both owners and charter companies are perfectly catered to with two or three cabins, respectively. Each cabin comes with a separate bathroom. The messroom and galley directly connect to the aft through wide doors and without steps. This creates a spacious main lounge area making up to 10 people feel like they are relaxing in a luxury apartment with a terrace overlooking the sea.

Cobra, Hall 1/B30

Elling E4

The E-series built by Dutch shipyard Elling presents itself with classic solidity. The 15-m model Elling E4 also banks on traditional lines - but has it all. The CE-certified hull is not made of GRP but Kevlar and is, hence, as robust as a lifeboat. With engines of 180 hp to 600 hp the E4 is suitable for both inland waterways and the open sea. At 18 knots, it is quieter in the cockpit than in a modern car at 100 km/h.

With a sliding hatch in the roof the cockpit opens to the sun while daylight floods the lower saloon from the wheelhouse windows. Wooden cladding dominates the interiors in keeping with the classic silhouette. You can choose between mahogany, cheery or ash. The built-in widescreen television can be retracted at the touch of a button. An outdoor nautical shower on the aft deck and mosquito nets testify to just how much Elling's designers focus on the universal usability of their yachts. Anyone seeking a real motor cruiser need look no further than the E4.

Elling, Hall 1/B18

YOT 41

The French Catana Group looks back on over 40 years of experience in cruising catamarans. Their Power-Cat YOT 41 exploits this know-how to the fullest. The specially curved hulls make for higher speeds despite increased stability while the deck layout with high freeboards and a spacious aft deck merges safety with luxurious comfort. With the two side wings opened, the cockpit area spans an impressive 25 sqm. The two benches with centre tables in the lounge area can be converted into big sunpads.

The two owners' cabins come with exclusive bathrooms. Individual requests can be catered to thanks to the "Made to Measure" feature. This almost custom offering boasts 20 configuration options. Two 300 hp outboards bring this power cat up to 37 knots top speed. At a constant speed of 23 knots the multi-hull can cover up to 230 nautical miles in one go. As spacious as the room on board, as racy is the silhouette of the power cat.

YOT, Hall 5/C19

BIG BOATS

Cranchi Sessantadue 62 Fly

With her sleek superstructures, impressive T-top over the flybridge and vertical bow the Cranchi Sessantadue 62 makes a self-confident statement already at first glance. The exclusive impression is confirmed by her details. Featuring glass doors and teak cladding, the salon and aft deck fuse to provide an exquisite veranda zone. Below deck four cabins with ensuite bathrooms sleep seven. Located next to the aft cabin with separate companionway is the garage for dinghy and water toys.

There is room for up 16 people in the aft and bow lounging zones and on the flybridge. Two Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1350 boasting 1,000 hp each accelerate the 20-m yacht up to a top speed of 28.8 knots. Thanks to her lengthened waterline the 38-t boat looks like a powerful predator ready to pounce. By launching the smallest model of its Sessenta series, the luxury shipyard Cranchi has again made a splash. Incidentally, "Sessantadue" just means 62.

Cranchi, Hall 6/A05...A21

Nimbus 495 Fly

With the Nimbus 495 Fly the Swedish shipyard has stepped into the luxury segment. At first glance, the flat silhouette of the Nimbus 495 Fly so familiar for this yard, looks like a further development of the well-known Coupé cruiser series. Sporting 44-foot hull length, however, this flybridge yacht plays in a different league. For the German launch Nimbus Boats will present windows set into the hull for the first time - as is customary with nearly all shipyards today.

Proven elements of the Coupé cruiser were adopted here: the good accessibility of the side decks, the pantry as the "epicentre" of living on board and ultimate comfort for passengers thanks to "hygge" furnishings. Scandinavian design is a hallmark of the brand and also omnipresent in the Nimbus 495 Fly.

The boat is equipped with Volvo Penta D6 engines delivering 480 hp each as IPS 650. At the stern right beneath the swim platform soft tunnels were shaped into the hull. PS makes for faster acceleration versus the shaft drive, higher maximum speed and an especially good grip of prop, not forgetting a smaller turning circle. Although the Nimbus 495 Fly is a big boat, she is very easy to turn into tight bends, markedly more pleasant with the joystick than with steering wheel and throttle lever. We reach a maximum speed at 28.6 knots and 3,830 R/min. An explorer version with larger range and hybrid propulsion is under planning.

Nimbus, Hall 4/A56...A62

SUPERBOATS & RIBS

Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom

Two companies that are a perfect match sharing the highest demands made on quality and innovation are the Austrian boatbuilder Frauscher and the Swabian automotive manufacturer Porsche. This is why - according to some - it was only a matter of time for their engineers to join forces for their first joint project. The result of their cooperation was an electric boat in a class of its own - boasting incredible tractive power and limited to an exclusive edition of 25 boats. The basis is Frauscher's proven model Fantom while the drive hails from a Porsche Macan.

2025 sees this cooperation enter its second round: following the open daycruiser 850 Fantom Air is the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom - a classic "runabout", i.e. boat with a closed foredeck and cabin. The new sport boat also features the all-electric drive of the Porsche Macan Turbo.

Both 8.67 m long and 2.49 m wide e-vessels score points with impressive acceleration, sporty tractive power, superior performance, timeless design, and luxurious furnishings. All attributes that also apply to the Porsche Macan, which was launched with the aspiration of being the sportiest model in its segment. The first weekend of boot Düsseldorf 2025 will see the world premiere.

Frauscher, Hall 5/C21

Nordkapp Coupe 780

The Norwegian shipyard Nordkapp specialises in speedy commuter boats with or without closed wheelhouses. With the Nordkapp Coupe 780 they now round off their wheelhouse series with a smaller boat. The 7.80 m long boat is as minimalist as it is high-quality. The cockpit is equipped with panoramic windows and shock-absorbing seat suspension. Thanks to a sliding door towards the aft, folding door facing the bow and a folding roof the wheelhouse can be ventilated in summer. Curtains filter the sunlight. All seating benches can be folded up.

Protected by a high freeboard, the bow provides safe and ample storage space. The boat is propelled by a Mercury outboard engine with up to 300 hp. The Coupe 780 comes care of Nordkapp's in-house designer Espen Thorup who has been designing the multiple award-winning Nordkapp models for some 30 years now. Functionality comes first for him - leading to such inimitable boats as the Coupe 780.

Nordkapp, Hall 4/D04

Schaefer V44

The Brazilian shipyard Schaefer Yachts has been thinking big for decades. Their luxurious models measure up to 25 m in length. With 13.60 metres the Schaefer V44 ranks at the compact end of their range. But despite her uncompromising V shape she sleeps four. Thanks to 2.40 m long hydraulic balconies there is even room for up to 14 persons during the day. Cockpit and aft platform sit on a single level.

As open as the aft is towards the sea, as protected is the bow with its high freeboard complete with stainless steel rails. For propulsion you can opt for sterndrives or triple outboard engines. Situated behind the lavishly instrumented centre console with driver's seat plus double bench is the pantry protected by a T-top. A sliding roof invites guests to open-air cooking. The Schaefer V44 sets elegant, stylish accents, as expected from designer Marcio Schaefer.

Schaefer, Hall 1/B06

Sterk 31 Sport / Supersport

The fast weekender that came as a big surprise at the last but one boot in Düsseldorf has now "produced offspring": not one but two new versions of the Sterk 31, finalist at several international boat competitions, will be coming to the Rhine in January 2025. The global firsts Sterk 31 Supersport and Sterk 31 Sport take the unparalleled performance of this German-Spanish joint venture to the next level. After all - and by shipyard accounts - the maximum speed of the super speedboat manufactured in Germany stands at 112 km/h.

The refined design care of Mallorcan Carlos Vidal can also be enjoyed at lower Rpms - for swimming trips or weekend cruises for which a roomy cabin is available. The new "standard model" Sterk 31 Sport still reaches breath-taking 88 km/h which translates into over 50 knots. With adjusted furnishings and reduced electronic systems the sports version boasts a very good "price-to-fun ratio" and marks the entry to the super sports class. In practical trials the boat equipped with Yamaha engines was always easy and safe to handle.

Sterk, Hall 4/B21

Williams SportJet 460

Even something good can still be improved upon. According to this maxim the British boatbuilders optimised the Williams Sportjet 460. The 4.60 m RIB has been given a thorough facelift in terms of ergonomics and aesthetics. At a top speed of 48 knots flip-up footrests for the aft bench prove a reassuring feature. Thanks to iDF technology the jet propulsion system can be kept free from deposits via remote control. The expanded aft platform makes boarding easy.

The reduced dimensions of a tender for 25-m yachts requires designers to be inventive. A rotating backrest on the driver's seat offers sun worshippers more lounging space at anchor. The bow can be deflated at the touch of a button to minimise the storage dimensions of the RIB. And there is a power limiter to ensure that even those new to this speed tender feel at ease. The harmonious colour combination of beige and light grey is as fresh as it is exquisite. The Sportjet 460 cuts a fine figure with any yacht.
