A new wave of Italian innovation is on the horizon. MARCOPOLO Adventure Yachts prepares to debut at boot Düsseldorf 2026, redefining the essence of cruising with bold design, technical mastery, and a spirit of pure exploration.
The Italian yachting world welcomes a new name: MARCOPOLO Adventure Yachts, a brand born from passion, experience, and the desire to rediscover authentic cruising. Founded by Rosario Alcaro, MARCOPOLO combines Italian elegance with technical precision, creating adventure-ready yachts that embody freedom and refined design.
The brand’s first models — the MP10 and MP12, measuring 10 and 12 meters — are already in their final construction phase and will make their world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2026 (January 17–25). Built in collaboration with 3AF Shipyard in Villafranca Tirrena, near Messina, and designed by Roberto Delfanti of Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, these vessels blend practicality with a contemporary, almost military-inspired aesthetic.
“Boats today often look like floating villas,” says Rosario Alcaro. “With MARCOPOLO, we wanted to return to the thrill of exploration — the excitement of the open sea — without losing the sophistication of Italian design.”
The MP10 and MP12 are technical and seaworthy yachts, engineered for performance and safety in all conditions. Featuring stepped hulls for agility and stability, fold-down bulwarks to extend space, and a layout that maximizes livability, they balance adventure with comfort. Both open and cruiser versions will be available, targeting global markets from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe and the U.S.
Inside, MARCOPOLO reveals a warm, elegant atmosphere marked by fine materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and clever transformable solutions. State-of-the-art construction techniques bring innovation to every detail, from resins to woodwork and upholstery — a testament to Italian ingenuity and modern boatbuilding.
With MARCOPOLO Adventure Yachts, a new vision of navigation takes shape — one where design, performance, and passion for the sea come together in perfect harmony.
