Exploring, sailing in style or spending a day on the sea?
These are the new models most representative of the market trends in which we see the growth of livable space on board, versatility, but also the possibility to customize.
The ten iconic boats for 2025 from 8 to 20 meters that you can see up close at the Genoa Boat Show 2024.
FIM 500 Queen
There is a new Italian flagship.
The result of a path of upward growth by the Cividate al Piano shipyard, today we see the latest level reached: a 15-meter that shares the stylistic traits of the rest of the range with livability and optimal management of interior and exterior spaces at the center, where FIM also availed itself of the collaboration of the Design aLot studio.
The Grand Touring line, a boat for all seasons, is highlighted by the presence of a large central hard-top, a trait already seen and appreciated in the other models in the range.
Its peculiarity is that it is integrated with the windshield, but with fixed side windows that protect without taking air away from those on board or in the cockpit.
The hardtop roof itself is at the top of the technology.
Very light, it is made entirely of infusion carbon, recycled in the panelling and can install photovoltaic panels.
In keeping with the needs of the modern owner, then, this hull is equipped with the latest level of home automation that not only allows you to manage lighting or sound systems, but goes all the way to cameras and assisted mooring systems.
Sun decks for lounging forward and aft (with a mega-convertible sofa) or a comfortable living area under the roof served by a galley cabinet, also equipped with pull-out TV, make the exteriors very livable.
For sea access, there is a large aft platform, which can be moved, with space for a tender garage.
Moving on to the interior: the focus is undoubtedly on volume, as you would expect from a flagship on which airiness and light are key.
The owner’s cabin aft is a suite on the sea with great attention to materials and colors, with a private bathroom and shower that faces directly inside the cabin with an unusual play of mirrors.
In the bow, the VIP cabin is effectively a second owner’s cabin with storage area, beauty and bathroom with separate shower stall.

Patrone 45′
Heir to the Patrone 100, a model launched last year, this new 45′ is the result of a collaboration between the Patrone shipyard and architect Tommaso J Spadolini.
It is a cabin cruiser, also designed for cruising, but with extra external livability.
The lines are simple and minimal with this layout: the aft cockpit is particularly enveloping and conveys a feeling of protection.
Toward the bow, on the other hand, it is a prominent stanchion that provides support for movement and keeps life on board safe at all times.
This allows not to spoil the profile with an overly “inflated” bow while maintaining important interior volumes.
The cockpit the Spadolini studio has designed three different layouts with a choice of a larger kitchenette or a double helm seat.
The first example has a mega C-shaped seat designed to enhance conviviality and moments together on board and a large bow sundeck.
The bridge and galley are covered by a T-top that can be integrated with an awning that can be extended via stainless steel supports to the aft broadside with the possibility of enclosing the aft area with a curtain system capable of including the C-seat. This solution, in vogue on Nordic models increases the versatility of the hull, which can thus be used even when the sun is not on our side.
Customization for the yard is a strong point, and the interiors prove it to us with six different customization options that, however, always allow the second bathroom to be maintained, offering further customization possibilities thanks to bathroom cabins of different sizes, a second galley and/or an openspace dinette.
The deck is made of eco-teak while the interior is made of natural wood, using water-based paints with low environmental impact.
The T-top, on the other hand, is designed to accommodate solar panels.
Today’s boat owners, finally, to the modern goiter something extra in terms of speed as well.
For this the yard, has optimized the hull and equipped the 45′ with a pair of Yanmar turbodiesels of 440hp each in V-drive transmission.

Italy Yachts 43 Veloce
Creating a new walkaround today is not easy.
Italy is fertile ground where this type of boat has found many admirers, but above all it has dictated the rules of the most successful models in the segment.
Italia Yachts is one of the most interesting names in the world of “made in Italy” sailing and has decided to bring its style also among powerboats.
And the 43 Veloce motor yacht reflects what is the general philosophy of the shipyard.
Italia Yachts were born as sport cruising boats, and with this walkaround they have gone exactly in that direction.
At 14 meters long by 4.15 beam, she is a design created in collaboration with Skyron Lab while the interiors are designed by Arbore Design, which is the studio to which IY has entrusted the interior development of all its constructions.
The style is open with great exterior walkability, space for movement and large relaxation and convivial areas that characterize the deck.
The aft bulwarks can be opened to further expand the surface area when at anchor.
In the bow area we have a deckhouse that can be exploited with cushions for sunbathing.
Distinctive element are the soft and at the same time strong lines that characterize in particular the T-top giving an elegant and streamlined design.
The large windshield provides a virtually 360-degree view around the dashboard.
Inside, there is room for a variety of layouts: from the master stateroom forward and two single beds aft, to two double cabins or one double aft and just an open living area forward.
Customization is also maximized in propulsion where there is a choice of Volvo Penta IPS, stern drives or outboard motors.
Performance-wise, the top speed is around 40 knots.

Cranchi Sixty-seven Stroke
The Italian sportbridge has arrived.
On the success of the Sixty-seven 67, Cranchi has created the Corsa version.
The upper deck is without a t-top and this slims up the sporty silhouette enhanced by the red beauty line and Corsa lettering in the same shade.
Once again it is the hand of Christian Grande to create plays of lines and colors for owners who are looking for sophisticated style in the boat in addition to seaworthiness, comfort and performance.
In the stern is a dehors consisting of a living area equipped with vents for cooling and a staircase for access to the upper deck, a galley with a refrigerator, icemaker, and hideaway TV.
At the far aft end a double sundeck, equal to a sea terrace, overlooks the platform equipped with a movable lift for embarking and disembarking water toys or the tender (up to 3.25 m) for which there is a nearby garage.
On the main deck, on the other hand, the interior area, connected by a large door to the outdoor patio, is divided into three: the living area with dinette, hideaway TV, sofa and low table; the galley equipped as a true Italian boat; and the wheelhouse with electronic instrumentation to manage the home automation systems.
The deck above, although it does not have a t-top, can be covered by a shade sail with four removable poles and is designed to be lived in to the fullest: a large sundeck, a C-shaped sofa with side tables as well as a wet-bar behind the two bridge seats.
Below deck we find the full-beam master stateroom with a walk-in closet, a sitting area and a very large bathroom.
The suite office area is replaceable with a fourth stateroom with bunk beds.
Basic on board are then a VIP cabin and guest cabin, with private bathroom and double bed.
The boat also has a crew cabin with two separate beds and a bathroom with shower.
For customization, the Cranchi Atelier program is available, enhancing the Italian style with three different décor solutions: Syracuse, Pisa and Milan.
The engine room has two Volvo Penta D13 six-cylinder inline engines capable of providing 1000 HP of power each with IPS.

Solaris 52 Coupe
Solaris Power launches a new 16.2-meter voted up to 6 berths, with deck space and volumes and cabins that are record-breaking in their category.
In keeping with the shipyard’s tradition, the emphasis is on marine qualities and behavior at sea, where the yard invests significant technical and scientific resources to optimize weight balance and positioning the center of gravity as low as possible, for safe and comfortable sailing in all sea conditions, smooth passage over the wave, and particularly low fuel consumption.
The high, sculpted broadside recalls the elegance of lobster lines.
The new Solaris has razor-sharp aft swim platform, a beach area with a central sundeck facing aft with an integrated coffee table, and a tender garage below.
Two protected walkways lead to the forward lounge area with a large sunpad recessed into the deckhouse.
In the middle of the boat is the salon, which has a 360-degree view of the sea thanks to large windows with an open-air galley at the side and a large C-shaped sofa complete with a center table useful both for meals and as a convivial space.
Just beyond, close to the windshield, is the helm station with a double sofa.
Below deck, the shipyard opted for two layouts. In a first case (A), the aft section of the sleeping area is devoted to a double cabin with sofa and en suite bathroom, and a small single cabin. In the B variant, however, the double cabin sacrifices the sofa and private toilet room, for the gain, however, of a double cabin in front.
Standard motorization is with a pair of Volvo Penta D6-IPS 650s, for a maximum speed of 28 knots and 22 knots at cruising speed.
However, an upgraded version with two Volvo Penta D8-IPS800 is also available, for maximum speed of 33 knots and cruising speed of 25 knots.
In both cases, the fuel tank will remain unchanged, with a total capacity of 2,000 l.

Sunseeker Predator 55
Thirty years of the Predator range.
It was 1994 when the Predator 63 made its debut, giving way to one of the longest-running and most successful ranges in the world.
Who does not remember the Sunseeker Predator 108 appearing in the movie Casino Royale, from the James Bond series, as the yacht of the “villain” of the day, Le Chiffre.
Back to the new 55.
Since the 1990s, technology has advanced a lot, and this yacht proves it.
Take for example the retractable sunroof: not only is it made entirely of carbon fiber, but it uses materials and processes used in Formula 1.
On a general level, the line is typical of the range, but softer and more streamlined distributed over 17 meters in length and 4.9 meters of maximum beam.
The bulwarks are crossed by large black windows, broken in geometries, while the hard-top design elevates the profile, balancing volumes and creating a first large protected convivial area.
Aft, as is now customary on Sunseekers, there is a large hydraulic, submersible aft platform that serves as a beach area and tender lift.
The sundeck is just above the tender garage and alongside is the cockpit with an L-shaped sofa served by a coffee table and a wet bar, a direct continuation of the galley to the main deck in the standard version.
In the bow is a second lounge area.
The fully opening roof transforms the main salon into a very airy space equipped with a sofa and galley (optionally also on the lower deck.
The midship master stateroom takes advantage of the entire 4.9-meter beam, with a double bed, walk-in closet, a private toilet with shower, and ample lounging space around it.
In the bow, however, the second cabin comes to life, a double complete in turn with closet space and an en-suite toilet.
Between the two is a lounge with an L-shaped sofa and table, as well as a small storage cabin for utilities and laundry.
Thrust is provided by two Volvo Penta IPS 950s with which she reaches a maximum speed of 36 knots.

Ranieri Cayman 33.0 Executive
Think of being able to have extra deck space with aft, a double-step hull and outboard to go over 46 knots and wanting to have four beds below deck as well. Not bad, is it? What if we told you that this hull is not a super cabin cruiser, but an inflatable boat, and a watercraft to boot?
And the latest from Ranieri International, and in just 10.2 meters overall it brings together everything a modern boat requires today: performance and comfort.
It can be all open (with integrated folding bimini) or with a hard-top on top for more complete protection, even when sailing.
It is a boat that is true to Ranieri’s 100 percent Mediterranean spirit, to be experienced first and foremost on the outside, on deck, but still does not disappoint below deck (the height at the foot of the ladder is 1.8 meters) and provides shelter for two cabins, one of which, smaller, is also very suitable as a large technical locker and a bathroom.
On board, four people can move quietly without ever bothering each other, and the very enveloping aft settee in the cockpit is served by a wet-bar, positioned behind the wheelhouse.
What’s more, the spectacular Navico dashboard with two Ultrawide allows you to keep an eye on both the nautical chart and engine instrumentation at the same time.
Ranieri Int. then confirms its great attention to detail work, starting with leathers and cushions.
At the propulsion level, the choice is outboards with options ranging from a minimum of 500 horsepower to a maximum of 800, total.
On the side of the outboards, however, double swim platform for easy access or climbing out of the water.
On the range side, there is a 540-liter fuel tank.

Jeanneau Merry Fisher 895
Adventure, sport, fun.
The boats most in vogue today have these among their ingredients.
The new Merry Fisher 895, in series two, goes exactly in this direction.
A multifaceted vessel (just under nine meters long) and designed for young boaters who like to explore.
Pivotal element, then, can only be versatility, and we realize this from the four or five berths available between bunks and saloon on deck.
This is possible because this boat is presented as a cabin cruiser with a central salon.
To maximize the available space, the deck is asymmetrical with passages only to starboard to make the most of every inch.
By shifting the encumbrances to port there is a significant gain in walkable volume although this does limit accessibility to that side somewhat, for example when mooring.
Forward is a large forward lounge with a U-shaped sofa that can be converted into a sundeck, and aft is a cockpit complete with an outdoor galley and sofas at La murata, which can be supplemented with a center table.
Traveling and doing some cruising means needing space.
The central superstructure therefore has a rooftop storage area and is a sheltered space for both cruising and social life (useful on long sailings) with a second galley, wheelhouse and a meal area that can be converted to a berth.
Below deck there is a separate bathroom in the center, a double berth in the bow, and aft, under the salon, there are two more berths, less easily accessible than the bow, given the more limited heights ìIn the standard version, the new 895 Sport (S2) has a pair of outboards of 200 horsepower each, replaceable with two of 250 horsepower, and two tanks with which it reaches 600 liters total.

Fiart P52
Fiart’s P line is enriched with a new, smaller model, P52, which will debut at the Cannes Boat Show.
It shares with its big sister P58 the aesthetic choices and exterior configuration, condensed into a slightly smaller hull.
The focus of the design is still the same: large interior volumes and maximum exterior livability in a line that is both streamlined and elegant.
In this version, namely the P52, the shipyard has created a 16-meter long hull that displaces 21 tons.
It is propelled by a pair of Volvo Penta IPS 800s, which take it to 35 knots maximum speed and 30 knots cruising speed, for 300 miles of range on 1,800 liters of fuel.
The deck is dominated by the windshield, full beam, which protects, along with the hardtop, the entire bridge and living area.
Ample sundecks are found both fore and aft.
The lines, never banal, draw original volumes in the interiors as well, where the rooms and related furnishings are embellished by a clever combination of colors and lights.

Axopar 29
The biggest mistake?
Thinking that the new Axopar 29 is a simple restyling of the old 28, its predecessor, the first boat the Finnish yard launched a decade ago now.
Of course, the Axopar DNA remains, that set of nautical and construction qualities that have made it so successful (just over 1,000 units a year are now made in the production plant in Poland), but it is also its happy reinterpretation, in stylistic and functional terms, that makes this new nine-meter more contemporary and more appealing to the market.
A true adventure boat but tailored to the needs of today’s owners.
Starting point is of course the “classic” Axopar hull, so double step and 22° aft hull angle; in the standard version the boat is powered by two Mercury V6 of 200 hp each.
The Sun-Top layout is the more Mediterranean, open, pure day-cruiser; the Cross Cabin, on the other hand, is what we might call the “purest,” 100% faithful to the Swedish shipyard’s Adventure philosophy.
