You’ve probably already peeked at it at the Genoa 2025 Boat Show if you stopped by our booth, but now it’s available for everyone on newsstands and digitally. It is the October-November issue of Barche a Motore. Of reasons not to miss it, as always, there are plenty. Particularly this time, where there is a very special feature: the shipyard bible of more than 70 big names in the boating industry, the main brands from A to Z with a sketch and the models in the range. Just this? Of course not!

Sicily, where summer never ends…
To enjoy a boating vacation that routes between beautiful and spectacular coastlines and bays and natural and artistic uniqueness unparalleled in the world, there is no need to escape to the tropics. Between Sicily and its magnificent islands, the weather is perfect for cracking cruises in early fall. From page 100
