Exclusive World Debuts at Boot Düsseldorf 2025: New Must-See Models

The Boot Düsseldorf 2025 Boat Show will take place from January 18th to 26th at the Messe Düsseldorf exhibition center in Germany. Known as one of the largest and most prestigious boating events in the world, it offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to explore the latest in yachting innovation, attend expert-led seminars, and connect with industry leaders. For those new to boating, it’s the perfect starting point to immerse yourself in the lifestyle, gain valuable insights, and discover a diverse range of vessels, from world-debut yachts to practical entry-level models.

Here’s a overview of the standout world premieres:

Length: 21.21 meters

It's more evolution than revolution with this mid-life refresh of the Manhattan 68 but Sunseeker didn't want to make drastic changes to one of its most popular models. Instead, it updated the exterior styling, rearranged the flybridge to create more living space and upgraded the exterior upholstery for a more premium feel. 

The bigger changes are on the inside, where Design Unlimited has created new decor themes and more configurable layout options. The yacht at the show will have a 4-cabin layout with a private staircase leading to the owner’s full-beam cabin, amidships. Alternatively, the boat can be configured with a single staircase to all cabins, creating space for an opposing seating group in the main saloon.

This layout offers flexibility for a three-cabin configuration with a grander entrance to the owner’s cabin, complete with an office, or it can include a Pullman-style fourth cabin. 

Length: 18.2 meters

The Princess F58 debuts at the show and will replace the hugely successful F55. Designed for sociable cruising, it offers a spacious flybridge, a foredeck terrace, and a panoramic saloon filled with natural light. Below deck, the full-beam owner’s stateroom includes a superyacht-style ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, alongside versatile guest accommodations. Its seamless flow between the galley, cockpit, and interior dining areas ensures an enjoyable and relaxed onboard experience.

This is a core product for the Plymouth yard and, much like the Sunseeker Manhattan 68, Princess and its design team are looking to update the boat without compromising what has made the Princess F55 so popular. The main changes on deck are a redesigned flybridge with the wet bar aft, instead of behind the helm seats, and a new transom design with a drop-down bench and dedicated slot of a Seabob.

Inside, compared to the F55, the dinette shifts from a position amidships to opposite the galley, aft, leaving more space for lounging aft of the helm. Below, the owner's cabin's ensuite now runs behind the island berth rather than being placed by the lobby when you walk in. Seemingly small changes, but overall it's likely to feel like quite a different boat.

Length: 14.92 meters

Riva's Dolceriva combines sleek, Italian styling with outstanding performance. This elegant open yacht offers a refined layout with two guest cabins, making it ideal for short cruising getaways. With a top speed of 35 knots and a durable fiberglass hull, it delivers exhilarating performance while maintaining the brand’s iconic design ethos.

Length: 13.7 meters

The Marex 440 Scandinavia is a modern cruiser that emphasizes social interaction and practicality. Featuring two large dining areas, side doors for quick deck access, and a fully equipped galley, it’s designed for both comfort and functionality. The spacious cockpit with U-shaped seating and the open-plan saloon create an inviting and versatile onboard environment, making it a standout for family and group cruising.

The main difference over the 440 Gourmet Cruiser, which was launched at the Cannes Yachting Festival in 2023, is the layout of the main deck. The large galley of the 440 GC is replaced with a large U-shaped seating area, which mirrors the table arrangement in the cockpit.

This creates a much larger space for guests to sit indoors with a smaller galley on the starboard side and a two-way bench in the navigator's position which drops down to complete the dinette seating. Essentially, where Gourmet Cruiser priorities the galley and cooking, the Scandinavia focuses on interior seating.  

Length: 13.65 meters

The eagerly awaited Galeon 435 GTI is set to debut as a versatile cruiser suitable for year-round use. While full details remain under wraps, the GTI boasts inboard engines on sterndrives, a significant difference from the outboard-powered Galeon 435 GTO with which the GTI shares a platform. As well as a shift in propulsion, the reworking of the aft deck to suit inboard engines creates space for a small tender garage. 

Elsewhere, the arrangement and design appear much the same as the 435 GTO, but we'll be able to get more details at the show. 

Length: 12.1 meters

This is a milestone for Aquador as the 400 Hard Top is the largest boat the brand has ever built. Looking to build on the success of the award-winning 300 HT, the 400 shares its smaller sibling's DNA on a slightly grander scale. 

Like the 300, it's available with inboard and outboard engine options up to a combined 700hp for a claimed top speed of 37 knots. 

On board, it boasts a versatile cockpit with multiple seating options, including a dinette that faces out over the transom to take in the views over the extended bathing platform. The large dinette amidships is opposite the galley with a sunroof overhead to draw in light and some natural ventilation. 

The lower deck has a surprise in store. Given the boat's beam is only 3.96m, Aquador has found space for three double cabins and a separate bathroom. It looks quite a lot to fit comfortably into the space available so will it lead to compromises? Look out for our upcoming review to find out.
