The Boot in Düsseldorf has always been the ideal showcase for seeing boats that are rare to encounter here at home: lots of volume and Nordic style, very domestic, very functional. You know the classic walkaround daycruiser, the most popular type of boat currently? Here, they are almost the opposite.
Among their strengths are:
– the large volumes available
– an absolute continuity between the interior spaces in the central hall and those on deck
– the ability to spend long periods on board in comfort
– a great propulsive efficiency
– lay out of easily livable interior and deck
– simplicity of conduct
– often adopt solar panels
– Have transformable modular fittings
We put under the lens 5 “House Boat” novelties of 2025
Cobra Campione 41 Fly, built in Poland and designed by Italy’s Ferragni Progetti, is just under 13 meters long and has truly boundless spaces. Greenline 40 Hybrid, an elegant 13-meter produced in Slovenia, designed by J&J Design and featuring a sophisticated hybrid propulsion system.
Marex 440 Scandinavia, Norwegian shipyard, built in Estonia. Solid, Nordic-style boat but with a stern-deck area also ideal for use in the Mediterranean. Northman Trawler 1300, boundless cockpit, modular and transformable fittings, and a “hidden” fly accessed from the bow.
Beneteau Island Cruising Boat was, finally, the most eagerly awaited of the novelties in the “house boat” world. Everything takes place at main deck level, boundless and with no separation between inside and outside. On the lower deck four cabins and four bathrooms. For charter, but not only.
