MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS will make its international debut at boot Düsseldorf 2026, unveiling its first two models: the MP10 and MP12. The new brand, shaped by the experience of Rosario Alcaro and the design expertise of the Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, introduces a range that combines contemporary aesthetics, advanced technology and a strong spirit of exploration. Presented in a world premiere in both dayboat and cruiser versions, the two models will be showcased at the German boat show, running from 17 to 25 January. MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS will be located in Hall 4, Stand B60, where the MP10 will appear in its dayboat configuration and the MP12 in its cruiser layout, underscoring the dual identity of the new brand.
“A clean, functional aesthetic makes MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS perfectly suited in both open and cruiser configurations. Their versatility stems from multiple configuration options and a hull engineered to perform in all sea conditions,” explains Rosario Alcaro.
“MARCOPOLO sets itself apart by appealing to different boating styles and markets, thanks to layouts that can evolve from open to cruiser through a simple configuration change, even years after purchase. These yachts are safe, technologically advanced and high-performance, designed for both adventurous owners and demanding families,” adds Rosario Alcaro.
From MP10 to MP12: Two Models, Two Distinct Characters
They could have been almost identical, given that they differ by only two metres in length, but the two MARCOPOLO models display fundamentally different characteristics, further emphasised by the configurations selected for their Düsseldorf debut. The MP10 is an asymmetrical walkaround open model, favouring the port-side passageway and featuring a substantial hardtop that shelters both the helm station and the galley module. The MP12, presented in a cruiser layout, offers an interior arrangement including a second lounge, a galley module and the helm station.
Both yachts are powered by robust outboard engines, chosen specifically for the MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS range to boost performance, agility, and ease of handling. The MP12 can be fitted with up to three 450 hp engines, while the MP10 can carry a maximum of two 450 hp outboards. At Düsseldorf, the MP12 will be showcased with three 400 hp engines, and the MP10 with a pair of 300 hp outboards. Both models feature fold-down bulwarks that expand the aft deck, together with a distinctive and practical structure surrounding the outboard area, topped by a robust rollbar with integrated safety gates protecting the swim platforms.
The MP12’s larger dimensions (12.70 m LOA, 4.05 m beam) allow for a configurable aft open space, featuring a generous sunpad whose foldable backrest can be positioned facing the welcoming dinette, where two extendable tables allow for a substantial number of guests. The more compact MP10 (9.96 m LOA, 3.05 m beam) offers a dinette with a sofa whose backrest can both tilt and fold down, serving either as seating for the table or convertible into a sunpad. Below deck, the MP12 offers a versatile layout. It includes a configurable dinette area, a forward double berth with two large wardrobes, a bathroom with separate shower, and two aft single berths. The MP10 also offers excellent habitability for its size, with a forward dinette optionally fitted with a sofa-bed, an aft double berth, all complemented by a spacious bathroom with shower. Two comfortable side decks provide easy access to the MP12’s foredeck, thoughtfully laid out with a large sunpad and two seats that convert it into a welcoming relaxation area. The MP10 features a generous forward sunpad.
“The flared bow, reminiscent in many respects of military craft, is a stylistic feature that positively enhances onboard space, creating an unexpectedly open and welcoming area at the foredeck,” explains Roberto Delfanti.
Exclusive Materials and Refined Colours
Both MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS are characterized, from a color and décor perspective, by light, airy tones below deck, while the hull and deck are finished in Steel Grey, highlighted by a wide black band along the hull. “The combination of Steel Grey with a Total White hardtop creates a distinctive signature for the range,” emphasizes Roberto Delfanti.
The yachts’ upholstery uses Space Shell, an innovative material from aerospace and motorsport. Its ability to limit heat transfer makes it ideal for high-contact areas like sunpads and seating. Interiors are trimmed in Dinamica, a technical, automotive-derived fabric valued for its lightness, durability, and soft touch.
Robustness, Reliability and Performance
The hulls, developed using advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), ensure stability and balance even at high speeds: the MP10 features a hull with two steps, while the MP12 incorporates three.
Construction at 3AF Shipyard uses high-quality fiberglass layers to ensure structural and mechanical strength without compromising overall lightness. On the MP12, carbon fibre is also used in the uprights and hardtop, further optimizing the balance between weight and strength.
Both models reflect the brand’s focus on sustainability and efficiency, replacing traditional materials with next-generation composites. The hull structures are built from recycled PET, a thermoplastic that combines lightness, strength and reduced environmental impact. Bulkheads and selected furniture components use honeycomb polypropylene, a high-tech material derived from aerospace and automotive sectors. Its cellular structure provides both rigidity and flexibility, enhancing comfort and reducing overall weight.
Every detail, from materials to hull geometry, results from precise 3D analysis of weight distribution and structural loads. The goal is to achieve the perfect balance of strength, efficiency and lightness, the core DNA of MARCOPOLO ADVENTURE YACHTS.
