We are now very close to the start of the Venice Boat Show 2025 (May 29-June 02) which is shaping up to be a beautiful edition loaded with news on the water. In fact, there are many shipyards returning or even debuting at the 2025 edition of the fast-growing event. We have selected 5 new boats up to 12 meters not to be missed at the upcoming show.
The Venice Boat Show takes place at the Venice Arsenal The 2025 edition will run from Thursday, May 29 to Monday, June 2, 2025 with daily admission hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (last admission 7 p.m.), special opening on Saturday, May 31 until 10 p.m. (last admission 7 p.m.).

The 740 Mirage Air as always, but with Evoy’s Norwegian electric motors. With a length of 7.47 m for a beam of 2.50 m, it is all about external livability, of course. In the bow is a bowrider with a two symmetrical settees halfway between a sundeck and a chaise-longue.
The real news is about what’s under the hood, pardon me, the sundeck. The new engine is Evoy’s 120-hp inboard Breeze inline engine, which stands out from the stern foot of the similar thermal version. The special feature of the Evoy is its compatibility with high-speed DC charging, with 10% to 80% charging in less than an hour. The price of this version of the Frauscher 740 Mirage Air starts at €329,325 excluding VAT.

One of the most interesting boats even in 2025. It is the heir to the legendary Axopar 28, the first and ingenious example of the Finnish brand Axopar’s adventure boat. On this new 29 there are all the improvements and latest technologies that the revelation yard of the last decade has learned from the thousands of owners it already has around the world.
At the Venice Boat Show it will be possible to see it up close. We told you in this video about the two different versions: open and cabin, one or two engines. Which one is the right one for you? You just have to see it live. How much does it cost? To give you an idea, an off-the-shelf cab version costs 233,000 euros including vat.

As we await the debut of the 48 Cabin, flagship of Apreamare’s range of gozzo boats, let’s enjoy a little more of the first of the new generation.

It will be at the Venice Boat Show and is an 11.45-meter cabin cruiser that, although strong with a variable geometry hull and 30 knots of speed, doesn’t lose that style and lines that have made the gozzo great all along our coastal strip, and beyond. A stylish way to go cruising.
