Boot Düsseldorf is one of the major and most significant shows featuring yachts, boats, diving, fishing and water sports gear – in fact, everything related to spending time on the water
In contrast to most other boat shows, boot Düsseldorf takes place on land. Therefore, you won’t see any superyachts here, as they just can’t fit into a pavilion. But all the rest is in abundance. It is simply impossible to take a look at all the new products offered by yacht and water sports industry here, so let us focus on boats and yachts, both motor and sailing.
The peak of world premieres normally occurs in September, at the beginning of the “yachting New year”, when the largest boat shows on the water take place in Cannes, Genoa and Monaco. So there are usually fewer global premieres at boot Düsseldorf, but still there are some. Besides, all the newcomers unveiled in autumn, come to Düsseldorf, too. One can have a look at them comfortably in a pavilion, with no rush and no queue, as it is often the case at water shows, when the boats are always away on test drive. However, there might be queues at boot Düsseldorf, too, as it all depends on the popularity of the new product.
World premieres at boot Düsseldorf 2025
Sunseeker Manhattan 68 (21.21 m)
The Manhattan 68 has come to replace the Manhattan 66 in the British yard’s family of flybridge yachts. Despite the fact that the new model is based on the same hull, it is not just a restyle – primarily in terms of space arrangement. The Manhattan 68 has inherited a four-cabin layout from her predecessor, but the master cabin has been revised dramatically. Now, there is also a three-cabin layout with a huge saloon on the main deck and a galley below deck. The Manhattan 68 is capable of reaching a top speed of 30 knots, and is available with a shaft drive, as well as Volvo IPS.
Sunseeker 55 Sport Yacht (17.14 m)
The sportbridge model was built upon the Sunseeker Superhawk 55 hull. With twin Volvo IPS she can reach a top speed of 36 knots. She is available with three or four cabins below deck, while the owner’s cabin is truly luxurious for the size.
Princess F58 (18.20 m)
This model’s focus is on the abundance of exterior deck space. The flybridge was designed to make its central part as spacious as possible. Another exterior lounging area on the foredeck is home to a sofa and two sunpads with adjustable headrests. Finally, the aft cockpit is not just an al fresco dining area, but a kind of mini beach club.
Beneteau First 30 (10.33 m)
January 2025 has all the chances of becoming a watershed in the long history of Beneteau First sailing yachts. The French shipyard is going to unveil the First 30, which is the pioneer of the new segment of sailing yachts, capable of planing, when the yacht’s hull rises and glides above the water at full speed. So far, only light and compact racing sailboats that offer no comfort on board have been able to do so.
The First 30 is meant both for regattas and cruises: the boat comes in different versions, but was initially designed for maximum easy handling anyway. With a length of just a little over 10 metres, there are two double cabins on board, a head, quite a spacious saloon and a well-appointed galley.
Grand Soleil Blue (11.3 m)
Another compact sailboat with two cabins for four is a unique model of its kind, too. The Grand Soleil Blue promises zero emissions, with every component being carefully selected to ensure reusability. At the end of her life cycle, the boat is entirely recyclable, including the sails made from thermoplastic materials. The yacht can go under motor in complete silence, as she is equipped with an electric motor and a battery pack, which is enough for 6-12 hours (depending on the capacity). The Grand Soleil Blue can also get energy from solar panels and hydrogeneration process.
De Antonio D32 Open (9.90 m)
The new interesting model by De Antonio shipyard, the D32 Open, is rather a compact centre console walkaround boat with a V-shaped hull. Despite all the features of a powerboat, it is quite a comfortable cruiser with two cabins, a full-sized bathroom and an exterior open bar/galley. What makes her different from ordinary cruisers is the ability to reach a speed of 50 knots with two inboard engines of 600 hp each.
French Prestige Yachts shipyard is preparing a world premiere, too, but is keeping everything under wraps till the show. The only thing that is known now is that she belongs to F-Line.
Boot Düsseldorf is a great opportunity to get to know the fresh boats if you didn’t have a chance to do it in autumn. The show’s lineup includes Sanlorenzo SP92, Princess S80 и S65, Absolute Navetta 64 and 53, Azimut Fly 53, Greenline 45 Coupé, Fjord 39XL…
The list of premieres and new products at boot Düsseldorf 2025 will be updated as new information becomes available.
