boot Düsseldorf 2026 — the leading winter exhibition for motor yachts

Every January, Düsseldorf becomes the place where the yachting industry effectively starts a new season. boot Düsseldorf is the world’s largest indoor yacht and watersports exhibition, bringing together 16 exhibition halls, more than 1,500 exhibitors and over 200,000 visitors under one roof at Messe Düsseldorf.

For motor-yacht buyers, the Düsseldorf exhibition is particularly convenient because it is a truly hands-on, working show. It is less about visual spectacle and much more about substance: new hulls, updated model ranges, configurations, delivery timelines and direct, face-to-face communication with shipyards and dealers. And since the entire exhibition takes place indoors, January becomes the ideal moment to enter the season — arrive, explore, compare and make informed decisions.

That is why the GoYachting team will attend boot Düsseldorf 2026 (17–25 January). Our goal is to focus on what truly matters to our clients: new motor-yacht launches and current market opportunities from the brands that define the premium segment.

What to see first: motor-yacht premieres and the “heavyweights” of Hall 6

Azimut: a strong line-up and the debut of the Fly 82

Azimut have confirmed an impressive display of yachts, including Seadeck 6, Fly 53, Fly 62, Fly 82 and Grande 26M (with the note that the final line-up may be subject to minor changes).

The key highlight is the Azimut Fly 82. At boot Düsseldorf 2026, this model will make its first major appearance at an international indoor boat show, which traditionally draws significant attention from both clients and industry media. The Fly 82 is a rare example of a classic flybridge yacht presented in a thoroughly modern way: generous interior volume, expressive exterior lines, well-considered privacy on the lower deck and the feeling of a “big yacht” without unnecessary bulk.

The Seadeck 6 also deserves special attention. This model reflects Azimut’s new mindset — more emphasis on outdoor living, more flexible day-use and anchoring scenarios, and a stronger resort-style atmosphere on board. For many owners, this is exactly the philosophy that traditional layouts have been missing in recent years, which is why Azimut are giving it particular prominence in Düsseldorf.


Ferretti Group: Italian elegance, performance and design

Ferretti Group traditionally occupy a strong position in Hall 6, and their 2026 presence once again promises a rich and varied display.

Ferretti Yachts 720 (restyling) represents the evolution of one of the brand’s most successful models. The updated version focuses on refined interior volumes, cleaner spatial organisation and more contemporary lines. It is an evolutionary step rather than a radical redesign — making the yacht noticeably more comfortable in everyday use while preserving the unmistakable Ferretti character.

Pershing 6X is aimed at owners who value emotion as much as luxury. Powered by two MAN V12 engines producing 1,550 hp each and capable of speeds of up to 48 knots, the 6X delivers sharp performance and a distinctly aggressive profile. At the same time, it remains a true high-end yacht, combining speed with refined interiors and a premium feel underway.

Wallytender 48 stands for style, minimalism and a modern day-boat concept. With its clean deck layout, futuristic lines and open, social spaces, it appeals to owners looking for a contemporary, design-led approach to yachting.

Itama 54 offers a timeless open-yacht format with a strong Mediterranean identity. A spacious open deck, a direct connection to the sea and subtle aesthetic updates make it an attractive choice for those who value classic elegance paired with modern comfort.


Sunseeker: world premiere of the Manhattan 56 and the Ocean range

Sunseeker bring one of the most anticipated announcements of the show — the world premiere of the Manhattan 56, unveiled for the first time at boot Düsseldorf.

The Manhattan 56 marks the next step in the evolution of this iconic series. Expect more natural light, increased sense of space in the main saloon, improved galley ergonomics and a clear move toward owner-centric layouts. The yacht is designed not only to look impressive on the stand, but to function comfortably in real cruising scenarios with family and friends.

Alongside the premiere, Sunseeker will also present the 82 Ocean Enclosed and 90 Ocean. These yachts represent a different philosophy: maximum volume, expansive hulls, generous social areas and a strong “beach-club” feel. They are particularly important to see in person for those considering family cruising and entertaining on a larger scale.


Princess: a balanced British approach

Princess will showcase a solid selection of models at the exhibition, including X80, F65, F58, V55 and V50.

The X80 focuses on volume and the modern “super-flybridge” concept, where upper decks become fully functional living spaces.
The F65 and F58 represent highly versatile family flybridge yachts, known for their logical layouts, build quality and strong resale value.
The V55 and V50 sit in the sport segment, where Princess consistently balance performance, style and comfort without compromise.


Bluegame BGX83: an alternative vision of a motor yacht

One of the most distinctive yachts to watch at the exhibition is the Bluegame BGX83, a 25.6-metre flagship motor yacht that deliberately steps outside traditional categories. It is neither a classic flybridge nor a conventional open yacht, but a cohesive living space with unexpectedly generous interior volume for its size, a low profile and a strong, direct connection to the sea.

The hull architecture and layout of the BGX83 are designed around real life on board — active cruising, family trips and extended stays at anchor. There is no excessive showmanship here; instead, the focus is on usability, freedom of movement and a modern, understated approach to yachting. This honest, functional philosophy is exactly why Bluegame continues to attract increasing attention from experienced owners.


Why we are attending — and what we will bring back

We see boot Düsseldorf as an opportunity to gather the maximum amount of practical insight in just nine days: what is genuinely new, which models offer real value, which configurations and terms are currently the most attractive, and which yachts best suit specific owner requirements — from family cruising to high-performance projects.

The GoYachting team will be on site to review all key motor-yacht models in person and return with clear, relevant and up-to-date opportunities within the premium segment.
