<p><strong>Boot Düsseldorf 2026</strong> welcomed more than 200,000 visitors over nine days (Jan. 17-25) and hosted about 1,500 exhibitors from 120 countries. The show was about the same size as that of the 2025 event, but last year’s show drew exhibitors from only about 67 countries.</p>



<p>Boot once again confirmed its position as the world’s leading indoor boat show. The event covered the entire spectrum of the marine industry, including motorboats, yachts and superyachts, catamarans, sailing boats, outboard and electric boats, engines, power generation systems, equipment and components, as well as touristic services, charter companies, and boating clubs.</p>



<span id="more-14898"></span>



<p><strong>Market Trends<br></strong>Clear market trends emerged during the show. There is a strong shift toward outboard-powered boats, driven by increased usable space, lower maintenance requirements, ease of operation, and more competitive pricing. These boats are mainly used for day trips or short one- to two-day cruises, while long-distance boating currently appears less attractive to many buyers.</p>



<p>The luxury yacht sector continues to perform well. Interest in medium-sized boats with inboard engines remains stable, but sales are more challenging, reflecting ongoing economic and political uncertainty. Many manufacturers described 2025 as a difficult year marked by caution and observation.<strong></strong></p>



<p>Boating demand overall remains strong, particularly in the charter sector. Charter companies are performing very well, and catamaran manufacturers focused on charter fleets reported growth in their order books. Traditional sailing yachts, however, are under increasing pressure to evolve and adapt to the expectations of a new generation of boaters. As a result, many brands are revising their designs and introducing electric propulsion, appealing to environmentally conscious and slow-cruising sailors.&nbsp; <strong>PSR</strong><strong></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The superyacht industry enters 2026 in a phase of measured growth, supported by strong fundamentals. After several years of rapid expansion, the market is stabilizing and becoming more strategic, rather than slowing down. The global superyacht market reached approximately USD 21.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 45.16 billion by 2032, reflecting sustained long-term confidence in the sector. Today, more than 5,000 superyachts over 24 meters are in operation worldwide.</p>



<p>In 2025, 470 superyachts were sold globally, marking a 19.8% increase compared to 2024. Around 250–300 newly built yachts were delivered, including 10 yachts over 100 meters, a record year. Approximately 45% of market demand comes from charter activity, highlighting the importance of commercial readiness and high-quality guest experiences.</p>



<span id="more-14893"></span>



<p>The Global Order Book for 2026 lists 1,093 projects, a 3.9% increase compared to 2025, with leading manufacturers such as Azimut-Benetti and Sanlorenzo topping unit numbers. Italian manufacturers retain 54% of total global production, followed by the Netherlands, Turkey, and Germany, which focus on larger, ultra-luxury custom builds.</p>



<p>Demand remains strong, driven by rising global wealth and a generational shift in ownership. The average age of superyacht owners has fallen by around 10 years over the past two decades, with the 35–45 age group becoming increasingly influential. This new generation prioritizes flexibility, advanced technology, and meaningful travel experiences over overt displays of luxury.</p>



<p>Engines and power systems have become central to purchasing and charter decisions. Traditional yachts rely on twin high-horsepower diesel engines for propulsion and separate diesel generators for onboard power. Hybrid propulsion systems are now gaining ground, combining diesel engines with electric motors and battery banks. These systems allow silent low-speed operation, reducing fuel consumption by 20–30% in certain cruising conditions.</p>



<p>Advanced energy management systems optimize power distribution between propulsion, hotel loads, and battery storage. Some new builds also explore methanol-ready engines and hydrogen fuel-cell technology, particularly for environmentally sensitive cruising areas. Engine choice is increasingly a strategic decision that affects both resale value and charter appeal.</p>



<p>A notable example is Feadship’s Breakthrough, delivered in 2025 — a 118.8 m hybrid superyacht combining diesel-electric propulsion with a hydrogen fuel-cell system, representing one of the most advanced green propulsion approaches in the industry. Currently, hybrid yachts make up around 5% of the fleet, but this share is expected to grow by 10% annually in the coming years.</p>



<p>Sustainability has shifted from a desirable feature to an industry expectation. Hybrid propulsion, alternative fuels, and responsibly sourced materials are increasingly standard in new builds and refits. Yachts with strong environmental credentials attract more charter clients and retain long-term value. Technology is also central to market performance: smart automation systems, AI-driven efficiency tools, and high-speed satellite connectivity are now considered essential.</p>



<p>As the global fleet expands, identity and presentation matter more than ever. In a market shaped by quiet luxury, cohesive design, refined detailing, and strong vessel branding are key competitive differentiators.</p>



<p>Overall, 2026 is defined by steady growth, evolving client expectations, and a stronger emphasis on sustainability, technology, and experience-led value. Those who adapt strategically to these shifts — across both the 30 m+ superyacht segment and the broader 24 m+ charter-ready market — will be best positioned for success in the years ahead.   <strong>PSR</strong></p>

<p><strong>Boot Düsseldorf 2026</strong> welcomed more than 200,000 visitors over nine days (Jan. 17-25) and hosted about 1,500 exhibitors from 120 countries. The show was about the same size as that of the 2025 event, but last year’s show drew exhibitors from only about 67 countries.</p>



<p>Boot once again confirmed its position as the world’s leading indoor boat show. The event covered the entire spectrum of the marine industry, including motorboats, yachts and superyachts, catamarans, sailing boats, outboard and electric boats, engines, power generation systems, equipment and components, as well as touristic services, charter companies, and boating clubs.</p>



<span id="more-14853"></span>



<p><strong>Market Trends<br></strong>Clear market trends emerged during the show. There is a strong shift toward outboard-powered boats, driven by increased usable space, lower maintenance requirements, ease of operation, and more competitive pricing. These boats are mainly used for day trips or short one- to two-day cruises, while long-distance boating currently appears less attractive to many buyers.</p>



<p>The luxury yacht sector continues to perform well. Interest in medium-sized boats with inboard engines remains stable, but sales are more challenging, reflecting ongoing economic and political uncertainty. Many manufacturers described 2025 as a difficult year marked by caution and observation.<strong></strong></p>



<p>Boating demand overall remains strong, particularly in the charter sector. Charter companies are performing very well, and catamaran manufacturers focused on charter fleets reported growth in their order books. Traditional sailing yachts, however, are under increasing pressure to evolve and adapt to the expectations of a new generation of boaters. As a result, many brands are revising their designs and introducing electric propulsion, appealing to environmentally conscious and slow-cruising sailors.</p>



<p>Looking ahead, 2026 is expected to remain a relatively flat year, with no significant growth compared to 2025. Boat manufacturers are therefore concentrating on developing new models, implementing innovative technologies, advancing electric and hybrid solutions, and strengthening strategic partnerships, positioning themselves to respond quickly when market demand strengthens again.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Wide Range of Products<br>A wide range of leading international brands were present, including Azimut-Benetti, Ferretti Group, Princess, Sunseeker, Sanlorenzo, Cranchi, Galeon, Sirena Marine, Delphia, Cobra Yachts, Solaris Yachts, Grand Banks, Frauscher, Saxdor, Axopar, Elling, Santa Severa, Williams Tenders, Pure Yachts, Catana Group, Beneteau, Bavaria Yachts, Hanse Yachts, Saffier, and many others.</p>



<p>Several important new models were launched at the show. The largest new boat on display was the Bluegame BGX83, measuring 25.3 meters. Other key premieres included the Azimut Fly 82 with hybrid technology, the Ferretti Yachts 720, the Pardo 43, the Greenline 42 equipped with the H-Drive 6G hybrid system, the Finnish Saxdor 14.4 meter 460 GTC model, the Turkish AIATA Sunfinder 50 and 38, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 50, and the SACS TecnoRib Pirelli X460.</p>

<p>No other boat has pushed the boundaries of green yachting as far as the MODX 70, winner of the 2025 Multihull of the Year award for its advanced, intelligent vision of zero-carbon sailing, announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival.</p>



<p>The concept was introduced in 2008 and finally brought to life in 2025 through the combined efforts of Ocean Development, VPLP Design, Aeroforce, MG Energy, Madden Tech, and many other visionary partners.</p>



<p>The project has earned recognition from the French government under the France 2030 Plan, receiving support through the i-Nov competition for sustainable and intelligent mobility in 2021, which helped fund the ambitious and costly development.</p>



<p><a href="https://modx-catamarans.com/#video-scrub-anchor">Read The Article</a></p>



<span id="more-14418"></span>



<p>At Cannes, the final product was unveiled: a 21.33-meter, fully electric, high-performance trimaran offering 200 m² of living space.</p>



<p>Ocean Development, led by passionate sustainability and yachting advocates Marco Simeoni, Franck David, and Jean Guyon, developed the concept and oversaw construction of the vessel in Lorient, France. The design phase, managed by VPLP Design, took four years, while building the first unit required 18 months.</p>



<p>The MODX 70 is equipped with two retractable wings inspired by aeronautics and developed by Aeroforce. These inflatable wings rise 23 meters high, can be adjusted from 25% to 100% efficiency, and operate fully automatically. With no need for traditional rigging, navigation is simplified and comfortable.</p>



<p>Propulsion is powered by a 250 kWh MG Energy Systems LiFePo4 battery storage system, divided into two banks. These feed two ENGIRO electric motors of 40 kW each, supported by 70 m² of NME3 Next Generation solar panels and a hydrogeneration system.</p>



<p>An AI-driven autopilot system developed by Madden Tech oversees vessel operations, seamlessly integrating propulsion and wing management.</p>



<p>The first MODX 70 has already been acquired by Mr. Stan Shih, co-owner of Acer Group Taiwan, who will use it to champion clean, quiet, and intelligent yachting.  <strong>PSR</strong></p>

<p>The Italian superyachts manufacturer<strong> Sanlorenzo</strong> and <strong>Volvo Penta</strong> are working to enhance yachting efficiency and sustainability by integrating the <strong>Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform</strong> into the new SX120 and SX132 superyachts.</p>



<p>As part of its “<strong>Road to 2030</strong>” strategy, Sanlorenzo, a leading superyacht manufacturer, continues to drive innovation following the 2024 launch of the <strong>50 Steel</strong>, the first superyacht powered by a green methanol-to-hydrogen fuel cell.</p>



<p>The IPS Professional Platform is an integrated, modular propulsion system developed by Volvo Penta and has been successfully tested on the 37 meters passenger ferry called Penta 40 in Sweden in 2024. It is designed for commercial vessels and superyachts between 25 and 55+ meters to improve efficiency, sustainability, reliability and comfort on the sea.</p>



<span id="more-13307"></span>



<p>The system is based on multiple energy sources, ranging from renewable-fuel combustion engines to fully electric or hybrid options. The intelligent management system optimizes energy use by automatically selecting the most efficient power source based on real-time conditions at sea. The platform&#8217;s compact, rear-mounted design maximizes onboard space and comfort. Compared to traditional inboard shafts, it reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 30%, cuts noise and vibration by 50%, improves power efficiency by 30%, and enhances acceleration by 40%.</p>



<p>The 36-meter Sanlorenzo SX120 and 40-meter Sanlorenzo SX132, featuring this advanced power system, are set to launch in 2025 and 2027, respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>PSR</strong></p>

<p>More than 600 exhibitors from the marine pleasure industry showed off their latest models of boats, yachts, marine equipment and other products and services at the 47<sup>th</sup> annual Cannes Yachting Festival, Europe’s biggest in-water event, just closed its doors. The event ran Sept. 10-15.</p>



<p>An estimated 50,000 visitors attended the festival and got an excellent note for organization from all participants and visitors. The next year’s edition will be held Sept. 9-14, 2025.</p>



<p>The electric marine market has been very dynamic in the last 10 years and electric products and accessories were very popular at the show. Investments in research and development of new technologies and their implementation into boats have been extremely high.</p>



<span id="more-12495"></span>



<p>Electric boats and yachts are, as expected, more expensive than traditionally powered boats but in the long term they produce savings on fuel and maintenance. The electric boats boating benefits are still unknown to the large public and need promotion.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="alignleft size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="140" height="133" src="https://www.powersys.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/CannesYacht2024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-12596"/></figure>
</div>


<p>Many electric and hybrid boat and equipment manufacturers that we talked with at the show confirm that the market is growing but slower than they had been hoping. The EU regulations for CO2 emission reduction in inland and open water, development of infrastructure in marinas, better technologies, safety and capacity of batteries, are still challenging battle fields.</p>



<p>We estimate that the electrification of the marine pleasure industry will have a positive trend in coming years. This year growth is estimated to 15% compared to 2023. The years approaching 2030 will bring more opportunities in pleasure segments as popularization of the new style and sustainable boating is seriously taking place in Europe and abroad. The expected growth of the market is up to 20% year by year. The acceleration of the electrification will be probably possible from 2030 when Green Fuels and technologies will be available to replace fossil fuel engines in boats of all types and sizes.</p>



<p>Well-known boat builders mainly coming from Poland and Turkey displayed 170 boats and yacht in size from 8 to 30 meters.&nbsp; Eco-innovations and advanced propulsion systems were present more than ever. Traditionally powered boats and yachts dominated the show, but the electric and hybrid boats and yachts are gaining visibility and attracted extensive interest.</p>



<p>As usual, the biggest and the most impressive displays were those from the luxury motor yachts and super yachts manufacturers as of <strong>Azimut-Benetti, Sunseeker, San Lorenzo, Ferretti, Princess</strong> or <strong>Fairline</strong>.&nbsp; <strong>Galeon, Cranchi, Sirena</strong> and other motor yachts builders continuously working on new boat models take up more space at the festival every year.</p>



<p>Motor yachts and superyachts adopt new designs offering a maximal open view to sea, more space and as much as possible sustainable yachting. Alternative fuel propulsion systems are not in application yet but some efforts supporting less polluting navigation in marina are made. Tenders for superyachts are regularly equipped with an electric solution.</p>



<p>Motor yachts in size from to 20 to 24 meters are mainly equipped with diesel <strong>MAN</strong> or <strong>Volvo Penta</strong> inboard engines, superyachts require the MTU or Caterpillar powerful propulsion. Manufacturers of luxury sports cruisers from Europe and overseas countries have been present in a large number. Boats in size up to 20 meters are mainly equipped with Volvo Penta IPS or <strong>Mercury</strong> outboard engines.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Sailing boats and yachts manufacturers like <strong>Beneteau, Hanse Yachts, Dufour, Bavaria Yachts, X-Yachts, Nautor Swan, Gunboat, Outremer, Solaris, CNB, Grand Soleil, Fountaine Pajot</strong>, and others are looking for innovations in design and material to gain in space and light and to get closer to eco responsible yachting.</p>



<p>French Fountaine Pajot is developing an electric/hybrid option for existing models (odsea LAB project). Sailing catamarans <strong>Lagoon</strong> and <strong>Bali</strong>, remain the bestselling yachts at the show. Charter companies’ purchase catamarans massively produced globally to satisfy a growing demand. Australian <strong>Seawind</strong> catamaran is entering European market with the new model fully manufactured in recently launched shipyard in Turkey. Sailing yachts and catamarans are powered by Yanmar sail drive engines.</p>



<p>Electric and hybrid boats and yacht manufacturers <strong>including Candela, Wider, Whisper, Silent Yachts, Greenline, Sunreef, Frauscher, Elan, Vaan, Windelo, HH Catamarans, X-Yachts, Axopar, Lumen Yachts, de Antonio Yachts</strong>, and others, created lots of interest at the festival. They are using safe and reliable propulsion systems built in partnership with the most advanced electric and hybrid propulsion systems and components manufacturers such as <strong>Evoy, Huracan, Torqeedo, OceanVolt, MG energy, BMW, Polestar, ePropulsion, e-Motion, Danfoss</strong>, etc. They are promoting slow, silent and eco-responsible boating.</p>



<p>Fossil fuel engine manufacturers such as of <strong>Rolls-Royce/MTU, MAN, Cummins, Yanmar International, Volvo Penta, FPT Industry, Moteurs Boudouin</strong> presented their improved engines and propulsion systems for yachts. They are working on upgrading the existing engines to respond to the latest emission standards requirements worldwide. New fuel technologies development is in progress, but it is not expected to be implemented in yachts before 2035.</p>



<p>Yanmar launched a new sail drive electric engine in collaboration with the battery manufacturer MG Energy. Three models SDe7, SDe10 and SDe15- give an output of up to 15 kW for 100% emission free sailing.&nbsp; Mercury launched the electric outboard motor line Avator with power from 7.5 to 110 kW. Torqeedo presented the latest inboard electric motor Deep Blue 100i with a power of 100 kW (135 hp) and the new XP Travel outboard electric motor with the power of 5 hp for inland boating. The high-performant Deep Blue Battery 80 based on BMW technology is launched at the festival. BlueNav invented a retractable electric motor for cleaner navigation for new or existing boats having a diesel engine(s).</p>



<p>Among large motor yachts, luxury superyachts, motor and sailing catamarans, outboard boats, RIB’s and other types of boats equipped with one or more fossil fuel engines, the fully electric boats, motor and battery manufacturers drew plenty of attention from attendees.</p>



<p>The Power Systems Research team spoke with exhibitors about their latest creations, and current market trends. Here are some experiences and thoughts from the field.</p>



<p>The Swedish builder <strong>Candela</strong> is a pioneer in a hydrofoiling electric boat production. After many years of research and development, the first model C-7 was launched in 2019. The latest model C-8 designed in partnership with Polstar was launched in 2023. 25 units of the C-8 design have been delivered. This year’s plan is to double production. The leisure market shows a positive trend. Candela heavily invested in the creation of the ferry C-12 having a capacity of 31 persons as the commercial segment has shown great interest in CO2 free boating.&nbsp; Six units of ferries are sold and are in production. They will be used for urban transportation on the lakes.</p>



<p><strong>Whisper Yachts</strong> fully designs and manufactures solar powered electric boats in Italy. The first Whisper 50, the 15 meters in lengths boat was presented at the show. It is equipped with two Torqeedo engines of 100 kW and three <strong>BMW</strong> batteries totaling 240 kWh. The boat is designed for slow, silent and clean long-distance boating. The company is launching a new Whisper 40 model in 2025. The model Whisper 60 is also coming soon.</p>



<p><strong>Lumen</strong> is the Dutch electric day boat brand launched in 2018. The first E32 model has been replaced by the spacious and stylish E10 model. They are built by <strong>JR</strong> yachts in the Netherlands. The propulsion system is based on the motor built in-house and using <strong>MG</strong> batteries. Six units have been delivered, primarily to boat clubs. The Lumen team is promoting slow, comfortable and responsible boating in the leisure market. Having a traditional elegant style but being modern and different in propulsion, the E10 attracted a lot of attention at the Cannes Yachting Festival.</p>



<p><strong>Evoy</strong>, the Norway manufacturer of electric inboard and outboard motors, batteries and chargers, started collaboration with the Finnish outboard boat manufacturer <strong>Axopar</strong> two years ago. The fast-growing brand manufactures about 3500 units of outboard boats per year and is now focusing on sustainable boating. The new AX/E line offers two models of electric boats AX/25 and AX/22 equipped by Evoy electric motors Storm 300+ and Outboard Brees 120+, respectively. The Evoy propulsion systems allow charging batteries from 10% to 80% in 45 minutes. Axopar sees double-digit growth of the electric market in the coming years.</p>



<p><strong>Huracan Marine</strong>, the Italian manufacturer of inboard, sterndrive, sail drive and outboard electric motors and batteries, produces products primarily for builders of electric yachts and tenders, such as <strong>Silent Yachts.</strong> However, larger scale sales are expected to come from the commercial segment. The transition of Venetians traditional water traffic canal boats and privately owned boats to non-fossil engines powered boats should be implemented by 2028. This and other environmental projects directed by the state and municipality administration open new opportunities for business development.</p>



<p><strong>MG Energy Systems</strong> presented the latest versions of its battery systems developed for boats and yachts of <strong>Ferretti Spa, Wajer Yachts, Azimut Benetti, Garcia Yachts, Elan, Dragonfly, Windelo, Vaan</strong> and others. <strong>PSR</strong></p>
