E xactly one year after its first international appearance at boot Düsseldorf 2025, AIATA returns to the world’s most influential indoor boat show with a decisive expansion of its range. Two new models – the Sunfinder 50 and the Sunfinder 38 – will make their world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2026, signalling a clear step forward in the shipyard’s roadmap: broader offering, stronger positioning, and measured diversification without breaking its design language.
Both boats continue the collaboration with Finnish designer Jarkko Jämsén (Navia Design), whose Scandinavian approach has helped define AIATA’s identity: clean exterior lines, rational use of space, and practical ergonomics that support real-world boating. Maintaining this continuity gives the brand cohesion even as the range grows.
The Sunfinder 50 becomes the new high-point of the line: a fast, spacious family-oriented yacht that builds on the all-round versatility introduced with the Wayfinder 38. It offers expanded deck areas, a larger aft platform, improved materials and finishes, an optional extra cabin for extended cruising, and upgraded practicality through a separate bathroom and toilet. Signature AIATA elements remain – the front deck sunbed, the shaded wetbar under the roof, and the smart use of space above the engines through a tiltable sunpad.
By contrast, the Sunfinder 38 is conceived around maximised open-deck living. It acts as a flexible “gateway model” into the Sunfinder family, designed for leisure cruising, social gatherings and family outings. The 38 prioritises simplicity and everyday usability, expressing a lifestyle identity rather than a constrained category: open layouts, adaptable spaces and a focus on freedom on the water. It also signals the brand’s intent to tailor configurations to specific usage profiles across the wider Sunfinder range.
Beyond the products, AIATA’s return to boot demonstrates industrial and financial momentum. Backed by the Anadolu Group, the shipyard frames these launches as proof of strategic investment converting into tangible product development, supported by a blend of Scandinavian design leadership and Mediterranean production know-how.
boot Düsseldorf will host AIATA from 17 to 25 January 2026.
