Boot Düsseldorf 2026 has come to a close, once again confirming its position as the world’s leading indoor boat show and a key meeting point for the international boating industry. Soproyachts attended the show throughout the event, meeting clients, partners, and shipyards, and supporting visitors interested in discovering the latest developments from the brands we represent.
This year’s edition delivered an exceptional mix of world premieres, major product updates, and important brand milestones. Below is a summary of the key highlights from the brands we represent.
Beneteau Sail: Performance, Heritage and New Opportunities
Boot Düsseldorf 2026 was a particularly strong show for Beneteau. One of the key highlights was the presentation of the First 60, the largest yacht ever built in the First range.
Designed for sailors who value precision at the helm and a direct connection with the elements, the First 60 features sleek exterior lines by Lorenzo Argento, intuitive sailing systems, and clearly defined cockpit zones for sailing, dining, and relaxation. Below deck, the yacht offers a spacious, light-filled interior with a full-beam galley and a standout owner’s cabin with a forward-facing bed.
Visitors to the Beneteau stand also explored several important models across the performance and cruising ranges, including:
-
First 30, crowned European Yacht of the Year 2026 in the Performance Cruiser (Performance Monohull) category
-
First 36 SE, reinforcing Beneteau’s commitment to accessible, high-performance sailing
-
Oceanis 37.1, Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52, and Oceanis Yacht 54, showcasing the breadth and evolution of the Oceanis cruising range
Beneteau also marked 40 years of the Oceanis range. To celebrate the anniversary, the brand unveiled the Oceanis 40th Anniversary – Icon Edition Special Offer, launched at the show. This limited-time offer remains available until 27 February 2026, allowing clients who could not attend Boot Düsseldorf to still benefit.
