The Scandinavian Nimbus Group of shipyards will present 14 boats at boot Düsseldorf 2023, in the familiar location in Hall 4. Nine models come from the Group’s own brand, Nimbus Boats, including an international premiere.
Leopard Catamarans has already proven its exceptional position with their power catamarans Leopard 53 Powercat and Leopard 46 Powercat, which has just recently been recognised as the best cruising boat of the year with the Best of Boats Award. The newly developed Leopard 46 Powercat is now launching as a smaller but completely independent model by the South African shipyard.
Space requirements on board are rising and the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly keeps pace with this need. The biggest model in the series clearly outdoes her sisters but not only in terms of LOA. Like all boats in this line, the MF 1295 Fly is also geared towards families who want to spend several days on the water.
The biggest model in Jeanneau‘s Cap-Camarat series is optimised for both swimming and fishing tours. You easily control the two outboards of the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 10.5 CC with 600 hp or 850 hp over long distances. While the helmsman stands below the T-top of the centre console, the remaining crew can stretch out on the spacious sunbeds in the bow or aft cockpit.
This apartment floats – but you don’t feel it. The Indie houseboats glide over the water fully electrically without any noise, vibrations or exhaust gases. The helm stand is seamlessly integrated into their no-frills, elegant interiors. An Indie is for living, in the first place, and for reaching your favourite destination, in the second. The name of the boat builder: HausbootGeist.
The fast, beautifully designed Bénéteau Gran Turismo 45 motor cruiser offers anything but “tourist class” cruising. The French shipyard will exhibit the cross-over boat in Germany for the first time. Although in terms of size this powerboat comes with many social areas, the new GT 45 is also a weekender for “new entrants”.
Bavaria SR 36 will come to the Rhine as a trade fair premiere. Family and friends are clearly the shipyard’s focal target group. The corresponding buzzword is Social Areas – Bavaria’s recipe for success for a new take on serial yacht building over the past few decades.
Bavaria will be presenting the smallest motor yacht in its SR line as a world premiere in Düsseldorf. Boasting four full-sized berths, the 11.40 m long Bavaria SR 33 is a space-saving wonder. Her silhouette strongly resembles that of her bigger sisters – Bavaria SR36 and Bavaria SR 41 – which will also be exhibited on the Rhine. No wonder: her design came care of the same designer – Marco Casali.
The new Axopar 45 is the world’s biggest outboard cabin yacht with 45-foot LOA. This slender yacht with a sporty silhouette offers a good alternative to bigger and more expensive motor yachts. And the best part: with three Mercury V8 300 Verado outboard motors this boat is also one of the most efficient 45-foot yachts on the market, by the shipyard’s account.
X-Shore from Sweden has built not only sustainable but also smart powerboats since 2016. To ensure electric motors become mainstream they have set a low price for their new tender model X-Shore 1. Paying from EUR 99,000 owners will get a 6.50 m long, open-deck electric boat that covers up to 50 nautical miles at a reasonable travel speed per battery charge. Or reaches a top speed of 30 knots alternatively.
