Hall 6 hosts the largest yachts at Boot

Sunseeker – represented across Asia-Pacific by DCH Marine – will stage the world premiere of the new-generation Manhattan 68 among the British builder’s seven models in Hall 6 at Boot Dusseldorf which will be held at Messe Dusseldorf from January 18-26, 2025.

Held in 16 exhibition halls covering 220,000sqm, the nine-day indoor show is again expected to attract over 200,000 visitors and feature 1,500 exhibitors and over 1,000 boats, including many premieres such as the 2025 version of the Sunseeker Manhattan 68.

The upgraded Manhattan 68 sports a sleeker, more dynamic profile and new upholstery for all the outdoor areas. A new flybridge layout features a larger, more versatile seating arrangement, while the redesigned aft cockpit offers more functionality and seclusion, with a built-in privacy screen.

The interior by Design Unlimited includes multiple layout options. The four-cabin unit on display at Boot features a private staircase to the full-beam owner’s suite midships and a separate stairway to the guest cabins.

Alternatively, the interior can include a single staircase to all cabins, creating space for facing seating in the saloon and a lower deck with three guest cabins including an owner’s suite with a grander entrance and office, or including a fourth, Pullman-style cabin.

Sunseeker Ocean 156

The largest boat in Sunseeker’s line-up will be the Ocean 156, an 82ft 6in flybridge motoryacht with a 21ft 6in beam and a volume of 156GT. The Ocean 156 had its global debut at the 2024 Southampton International Boat Show before its American premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The Poole builder’s display features other new models including the Predator 55, which had its world premiere at Cannes last September. The line-up also includes a Superhawk 55 – a Boot 2023 debutant – as well as a Manhattan 55, Predator 75 and a 76 Yacht.

Princess, celebrating its 60^th anniversary in 2025, will host a six-model line-up on the other side of Hall 6, dedicated to the show’s largest yachts. The Plymouth builder will host the world premiere of the F58 flybridge motoryacht and the Dusseldorf debuts of the S80 and S65 sportbridge models.

The Princess stand will also include the Y85 and Y72 flybridge motoryachts, as well as the first outing of the 60^th-anniversary edition of the V40, among a series of events celebrating six decades since the Plymouth builder was founded in 1965.

Azimut Seadeck 6

In the centre of the hall, Azimut will display the Grande 26M (86ft), 53 Fly and the Germany premieres of the Fly 62, Seadeck 6 and Seadeck 7, after the latter three models had world premieres last year. Alberto Mancini designed the exterior of all five models including the Fly 62, which debuted at Cannes last September – along with the Seadeck 7 – and features interiors by Fabio Fantolino.

The new Seadeck series of coupe motoryachts features a ‘Fun Island’ beach club with drop-down sides, interiors by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, plus reduced emissions, with the Seadeck 7 the first yacht to feature a hybrid-electric version of the Volvo Penta IPS drive.

Ferretti Group models at Boot include Pershing’s new GTX80, Ferretti Yachts 500 and Wally’s wallytender48. Fellow Italian builder Sanlorenzo will showcase its new SP92 coupe – which debuted at Cannes in 2024 – alongside a BG74 and BGX63 by sister brand Bluegame.

Absolute 52 Fly at Boot 2024

Absolute will have a four-model showcase, with the inland Italian builder displaying the 47 Fly and 52 Fly, and the Navetta 53 and Navetta 64.

Galeon will have a six-model display led by the world premiere of the 435 GTI, the inboard version of the 435 GTO (Grand Touring Outboard) that had its world premiere at Boot 2024. The Polish builder will also show a ‘refreshed’ version of the 640 Fly – which debuted at Boot 2018 – and a 480 Fly from its flybridge range, as well as the 450 HTC, 410 HTC and 335 HTS coupe models.

Galeon will show six models at Boot

Prestige is staging the world premiere of an F-Line model along with the F5.7 that debuted at Cannes and the M48, the first model in the French builder’s multihull range. Spanish shipyard Astondoa and Dutch builder Steeler are expected to show multiple models in Hall 6.
