Honda Marine Europe and its key boatbuilder partners will join forces to showcase their optimised pre-paired boat-engine configurations for the new season at this year’s boot Düsseldorf.
Bringing enhanced experiences and added value to boat owners, the complete packages set new standards in technology integration, quality and craftsmanship by perfectly matching Honda Marine outboard engines with each leading boat brand.
The special Honda Marine collaborations with Italian boat manufacturers BMA, and Joker Boat, Turkish manufacturer Northstar Boats, and Greece-based shipyard Protagon Yachts will take centre stage on Stand C70, Hall 3.
Honda-powered boats on display include:
BMA X266: Powered by twin Honda Marine BF150 outboards, the elegant, modern X266 is 8.20m in length, with a beam of 2.55m.
Founder of BMA boats, William Breventani said: “The X266 represents the core values of BMA engineering: advanced technology, a modern and efficient hull designed for performance and safety along the boat’s entire length, combined with clean and functional deck layouts. Versatile by nature, its different configurations support multiple ways of experiencing the sea, for holidays, leisure, or fishing, reflecting a modern approach to boating.”
Joker Boat Clubman 24: The Clubman 24 is 6.99m in length, with a beam of 2.99m, and is powered by a single Honda Marine V6 BF250.
Founder of Joker Boat, Domenico Aiello said: “The Clubman 24 is an elegant and versatile leisure RIB, designed for those who want to enjoy the sea with comfort and ease. Its generous deck spaces comfortably accommodate up to six people, yet can host many more, making it ideal also as a tender or water taxi. Easy to store and manoeuvre, it delivers its best performance with the new 250-horsepower Honda engine, ensuring responsiveness, reliability, and pure enjoyment on the water.”
Northstar Orion 8: The Orion 8 is paired with a single Honda Marine V8 BF350 outboard. It has a length of 7.92m and a beam of 2.83m.
Export Sales and Marketing Specialist at Northstar Boats, Zeynep Karapinar said: “Performance comes first on the Orion 8 - without sacrificing comfort. Designed by Adam Younger, its advanced stepped hull delivers a smooth ride with exceptional handling even in challenging conditions. A deep, secure deck, generous seating, table, sunbathing area, and enclosed head create a relaxed space for day cruising. With Honda’s flagship V8 BF350 outboard complementing its stepped hull, Orion 8 delivers refined power and a comfortable, safe riding experience.”
Protagon 20: Powered by a single Honda Marine BF150 outboard, the Protagon 20 is 5.95m, with a beam of 2.3m.
CEO of Protagon Yachts, Nikos Biskinis said: “At the heart of the Protagon 20 combined with a Honda BF150 is its exceptional combination. With a deadrise of 24 degrees, twin steps, and a wave-piercing bow, this boat effortlessly slices through the water, ensuring a smooth and stable ride even in challenging sea conditions. The deck of the Protagon 20 is thoughtfully designed to maximize every inch of space. The layout offers ample room for passengers to move freely, ensuring comfort and convenience.”
Thomas Becker, Country Section Manager for Germany and Benelux, Honda Marine Europe, said: “Through these successful partnerships, boat owners can benefit from customised turnkey boat-and-engine solutions crafted to meet their needs, combining the reliability and performance of Honda engines with boats built by shipyards with a reputation for excellence and expertise.
“Visitors to the stand will see first-hand how our boatbuilder partnerships can enhance their experience onboard with the ultimate boat-engine solutions.
“We are also looking forward to showcasing the latest Honda Marine outboards to the boot Düsseldorf audience. Our new and enhanced lineup reinforces our mission to deliver uncompromising performance while inspiring the lifestyle and exhilaration of life on the water.”
The new V6 200-250hp and 4-cylinder 115-150hp engines are designed for power, efficiency, and ease of use, will be debuted alongside the new Sporty White V8 BF350 engine, offering a sleek look for Honda Marine’s most technologically advanced outboard.
Honda Marine’s comprehensive portfolio of outboards, spanning 2.3 to 350hp, provides a springboard for strengthened collaborations with boatbuilders.
The stand will also feature several of Honda Marine’s key German partner dealers, including Atlantic Marine Germany, Bootcenter B1, Boote Hock, Marine Sales, Pieper Bootdepot, Rajo-Boote and Der Wassersportladen.
Representatives from across Honda Marine’s main European branches will support the company’s attendance throughout the show.
