SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Quarken - the new motorboat brand is linguistically derived from Kwarken, as the Finns call the Gulf of Bothnia. The 27-foot model is the first day boat that the Finns are now presenting. It comes in three versions: the open Quarken 27 Open, the Quarken 27 T-Top with GRP roof and the all-weather Quarken 27 Cabin with closed wheelhouse.

The complete trio is coming to Düsseldorf for the first time. All three 27-foot boats are adapted to the new V6 outboard from Yamaha with 300 hp. This enables the Quarken 27 to reach a speed of up to 45 knots. At cruising speed, which should be about a third lower, the boat consumes about 1.5 litres per nautical mile, according to the shipyard.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – A commitment to heritage. The Parker 720 replaces – and even outperforms – the successful Parker 690 Day Cruiser. Below deck the Parker 720 provides more headroom and bigger berths. And the cockpit has also grown and is further enhanced by a bimini – sun canopy – as a standard feature. Numerous details such as bigger storage compartments and a skirting board are further benefits.

The shape of the hull follows the shipyard’s latest research findings. Those planning for longer trips can opt for diesel heating, a closed head, and hull windows. By launching the Parker 720 the Polish shipyard has accomplished a substantial update.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – The North American shipyard Four Winns has made a name for itself with open thrill seekers – as racy as they are high-quality. With their Four Winns TH36 catamaran they now translate these qualities into a powerboat for cruising. Plenty of space that can be used flexibly – this catamaran meets the demand both on and below deck. In the aft cockpit you can chose from three different layouts thanks to tables on sliding rails.

The two cabins below deck resemble suites with their queen-size beds, heads with separate showers, wardrobes and indirect lighting.

The Four Winns TH36 can be equipped with two 600 hp or 700 hp outboards. The joystick controls are just as elegant as the catamaran itself.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Flipper, the sporty line by Bella Boats, will present the largest and currently most innovative model in Düsseldorf: the Flipper 900 DC. The boat measuring 9.05 m LOA x 3.05 m beam is extremely fun to drive.  

Like each boat built by this Finnish shipyard, the Flipper 900 DC features a speed-hull design allowing for higher speeds and a sporty performance even in rougher seas. This proprietary double frame construction using vacuum technology makes the hull extremely stiff, which in turn contributes to very pleasant cruising properties and reduces noise in the cockpit.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – The Bénéteau Flyer 8 Sundeck day cruiser, which the French shipyard is presenting as a German premiere in Düsseldorf, combines style with comfort. Character and elegance are two further qualities of the 8 m boat of the latest Bénéteau generation.

Equipped with one outboard, the Flyer 8 Sundeck features a longer deck profile giving the boat leaner lines and a truly streamlined silhouette. This sporty twist is emphasized by the slanted windows embedded in the hull design. A wide smart walkaround gangway provides excellent access to the generous foredeck.

On and below deck, however, things are comfortable and relaxed: with a comfy cabin and two sunbeds, which is quite a feat for an 8 m class boat with an outboard. Important for day-cruising families: in addition to the easily accessible fridge there is also a separate head available on board. 

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – For boat owners who like it spontaneous, Bénéteau offers the tailor-made model: the Bénéteau Antares 7. For a day trip the 7.50 m powerboat can be effortlessly transported to the water by trailer. And with its tulip-shaped hull the Antares 7 is extremely agile and safe.

Furnishings like kitchenette, sliding roof, panoramic window, sunbed, and sleeping bench flexibly adapt to all crew wishes. The gate to the aft platform can be closed while cruising so that everybody feels safe. Walnut panelling and subdued colours underline the self-confident statement of the timeless Antares 7.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Aquador Boats will also bring Aquador 250 HT’s bigger sister to boot Düsseldorf. The Aquador 300 HT is a sophisticated cruiser for all with a flair for comfort, a touch of luxury and plenty of space on board. But safety ranks first for this international launch. With a healthy respect for nature the Aquador engineers have designed the 300 HT in such a way that it can be used in almost any environment.

This includes three 12-inch glass bridge displays by Simrad that continuously show all the boat’s status data at the helm stand. From here skippers can navigate precisely to the next destination, stay abreast of all the boat’s important functions, and control the entertainment system.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – “Unique is a term often used, but rarely merited” – this is the claim Aquador Boats from Sweden used to present its own global launch: the Aquador 250 HT. The compact weekender sports a hard-top design and unique layout – with a wide swim platform, large cockpit under the long cabin roof, and plenty of space below deck, this family boat is as homely as it is generously spaced.

The large cockpit provides shelter from the elements but thanks to the rear area opening up to the aft deck the sea is always close. For complete protection and warmth the salon can be fully enclosed using a canopy. Below deck the 8-m class boat offers an extraordinarily spacious layout – with a wide central master berth, a roomy head, and many storage facilities for family cruises. 

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – AMT Boats from Finland are “bred” for winning awards. Now the Finnish shipyard will exhibit their newest and biggest model, the AMT 240 DC, in Germany for the first time. Easy to handle, with a rock-solid structure and very fast on demand, the AMT flagship is great both as a day cruiser and for longer journeys.

The U-shaped couch on the aft deck can be converted into a very large sunbed or an additional bed. Located underneath are numerous storage compartments fitted with Abloy locks like all other compartments on board the AMT 240 DC. In rainy weather the entire boat is covered with a canopy that is comfortable to stand under. Speaking of space: the bow cabin has room for two adults. 

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – January 19, 2023 – Also new, the AMT 210 DC is the Finnish response to the demand for day cruisers, which has been on the rise for many years now. Hard to guess from the outside: thanks to the AMT 210 DC’s roomy cabin, even longer trips are pleasant and comfortable to make. Important to know for starters: like all boats the AMT 210 DC also comes with comprehensive standard furnishings.

A special safety feature at AMT Boats is their “always-to-shore” structure. This means that the boat floats even if it starts to fill up with water – which is extremely unlikely to happen. This feature, which is also integrated into the AMT 210 DC, makes the boats of the Finnish brand especially safe.
