The Boot Düsseldorf 2026 is preparing to become a major stage for the world of “adventure boats”: fast, versatile boats designed for those who want to push themselves beyond the classic Sunday outing.

Among the new additions are four models straddling the boat threshold, between 8 and 12 meters, perhaps the most popular market size for this segment:

• Nordkapp 830 Enduro
• Marcopolo MP10 from the new Italian shipyard
• The highly anticipated Axopar 38
• The three new Nimbus 12

Nordkapp 830 Enduro

The Nordkapp 830 Enduro brings the Scandinavian school of the sporty walkaround to the water: a prominent bow, protected center console, well-integrated T-top and a cockpit that transitions from dining area to large sundeck in just a few steps. This is a boat designed for outdoor living, with large aft swim platforms, convenient access to the water but also a small cabin below deck for resting or spending the night at anchor. As many as four deck layouts, ranging from a full open to a well sheltered command post. But you can customize every single detail with an extensive configurator on their site. State-of-the-art outboard engines, combined with a deep-V hull, aim for a mix of safety and performance even in rough seas. The concept is that of the “SUV of the sea.”

MarcoPolo MP10

MP10 is one of the first two models of the new MarcoPolo Adventure Yachts shipyard. The name is a program, and it aims to inaugurate a new all-Italian “adventure boats” strand. The first thing that strikes you is the very wide bow, which, combined with an inverted windshield, immediately gives a rugged, almost professional-inspired image. Walkaround layout and a lot of usability, essential for a boat of this type, are combined with more classic solutions, such as the large bow sundeck, to make it to all intents and purposes a versatile boat between a family day out or a longer, more demanding cruise.

And if 10 meters was not enough for you, MarcoPolo will also present its sister MP12, with the same philosophy but even larger spaces, especially in the aft cockpit.

Axopar 38

With the new Axopar 38, the Finnish shipyard evolves its best-selling Axopar 37 in an even more versatile key. The Cross Cabin version combines an enclosed deckhouse with large glass areas and an opening roof, transforming the salon from a dining area to a lounge or berth thanks to swivel seating and modular furnishings. Outside, Axopar’s typical walkaround layout allows for safe movement from bow to stern, with well-separated lounging areas. The new multi-step hull, coupled with high-end outboard power, is avowedly designed for fast cruising and for those who use the boat off-season. A model that innovates without upsetting the Axopar DNA.

Nimbus 12

Closing the picture is the Nimbus WTC series (Weekender, Tender, and Commuter), which will be declined to an even greater length, reaching an impressive 12 meters. The 11-meter range has been a success and has become a best-seller for the shipyard. The three models continue to share the hull-double step-and a deck platform set up as a walkaround, modulating between the Tender (the more open one) and the Commuter (cabin) to switch from day boating to true cruising. Also new on engines, with the choice between outboard and inboard now much more widespread. A boat designed to be used often, for a long time and in a variety of conditions, from a summer weekend to a move in more challenging weather, in true Scandinavian style.
