At Boot Düsseldorf 2026, the range of MarcoPolo, an all-Italian brand, with hulls made in Sicily by the 3AF shipyard and design by Roberto Delfanti.
The MP10, a 9.96-meter-long vessel, and the MP12, on which we climbed aboard to study it up close, were unveiled at the German fair. Just over 12 meters long and outboard-powered, it can mount up to 3 x 450 hp. The shipyard has announced that the range will expand upward with larger models.
Stylistically, the most noticeable element is definitely the imposing bow that opens like a goblet and has a very rounded double edge. First advantage? Lots of extra space, both walkable and for the sundeck, but it is also an element that makes it recognizable and unmistakable in the market.
In the center is the large central structure that houses the helm station and the living/dining area, which has the double advantage, on the one hand, of being convertible from “all enclosed” to “all open” at a moment’s notice thanks to the movable windows on three sides, and of also being customizable in layout. The model we saw, for example, had the galley counter behind the helm station, but it can also be “American-style,” and thus face the outside cockpit.
Below deck the lay-out is typical of walkarounds of this size, with the main double cabin forward, a second sleeping room aft, smaller but still decidedly habitable, and a large central bathroom with separate shower stall.
The base price, excluding VAT, with three Mercury Verado 350 V10s aft is 450,000 euros.
