The Targa line from the UK boat builders Fairline has been inspiring the premium sector for a decade and a half now. The new Fairline Targa 40 builds on the success of the Targa 38. It’s a great combination of speed, comfort and design at the highest level – thanks to British engineering and Italian aesthetics.
The uncompromising walkaround concept of this 15-metre yacht from the Spanish boat builders De Antonio was already impressive on the D50 Open model. The new De Antonio D50 Coupé now presents a perfect combination of the exterior and the interior. The bridge is protected all round, while the living space opens up flexibly – not just to the side, but also through the generously sized retractable awning on the roof.
The “small” Bénéteau Swift Trawler 48, still impressively long at 48 feet, will be sporting her registration plate twice in January 2023 – for her German premiere in Düsseldorf. A classic modern trawler, this French boat has a range of 1,300 nautical miles at a leisurely speed of 6.7 knots – or indeed 1,000 nautical miles at 8 knots. This would allow the owner to travel non-stop from New York to Miami.
German premiere for a big one: The Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 is coming to Düsseldorf and has a very clear target group: experienced water travellers (including former sailors) who don’t want to waste too much time looking around, but who just want to take it easy and discover new things. This 18.9-metre cruiser is seaworthy and just right for them.
Whenever Axopar Boats and Brabus Marine work together, there are plenty of superlatives, and their joint product premieres at boot Düsseldorf are almost legendary by now. The launch of the Brabus Shadow 900 Deep Blue Signature Edition on Majorca met with enormous enthusiasm and will soon be followed by a new version of the Axopar 37-based boat: the Brabus Shadow 900 Stealth Green Signature Edition.
The Absolute 52 Fly is Italian design at its best. With this 52-foot boat, the Italian boat builders have expanded their current flybridge fleet. The newcomer is said to have all the essential features of her sister vessel, the Absolute 72 Fly, which is 20 feet longer. This includes a flybridge with an integrated terrace, a large stern terrace on the main deck, a generously sized foredeck and three spacious double cabins below deck.
