Italian adventure yacht brand Marcopolo is preparing to debut its first models, the MP10 and MP12, at boot Düsseldorf 2026, taking place from January 17 to 25, 2026.
The new 10 and 12-metre yachts are currently in the final stages of construction at the 3AF shipyard in Sicily.
Built to a design process led by Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, Marcopolo’s inaugural models feature a distinctive military-inspired aesthetic. Delfanti explains: “These are technical boats, highly organised, focused on onboard comfort and… with a stylish touch.”
The hulls are engineered to handle diverse sea conditions, while the interior and deck layouts maximise livable space. Transformable solutions, fold-down bulwarks, and considered ergonomics ensure versatility. Both open and cruiser variations will be available, which are powered by outboard engines.
“The design phase began with an in-depth analysis of the hull developed in collaboration with our technical office, defining highly profiled geometry with steps.
“We then focused on onboard livability, ensuring maximum interior comfort and exterior safety, achieving volumes typical of larger boats. For instance, the deck widens toward the bow, while at the stern we have introduced fold-down bulwarks to expand the space,” adds Delfanti.
boot Düsseldorf is a pivotal show for the leisure marine industry. In 2025, the event welcomed many premieres and enabled brands to strategise and network. The 2026 edition will run 17-25 January.
The MP10 and MP12 models combine advanced resin, upholstery and woodwork techniques with hallmark Italian style and are designed for worldwide markets, including inland waters.
Marcopolo’s founder, Rosario Alcaro, comments: “I’m thrilled to embark on this new adventure, together with designer Roberto Delfanti and 3AF Shipyard in Villafranca Tirrena, near Messina.
“We have combined my experience with that of specialised shipyard professionals and young talent, in a spirit of innovation and renewal. At a time when boats often resemble floating villas, Marcopolo aims to rediscover the true essence of cruising, the thrill of adventure and exploration, while staying true to the aesthetic excellence of Italian design.”
