MGM Boats Unveils New Prestige Flagship and Models at Boot Düsseldorf

Prestige has set out its product direction for 2026 with three major announcements at boot Düsseldorf.

The update reinforces the brand’s focus on design evolution and onboard living.

At a press conference on 19 January, Prestige confirmed the launch of the new F6.7, now the flagship of its F-Line range.

The model completes a fully structured monohull line-up.

The French builder also revealed the M8 EVO, an evolution of its flagship multihull.

The update reflects owner feedback, with greater layout flexibility and higher levels of customisation.

Irish dealer MGM Boats welcomed the continued investment in the brand.

“MGM Boats are delighted to see the continued investment by Prestige in the new models,” said Gerry Salmon, CEO of MGM Boats.

“The evolution of the brand over the past number of years demonstrates the confidence the market has in the range,” he added.

“It also gives our clients new and exciting models every year.”

About MGM Boats

MGM Boats is one of Ireland's leading boat brokers now operating internationally as well as throughout Ireland. MGM Boats was founded in 1997 by brothers Martin and Gerry Salmon who were previously worked as a carpenter, joiner and glass fibre laminator in the 1980s. Martin progressed to boat retailing in the late 1980s and Gerry was a service manager in the 1990s. From these many years of experience, MGM Boats was founded in 1997. It started out as a service, maintenance and repairs company based in Malahide, Co. Dublin.

The company grew in 1998 when the Aquador dealership was acquired. Starting as they meant to go on, in 2001 MGM became distributors for Jeanneau Motorboats and Yachts and also opened its second office in Belfast. MGM had begun to create what would be an international and acclaimed brokerage company.

In 2003, MGM Boats moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, Co. Dublin. The large office space and yard expanded the service department and paved the way for MGM to acquire the dealership for Sunseeker in Ireland in 2003.

From then, MGM built up its brokerage listings and in 2009 it opened its office in Hamble, UK. This has led to many years of MGM being present at all major UK boat shows, and each year growing their presence and listings.

The success of MGM's brokerage listings spread internationally, leading in 2012 to 2 new offices being opened in the Mediterranean - in Villamoura, Portugal and Mallorca, Spain. The now international brand and team throughout these years received many awards for their enterprising spirit, customer service and international presence, including winning Sunseeker Distributor of the Year in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This also led to a new Irish office being opened in Kinsale, Co. Cork increasing their presence within Ireland as well as abroad.
