A house on the water? More like an estate on the water. Big boats spread their luxury-cruising comforts across multiple levels and even up on the flybridge, life feels downright grand.

Sailing on multiple hulls continues to gain popularity. Multihulls offer plenty of space while still delivering impressive speed. The Dragonfly trimaran spans eight meters in beam and reaches a top speed of 23 knots. And who really needs heel when sailing?

The marriage was long overdue: daycruiser meets RIB. A V-shaped hull with inflatable tubes delivers stability, safety, and ride comfort, reduces heel in turns, and keeps spray at bay.

Sail bigger~ That’s what the show organisers promised, and once again they’ve managed to bring some truly large yachts to the Rhine. Low effort, plenty of space, and even more comfort: these XL-format sailing yachts deliver exactly that. #Beneteau #CNB #Dufour

The mobility transition on the water can be highly enjoyable. From dinghies like the Amare AMY 330e to cruisers like the Lasai 32KS, electric propulsion offers nothing but advantages - and the early limitations, like restricted range, have largely been overcome.

Looking for a sports car on the water? These daycruisers offer everything convertible drivers love: power, agility, elegance. Nordkapp calls its models Coupé and Noblesse, two concepts that fit naturally together in this boat segment.

Not everything used to be better, but much of it was more beautiful. Following this principle, neo-classics embrace modern technology while remaining aesthetically uncompromising. Trends come and go; the appeal of these designs endures. #Elling #GrandBanks #NorthStar

Molabo just unveiled a new 48-V hybrid drive built with Fischer Panda’s generator tech. Think “range extender” like found in some hybrid autos, but for boats: the electric motor drives the vessel, and a compact diesel genset tops up the batteries.
