Dun Laoghaire Harbour's MGM Boats, the Irish Prestige agents, were on the world stage when they unveiled two new models— the F4.3 and the M7— at Boot Düsseldorf 2025 this week, capturing the attention of the international boating community. The event in Germany showcased these latest offerings, marking significant milestones in the brand's growth.

Brand director Jean-Francois Lair provided a comprehensive overview of the company’s achievements over the past year, including the milestone of 5,000 Prestige models produced. He introduced the F4.3 as a World Premiere, emphasising its potential to enhance the current lineup of motorboats available to customers.

Gerry Salmon of MGM noted that the first F4.3, measuring 43 feet, is expected to arrive in Ireland later this year. "The new F4.3 will be a fantastic addition to our current range," Salmon stated, highlighting the boat's adaptable features suited for various climates alongside the established Prestige hull design that has gained popularity among customers.

During the launch event, international press representatives were given insights into the F4.3's main features through presentations and onboard tours, allowing them to experience its innovative layout and premium finishes firsthand. Additionally, Salmon mentioned that the new F4.9 model, which debuted at Cannes 2023, is also set to arrive in Ireland in May.

M7 Multihull 

The M7 model, a newcomer to Prestige’s range, will enhance the company’s presence in the multihull motor yacht segment. With a length of 58 feet and approximately 200 square meters of living space, the M7 aims to offer a level of comfort and usability comparable to that of a 75-foot monohull motor yacht.

Designed by Garroni Design Studio, the M7 emphasizes flexibility and ease of movement onboard, fostering a connection with the marine environment. It features four staterooms with ensuite bathrooms, including a spacious owner suite at the bow. The model promises to elevate the interior atmosphere and material quality, providing owners with a unique sensory experience.

With these new launches, MGM Boats aims to capture the interest of both existing and potential clients, reinforcing the Prestige brand’s commitment to innovation and quality in the luxury boating market.
