The Sterk 31 is presented in two new versions. The world premieres of the Sterk 31 Supersport and Sterk 31 Sport take the outstanding performance of the German-Spanish joint project to an even higher level. According to the shipyard, the German-built Supersport version reaches an impressive top speed of 112 km/h.
However, the design by Mallorcan designer Carlos Vidal can also be enjoyed at low speeds - be it on a trip to the beach or a weekend cruise, with a spacious cabin available for overnight stays. The new "standard version", the Sterk 31 Sport, also achieves impressive figures with a top speed of 88 km/h. With customised equipment and reduced electronics, the Sport version offers excellent value for money and represents an ideal entry into the Supersport class.
The Chris Craft Sportster 25 combines classic design with stylish comfort. The cockpit shines with teak wood and a leather-covered stainless steel steering wheel. A hi-fi system with six JL loudspeakers and subwoofer creates the right atmosphere. The lowerable stern platform makes it easier to get into the sea, and the swivelling helm seats extend the lounge area. Powered by a 400 hp Sterndrive engine, the 7.60 metre long boat features a Garmin touchscreen display with exclusive Chris-Craft software for easy operation. The Sportster 25 is a sophisticated bowrider for enthusiasts.
The collaboration between the Austrian boat builder Frauscher and the Swabian car manufacturer Porsche has resulted in an exclusive electric boat: The result, a limited edition model with impressive performance, is based on the Frauscher Fantom Air and utilises the drive system of the Porsche Macan.
The next collaboration will follow in 2025 with the Frauscher x Porsche 850 Fantom, a classic runabout with an enclosed foredeck and cabin. Both 8.67 metre-long electric boats offer sporty performance, exceptional acceleration and luxurious equipment. The world premiere will take place on the first weekend of boot Düsseldorf 2025.
Anyone who drives a Brabus is looking for a powerful appearance - and the largest Brabus Shadow epitomises this in an impressive way. With its striking, wedge-shaped form and a length of 13.90 metres, it presents itself in graphite black. The colour-coordinated V10 outboards from Mercury with 1,200 hp catapult the Grand Tourer to a top speed of 55 knots. Thanks to the joystick system with Mercury's JPO technology, steering is child's play.
Compared to the Cross Cabin version, the Cross Top offers the best of both worlds: In good weather, you can sail open, in bad weather the flexible side panelling shields the boat and transforms it into a cabin boat. In addition to the double cabin in the bow, another can be integrated in the stern. Luxurious equipment features such as air-conditioned cabins, carbon elements, a hi-fi system with remote control as well as a Simrad display, bow thruster and stern camera make the Shadow 1200 Cross Top a flexible and impressively equipped luxury tourer.
The Italian shipyard Comitti presents a visual treat with its open day cruiser Venezia 28. The medium-sized Venezia 28 combines powerful lines with a discreet gentleman's elegance, typical of the entire Venezia range.
Classic lines require the finest materials: the deck and cockpit are covered in mahogany and teak, while maple mouldings refine the design. The fittings are also accentuated with wood. The spacious sunbathing area above the engine box invites you to relax. For the engine, there is a choice of petrol or diesel versions from Volvo or Mercury from 225 hp, which enable a top speed of 48 knots.
Each boat is manufactured individually according to customer requirements - Comitti does not produce series models, but customised individual pieces, which is reflected in every detail.
The Swedish tender Hwila 25 combines modern technology with classic lines reminiscent of sports boats from the past. The boat, which was both designed and built in Sweden, is available with an electric or combustion engine. The electric version is powered by a Mercury Avator outboard, which is fed by a Mercury Powercenter with up to four 5.4 kWh batteries.
The combustion version uses a 20 hp Mercury outboard motor and reaches a top speed of 14.9 knots. The outboard motor is concealed under the stern cover, which significantly reduces engine noise and benefits the appearance. Both versions have a 9-inch Simrad display. The equipment also includes hydraulic steering and even wine glass holders. The Hwila 25 is a real boat for connoisseurs.
The US brand Sea Ray is celebrating the premiere of its new wakeboard boat, the Sea Ray SDX 270 Surf, which has been manufactured in Europe for the first time. This model is specially designed for board sports and combines innovative technology with comfort and performance.
Thanks to the NextWave system from Sea Ray and a specially moulded tail, the SDX 270 Surf Boat produces consistent, optimally surfable waves. With Active Trim and three ballast tanks, the wave curve can be customised, creating an ideal setup for surfing, wakeboarding and water skiing.
The Smart-Tow interface specially developed by Mercury for Sea Ray offers settings for the three sports mentioned. This means that the wave formation can be tailored precisely to the abilities of the athletes, which is particularly practical for beginners and advanced surfers. In addition to its specialisation in board sports, the Sea Ray SDX 270 Surf offers numerous features for the comfort and safety of passengers. The 8.30 metre long day cruiser is powered by a 350 hp Mercury engine. A lowerable bathing platform makes it easier to get into the water and a bow thruster ensures better manoeuvrability. The boat can also be optionally equipped with a toilet.
The French shipyard Jeanneau is bringing the Cap Camarat 10.5 WA to Düsseldorf. The sleek day cruiser combines the elegance of French tradition with design influences from the USA, visible for example in the T-top roof and the powerful outboard motorisation. This model marks a clear break with the compact sports boats in the Cap Camarat series and offers a new, versatile concept. The latest version of the Cap Camarat 10.5 WA bears the suffix "new version". The key difference lies in the new windscreen, which offers far-reaching benefits for passengers. At sea, the elegantly shaped windscreen, which extends up to the sides, effectively protects the driver and crew from wind and spray. Particularly convenient: the pilot can now navigate standing up, with an unrestricted view and full protection from the elements.
The brand new Twiel Z7, which is celebrating its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2025, is setting new standards for the boat design of tomorrow. With its combination of avant-garde style, sustainable materials and environmentally friendly electric drive, it could perfectly capture the pulse of the times - especially at Lake Constance, where it is manufactured. The design of the Twiel Z7 is a prime example of the fusion of past and future. Inspired by the flowing forms of nature, the double hull of the catamaran resembles a wave. This organic design is emphasised by the use of plywood, which combines sustainability with modern lightweight construction. The twin hull remains almost invisible above the waterline and gives the boat an exceptionally elegant silhouette. The centrepiece of the Twiel Z7 is its environmentally friendly electric drive. An inboard motor from ePropulsion is installed in each of the two hulls, each delivering 20 kW of power. This drive solution not only ensures whisper-quiet operation, but also impressive performance - the shipyard explicitly describes the Twiel as a glider, which suggests dynamic sailing behaviour.
Cologne-based RIB specialist Pischel is once again setting new standards for quality and innovation with the new Ribline 3.3 Alu Zero Jet. The combination of a robust aluminium hull and a powerful 18 kW electric jet drive makes this 3.38 metre long RIB a pioneering solution for leisure captains and professional users alike. The 18 kW jet drive propels the compact boat to an impressive 22 knots and offers the efficiency and smooth running of a modern electric drive. This performance makes the Ribline 3.3 Alu Zero Jet ideal for a wide range of applications, from sporty use to a practical dinghy for larger yachts.
The boat's steering console is foldable so that it fits easily into the stern garage of a yacht. In addition, the integrated bathing platform allows easy access to the water - a practical feature for leisure and water sports activities.
Each Ribline 3.3 Alu Zero Jet is manufactured according to the customer's individual wishes. The Cologne-based family shipyard is known for its flexibility and the ability to fulfil special requests in terms of equipment or hull length. For all those who prefer an electric outboard motor, Pischel is planning to introduce a corresponding version with 18 kW power by mid-2025.
The Cobra Campione 41 combines Polish craftsmanship with Italian flair. With its closed coupé design, created by the renowned Studio Ferragni Progetti, it offers a blend of striking elegance and sophisticated functionality. The exterior silhouette of the Cobra Campione 41 impresses with clear, sporty lines that clearly show the influence of Ferragni Progetti. The Italian designers, known for their expertise from RIBs to superyachts, have created a boat that is both luxurious and dynamic. Compared to the flybridge version, which is also new, the coupé dispenses with the roof steering position, creating a particularly streamlined look.
The roof, which is pulled far back, and the enclosed saloon offer ideal protection from the weather. This makes the boat the perfect choice for regions with changeable weather. An optional glass roof maximises the incidence of light and ensures a pleasant, bright atmosphere in the interior.
With a choice of two or three cabins, it offers flexibility for a wide range of needs. Each cabin has its own bathroom, guaranteeing guests maximum privacy. The main living area impresses with its open, flowing transition between the mess area with kitchenette and the spacious aft zone. The wide doors emphasise the feeling of spaciousness and invite you to use the outdoor area like a lakeside terrace.
The Elling E4, part of the E series from the Dutch shipyard Elling, combines classic lines with modern technology and exceptional robustness. This 15-metre model is more than just a motor cruiser - it is an elegant blend of tradition, luxury and functionality that is perfect for both inland waters and the open sea.
An outstanding feature of the Elling E4 is its CE-certified Kevlar hull. This material, known from the manufacture of lifeboats, makes the yacht exceptionally robust and safe. With a motorisation of 180 to 600 hp, the boat can be adapted to individual requirements, from relaxed inland trips to demanding cruises on the open sea. Even at a cruising speed of 18 knots, the background noise remains remarkably quiet.
The sliding hatch in the roof allows the cockpit to be opened up to let in the sunlight and create a light and airy atmosphere. In addition, plenty of daylight enters the lower saloon through the large cockpit windows, making the interior look even more inviting.
In keeping with the traditional lines of the Riss, the interior is dominated by fine wood. Buyers can choose between mahogany, cherry or ash to customise the yacht to their taste. Modern amenities such as a widescreen TV that can be retracted at the touch of a button blend seamlessly into the classically elegant ambience. Additional comfort is provided by practical details such as an outdoor shower on the aft deck and mosquito nets, which make it easier to use the yacht in a wide range of climates.
The 435 Grand Touring from Galeon combines futuristic design with powerful performance. The 12.55 metre long yacht offers up to 1,200 hp and impresses with its curved lines, panoramic wheelhouse and sliding roof. Extendable sunbathing areas at the stern, a convertible seating area in the bow and a hydraulic bathing platform maximise comfort. The wet bar and fully equipped kitchenette on the lower deck provide culinary delights, while two cabins offer space for five people. There is room for up to 14 guests on day trips - a luxury experience like in a flying loft.
