New Model: Riva Aquariva Special 10.07 m

The Aquariva is the boat that inherited the legacy of the legendary Aquarama, becoming the most storied model in the range with more than 300 units produced in over 20 years. The Aquariva, a symbol of Riva’s contemporary spirit, writes its seventh new chapter in the history books as it debuts the Special version, an honour previously bestowed only on the Aquarama. True to the proportions and harmonious lines that made the boat so famous, the Aquariva Special interacts with the brand’s current stylistic hallmarks to achieve a perfect balance between the heritage of the original model and the contemporary design that characterises more recent Rivas. The subtle touches that define the new aesthetic of the Aquariva Special are by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, founders of Officina Italiana Design, the studio that has been designing all Riva boats on an exclusive basis for over thirty years working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee of the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. One of the most important new features is the windscreen, which has been completely redesigned to give the boat’s silhouette a more modern and streamlined look. The stern swim platform also has a wider and more ergonomic design, featuring steps with a new curvature to offer guests even more comfort and make it easier to enter and leave the water. The handrail and mooring cleat pay tribute to the previous version, the Aquariva Super, while the mahogany fascia is now fibreglass and the same colour chosen by the owner for the hull, as are the large sunpad and the air intake grilles. One of the standout features at the bow is the new design of the navigation lights and casing, which Aquariva Special shares with Riva Anniversario the limited edition created in 2022 to celebrate 180 years since the brand’s foundation, while the deck is perfectly smooth again, without the traditional skylights reminiscent of the Aquarama, creating an even more pared-down look. The cockpit area is designed as an elegant lounge on the water that blends comfort and conviviality with a sense of refinement. The large U-shaped sofa upholstered in Sky fabric the same colour as the hull embraces the central space, creating a welcoming area that can be transformed according to the time of day by means of a centrally positioned table, also available with an up-down mechanism, used to convert the dining area seating up to eight into a private and protected additional sunbathing area. Shelter from the sun is provided by a bimini top operated by an electro-hydraulic mechanism housed in the sofa backrest. Moving forward, the driving seat is on the port side, with a practical service cabinet to starboard containing a sink, a fridge and a work top, perfect for making cocktails and snacks. The dashboard pays homage to tradition and is available in an analogue version, as well as in a digital version with up to two Boening displays and an integrated navigation system. The boat can also be equipped with a joystick for even more intuitive control during mooring operations. A major innovation is the option to fit the Aquariva Special with a Seakeeper NG6 to eliminate roll, ensuring absolute comfort both under way and at anchor. The installation of this advanced system is made possible by the decision to introduce infusion hull lamination in place of the manual process, significantly reducing the weight of the boat without affecting its structural rigidity. This makes it feasible to install a gyroscopic stabilizer without affecting the boat’s trim or performance. To stabilise the boat when under way, Aquariva Special is now fitted with Humphree interceptors in place of the flaps on the previous version. Performance-wise, Aquariva Special has the same verve as always and is fitted with twin Yanmar 370hp engines paired with electronically controlled two-speed gearboxes, driving the boat to a top speed up to forty knots and a cruise of 36 knots while unleashing the pleasure of Riva’s signature cruising style.

New Model: Axopar 38 XC Cross Cabin

Axopar is once again to set new standards, as it debuts the new 38 series, with the XC Cross Cabin debuting at the Boot Düsseldorf 2026.  The 38 XC Cross Cabin is to be followed by the Axopar 38 Sun Top and Cross Top launching later this year.  With an uncompromising drive to innovate, Axopar's all-new 38 range redefines onboard liveability and comfort while delivering an unrivalled driving experience on one of the best-handling hulls in the world. The Axopar 38 is the most ambitious and impactful range in Axopar’s history, built to make boating easier, safer, and more enjoyable for seasoned boaters and beginners alike, and follows the legacy and DNA of the iconic Axopar 37 range, which become an industry icon and has shaped boating culture around the world selling nearly three thousand units in a ten year production run, with owners ranging from first-time boaters to experienced captains, offshore adventurers, commercial operators, and governments.  At the same time the Axopar 37 reflects the broader Axopar philosophy that created a category of its own, adventure boating, building boats designed for real use, real conditions, and the freedom to explore further.  Axopar believes that a boat must adapt to different uses with minimal compromise, as boating today is broader, more social, and more versatile than ever. People spend longer days on the water and use their boat for a wider range of activities. The all-new Axopar 38 is created to meet that need. It is the result of the most extensive investments in R&D than any previous Axopar range, continuing the company’s philosophy of functional, flexible, and timeless Nordic design that enables real experiences without unnecessary complexity.

New Model: Tiara 46 LS

Tiara present the new 46 LS.  A replacement to the 48 LS, the 46 LS brings soft evolution to its slight larger outgoing sister, from improved seating and improved lower deck cabin space.  The LS range is an enormous success and part of it comes from the three aft cockpit modules; buffet, chaise and adventure allowing owners to tailor the 46 LS for entertaining, seeking adventure, or embracing pure relaxation, with this enhanced by a portside terrace that opens the boat to the water. Sliding glass doors enclose the cockpit for protection from the elements, while below deck a serene retreat awaits, featuring a forward berth, mid-cabin stateroom, and well-appointed head. A thoughtfully designed mid-cockpit galley, paired with expanded prep space and pantry amenities below deck, create a stress-free environment for entertaining.  The Tiara 46 LS is powered by triple Mercury 600hp for top speeds up to 51 knots, and a best cruise of 41 knots.

New Model: Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

Seeing the sport cruiser segment changing in recent years, Beneteau made a big turn around and decided to redesign all its Gran Turismo range with three new models.  This new second generation Gran Turismo 40 shows the way forward for what has been Beneteau's success of the last two decades, with this model a replacement to the Gran Turismo 41 produced since 2021, what was previously the first generation Gran Turismo 40, Flyer Gran Turismo 38, and debuted as the Monte Carlo 37 in 2006.  It's been nineteen years of improving for what over the years became the European sport cruiser standard.  With this new Gran Turismo 40, Beneteau instructed its long standing designer Andreani; he designed all the four models mentioned, to make a hybrid, a sport cruiser which brings the amenities of the walk-around cruisers which are dominating the market, like the Fjord, Pardo's and Solaris Power models mixed to those of a cabin boat.  This new Gran Turismo is just that offering for half its length full walk-around comfort, which expands more thanks to the drop down bulkheads, and then from midships it is a cabin boat, with the helm station also enclosing itself from the aft deck, and the forward raised deck which offers lower deck cabin space for four.  The new Benateau Gran Turismo 40 is powered by twin Yanmar 370hp on stern drives propulsion for speeds up to 32 knots, with an outboard gas petrol twin Mercury 400hp also being available.  The second generation Gran Turismo 40 is also offered in the Alpine Edition, for special details and finishing to make that more special.

Project: Bellini Astor 38

Following the positive response of its first model the Astor 36, Bellini presents the project for the bit larger Astor 38.  A project of Brunello Acampora, the Bellini Astor 38 is developed on the same hull lines of the 36, with the extra length giving a more spacious interior.  For the most part everything is near identical to the Astor 36 in the Astor 38, same very large drop down bulkheads, same center console walk-around console layout with goes up forward to offer a sun-pad on deck and more space in the cabin.  The main difference comes in the cabin and at midships now coming with twin berths, rather then the double tucked in the Astor 36.  A bit larger bathing platform also distincts the Astor 38 from the smaller sister.  The Bellini Astor 38 is to be powered by twin Volvo 350hp in gasoline, and or 300hp diesel engines, both units with stern drive propulsion.

Project: Nimbus 495 Coupe

During the 2026 Dusseldorf boat show, Nimbus announced the 495 Coupe project, a showing to its roots for the hard-top cruiser which defined the Swedish boat builder into its expansive story. Coupé has been with Nimbus since 1968 as it presented the 26 model in that year, a type of sport cruiser which was born with that concept, and Nimbus always evolved it in nearly sixty years of boat building success.  Even when open boats were in huge demand Nimbus recognized the Coupe hard-top boat perfection for the Northern climates, which defined its success; protected when conditions demand it, open when the weather allows. The 495 Coupé,  based on the 495 Flybridge platform which arrived in 2024, is the largest expression of this philosophy: designed for extended life aboard without the need for crew. You lose the flybridge and for this the 495 Coupe gains a large skylight, electric soft top for sun protection, and a air draft of under 3.5 metres, suited for those who want to boat in the inland waterways of Northern Europe.

Project: Tiara 35 LS

Tiara Yachts present the 35 LS project, a ten meter family sports cruiser, and a replacement to the 34 LS after seven years of production. The Tiara LS line is an expression of maximum entertainment, and the entry level of the range 35 LS does not escape this, with bow to stern seating everywhere, deep gunnels and thoughtfully placed handrails provide confidence moving around the boat, while excellent visibility at the helm helps the pilot keep an eye on everyone onboard. Forward, the bow seating invites conversation and shared views, while the aft cockpit is the heart of the experience. It shifts easily from two seating zones into one generous lounge, giving your group the flexibility to spread out or come together. Below deck the cabin offers a forward U-shaped seating which converts into a double berth, and a private wet-head to starboard.  The Tiara 35 LS is to be powered by twin Mercury outboards of standard 350hp, and or optional 425hp.

Project: Performance 120X

Following the return to production with the Performance 90X in 2025, the German powerboat specialist follow it with the 120X project set to arrive in 2027.  The 120X is designed by Kiska from Salzburg, Austria, a designer more associated with motorcycle, helmet, and cycle design, but has previous boating works for Frauscher and Marian.  Apart the clean lines, reminiscent of decades gone by, for example the sloop sweeping stern reminds of the Tornado 11 from the nineties, with the 120X Kiska breaks Performance into new conventions.  He does this by introducing super car elements from a striking V-split windshield which apart a visual highlight also creates a barrier-free access to the bow, and visible carbon frame structures and wing outlets that offer a glimpse into the engine room. The 120X is also to be the first twin stepped hull Performance, with engines power and speed numbers not yet announced.

New Model: Riva Cento 11.88 m

Riva Cento is the exclusive limited edition that celebrates and renews the legend of the Sarnico-based boat builder with contemporary style. Produced in only twelve units, the Cento is a limited edition version based on the Rivamare which arrived in 2016 and has sold in one hundred units.  Cento means one hundred, and to celebrate this success, Riva in its usual fashion conceived this limited collectors edition of only twelve units, with renewed detailing of design and finishes.  The limited edition finishes comes from the Fireworks Black color, and ribbed leather finished cushions available in the two biscuit or aquamarine and white combination colours. The distinct details that recognize the Cento from the Rivamare are; different engine air intake, no hand railing to aft of the windshield, and a  longer and wider stainless steel pillar on the fore-deck. For the remaining the Cento keeps the details of the Rivamare from its distinctive stern area which tilts to create a unique bathing area, to its refined cockpit, and its double berth cabin with shower/head to port side.

New Model: Regal 34 SAV

During the 2026 Miami boat show Regal presented the new 34 SAV, what many considered the boat of the show.  A replacement to the 33 SAV which has been produced since 2018, the 34 SAV features Regal latest gizmos; drop-down balconies, optional more sport-fishing features, and a lower deck with sleeping accommodation for four.  The sleeping accommodation for four is an important detail of the 34 SAV, as it is unheard in walk-around center-console cruisers of ten meters in length, and while the 33 SAV offered this it was in reality more a sport cruiser with walk-around features then this new 34 is.  Competition with such features are also unheard and those with similar decks to the 34 SAV like the Boston Whaler 350 Realm, new Intrepid 35 Panacea, and Tiara LS34 only offer cabin sleeping accommodation for two.  For a walk-around-cruiser sleeping four the Italian Fiart Seawalker 35 is probably the only option.  The sportfish part sees Regal latest trend on its latest SAV and LX models added if one wants with fishing options in the Fish Package.  The Regal 34 SAV is powered by twin Yamaha 350hp or Mercury 425hp for top speeds up to 45 knots from the large engines.

New Model: Everglades 367CX

Everglades is the next brand to enter the larger dual console sizes as they debut the 367CX which is to be followed by a seven foot larger sister. You can see that large dual consoles are on the rise, as Everglades expands the size after it debuted in the genre in 2012 with the 230 Dual Console, which was followed by the 340 Dual Console arriving in 2019, and this 367CX replaces.  The 367CX debuts what Everglades calls the seven series Crossovers range, and apart a three part hard-top and deck space from fore to aft, brings also a nice cabin with accommodation for two, a galley and separate head.  The trick in the Everglades 367CX is the rotating aft settee in the center of the cockpit, which can change the settee and wet bar position; settee can become from forward looking to a mezzanine, while the summer galley can turn from a social gather on the aft into the protective area under the hard-top.   The Everglades 367CX is powered by twin Yamaha 350hp as standard, and or optional engines up to Yamaha 450hp, with Mercury's 400 and 425hp offered in between.  To be fair I think the standard engines give a very good performances, and also the best litres to nautical miles which goes up to 328 nautical miles at 28 knots.

New Model: Intrepid 35 Panacea

Intrepid presents its completely new 35 Panacea, which debuted at the 2026 Miami boat show.  The 35 Panacea signals a complete new design direction for Intrepid, a revolution rather then an evolution for the Florida based builder who looks at others, in particular the Boston Whaler Realm and Tiara LS models.  For over forty years and from its 30 Console Cuddy debut model Intrepid was different and among the first in doing cabin-center-consoles hybrid boats and becoming the easy choice for those who wanted accommodation, performance, and sport-fishing features in one boat.  Now that everything is a hybrid, even center consoles are coming with cabin spaces and more entertaining features today than yesteryears, Intrepid is not the outcast anymore, founding itself in a need to compete.  The 35 Panacea does nothing wrong, with its caveat being that it does not look like an Intrepid at all, for example why they did not keep the beautiful stern as previous recent models, rather then this new basic sloop stern look.  The problem with the 35 Panacea is this, that you could put any sticker to it, and it would be a great boat, with the Intrepid badge it is a matter for the brand aficionados to cast the votes.

New Model: Cranchi A32 Luxury Tender

Following the A46 Luxury Tender which arrived in 2021 it was a matter of time for Cranchi to follow it with another second Luxury Tender, enters the Cranchi A32 Luxury Tender and like the four meters larger sister comes again from a design of Christian Grande.  The ten meter size has always been big for Cranchi since it became a World known name back in the eighties.  Do you remember the 31 Endurance from the eighties? It was in short words the Cranchi which road mapped the Italian builder to international fame.  With the A32 Cranchi does not forget how important this size has been to its success.  The A32 unlike its larger sister is not a full walk-around and more a hybrid day-sport-cruiser style, with a drop-down bulk-head to port side to increase cockpit space and connection to the sea at anchor.  While not a walk-around the A32 is still about exterior and cockpit spaces, easy to use from stern to bow, but cabin space is also interesting, offering a forward C-shaped dinette which transforms to a double berth, mini double berth at midships, and a wet-head to starboard.  The Cranchi A32 is powered by twin Volvo 280hp gas engines coupled to stern drive propulsion, with options for larger twin 350hp, and or 270hp diesels.
