Yachts to discover at the Boot Düsseldorf

Here are the units over 10 m and the yachts to be discovered in world premiere or to be rediscovered since their recent launch at the Düsseldorf Boat Show, which will take place from 20 to 28 January 2018.

Absolute 58 Fly

This new 17.24-meter-long yacht is part of the flybridge range, with the same exterior lines as its sister yachts, but with greater luminosity thanks to the very large hull windows. Inside, the design is similar to that of the Absolute 60 Fly, even if the layout is reminiscent of the 56 Fly (which it replaces), but with more space. For example, the galley is much more open and outward facing. Below deck, the boat houses three cabins and three bathrooms with the possibility of a fourth crew cabin. The sliding doors allow to optimize the interior spaces and to open them on the outside, where the cockpit is well protected by the extension of the fly. The 58 Fly is powered by 2 Volvo Penta D8-IPS 800.

Axopar BRABUS Shadow 800

The Finnish shipyard Axopar and the car manufacturer BRABUS GmbH have collaborated on a new limited edition boat: the Axopar Brabus Shadow 800. This model will be produced in a limited edition of only 20 units and is a 37-foot (11 m) luxury day cruiser with all the characteristics of a car. Due to the popularity of this limited edition, the two players have already planned to develop various models up to 45 feet, under the brand name "BRABUS Luxury Boats".

The Brabus Shadow 800 was designed on the double step hull of the Axopar 37 and features a walk-around deck layout. On board, there is ample seating (7 in total) as well as a lounge area on the foredeck. Its black and red colors give it an elegant finish. It is powered by two Mercury Verado 400 hp engines, piloted by a joystick and equipped with a full range of electronics (autopilot, two GPS screens, underwater cameras...).

Bavaria R55

The R55 will be the largest motoryacht launched by the German shipyard and will be offered in flybridge and hardtop versions. With a deep V hull and 2X600 or 725 IPS, it should go through the sea easily. With a sporty design, the R55 does not forget the comfort on board. The flybridge houses a large lounge and bar, the swim platform provides easy access to the sea, while the foredeck gets a large sunbathing area. Outside, the cockpit gives access to the kitchen and then to the saloon. Below deck, the R55 has 3 cabins, each with its own bathroom. A 4 e crew cabin can take place below deck.

Boarncruiser 1500 Elegance CS

The Elegance 1500 Center Sleeper has a hull length of 14.99 m and thanks to its removable bathing platform, gains a length of 16.70 m. A special feature is that it can be driven without a license, just like the small barges found on our canals. Wide (4.75 m), it has a large living space to live comfortably inside and outside. We will note its very large owner's cabin of 17.5 m2 installed in the center of the boat, its two beautiful bathrooms, two guest cabins, a living room combining modern and retro equipped with a kitchen, a dining area, a sofa corner, just like at home or its spacious cockpit of 10m2 and its front deck with sunbathing. Regarding the engine, the Elegance 1500 receives 2 Volvo Penta D4-180 hp diesel engines installed separately for more safety.

Fairline Targa 63 GTO (19,88 m)

The Targa 63 GTO is a 19.96 m yacht designed by Italian designer Alberto Mancini and built by the Dutch shipyard Vripack. This elegant and sporty yacht offers numerous relaxation areas, starting with the very large deck saloon in the bow, cut off from two large sunbathing areas. The cockpit is not to be outdone either, with a sunbathing area on the outside, overhanging the bathing platform, from which you can access the tender garage. The cockpit has been designed for outdoor living, with a glassed-in area that is totally open to the interior.

On board, there are many innovations, such as the windows that disappear completely into the superstructure, or the panoramic glass roof with a sliding sunroof that connects the Open and the GT. The layout options are numerous: kitchen on the main deck or below deck, 3 or 4 cabins.

Grand Banks Eastbay 44 (14.65 m)

This model combines modern materials with classic Maine (US) lines and a V-shaped hull, contrasting with its chine hull at the rear, which ensures stability. Big Banks rhymes with safety, so the cockpit is low and well protected by large side decks. The cockpit is comfortable and closed by a transom that opens onto a bathing platform. The interior is made of wood, giving the boat a warm and comfortable look and bathed in light. Below deck, several layout options are available: two or three cabins, galley in the salon or below deck.

Linssen Grand Sturdy 45.0 AC

The Grand Sturdy 40.0 Sedan is a 12.85 m trawler with a single level layout between cockpit and wheelhouse. This typical inland waterway vessel has a simple, yet comfortable layout for family cruising. The owner's cabin is located at the front and a second cabin with two small beds completes the sleeping arrangements.

In the cockpit, the extension of the roof protects the space, so you can enjoy the outside and the large bench protected from bad weather.

Princess S78, V65 and V50

After the V58 and V40, Princess continues to develop its V range with two new sporty yacht models, the V50 and V65. The V-shaped hull with variable geometry provides plenty of power for a maximum speed of 38 knots. The V50 is available in several main deck configurations, open or closed, and will reach a top speed of 32 knots with two Volvo IPS 600.

The Princess 78 is the largest model in the S (sportbridge) range and combines luxury, comfort and performance. The emphasis is on its very large cockpit with central access and which continues almost seamlessly with the interior. The sportboat reaches speeds of 39 knots.

Princess 35 M

The English singer will once again present the largest boat at the show, the Princess 35 M. With its many outdoor spaces and two decks, the Princess 35 M has plenty of room for relaxing or dining. With its large cockpit, tender garage and swim platform, the rear of the boat can easily be transformed into a beach club.

Predator 50 and Predator 74

Sunseeker will introduce two new models in the Predator line - the larger model and the smaller model. Both boats have the same features, but the smaller model has a hardtop that opens up like the bay window and cockpit window to create an open living area. Or the sun deck, which can be expanded with the cockpit seats that fold down. The Predator 74 can be "open" in warmer regions or "closed". Below deck, there are three spacious cabins with bathrooms, as well as a galley to free up space on the main deck.

Sealine C430

The C430 is a 13.55 m long light cruiser designed as a sports car and conceived to be as functional as possible. With its very large panoramic windows, the view is unobstructed and the interiors are turned towards the outside. On board, all the spaces have been designed to provide maximum comfort and meet all needs, from the large bathing platform at the rear, to the cockpit with an outdoor kitchen and a grill on the platform, to the large comfort areas on the foredeck and in the cockpit that serve as both seating and sunbathing areas.

Inside, the layout is comfortable and well ventilated (sunroof) with living room, kitchen, but especially up to 3 large double cabins and two bathrooms. But it is especially on the level of the hull that Sealine worked a lot to develop a hull especially conceived for IPS bases, with a V-shaped hull and a very straight bow. With IPS 600 bases, the Sealine C430 reaches a maximum speed of 41 knots.

Serious Yachts Brightly 1530

The Brightly 1530 combines classic and modern lines between its wood touches on the foredeck or in the interior layout and its large contemporary windows or technical tricks. This 15.3-meter motor yacht is the largest model from the Dutch shipyard and has been designed to high standards: stainless steel air vents or dockside intakes, and all carefully handcrafted, such as the large glossy walnut doors found in the sleeping area.

The Brightly 1530 is powered by two 6-cylinder Vetus Deutz DT66 with 170 hp and reaches a maximum speed of 11 knots in complete silence. Hydraulic steering, bow and stern thrusters make the boat easy to handle. Not to mention the 24-inch touch screen in the cockpit that allows you to control all aspects of life on board. Moving around the boat from the bow to the large cockpit is easy thanks to the very wide gangways.

The layout is comfortable, bright and spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen (below on the port side of the main deck), a lounge on the main deck, another lounge on the lower deck, two cabins, an office, a bathroom..
