For the first time in Australian waters, Eyachts debuted the Greenline NEO Coupe at the annual show.
The unique design hosts 3.3 metres of internal space, can hold 350kg, has seating for up to 12 guests and boasts a high/low platform by J&J brothers made specifically for this model.

Meanwhile, the X50 (part of the revolutionary X series of sports yachts) took prime position at Maritimo’s display at The Sydney International Boat Show.
“This builds on the phenomenal response to the X60, which drew international acclaim in 2018 as one of the most exciting advances in the sport yacht sector thanks to the model’s innovative design features,” Maritimo lead designer Tom Barry-Cotter says.
