31 January 2025 - 7:00AM
Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC), the world’s largest marine
technology company and many of its award-winning brands, have
reported record performance at several of the major early-season
trade and boat shows.
The recent Dusseldorf Boat Show, the largest indoor boat show
globally, attracted more than 200,000 attendees and proved to be a
record-breaking event for Brunswick. Notable highlights from
Dusseldorf included:
- Sea Ray Boats
achieved record unit sales at the event, surpassing last year’s
record by more than 20 percent. Sea Ray also hosted the EMEA launch
of the all-new SDX 270 Surf, which was well-received by attendees
and channel partners.
- Quicksilver
Boats set a record for retail units sold in Dusseldorf,
tripling sales versus the 2024 event.
- Navan
continues to be well-received by European consumers selling a
number of boats in Dusseldorf with strong interest from EMEA
dealers.
- Mercury
Marine continues to be the clear outboard engine share leader
in Europe with 55 percent share of outboards across the show and
close to 70 percent share of outboards 150hp and above (both
representing an increase of seven basis points versus 2024). All
flagship and new boats of seven meters and above were equipped with
Mercury outboards.
- Navico Group
experienced a successful show with more than 80 percent of boats on
display in Dusseldorf featuring Navico Group technology.
Additionally, Navico Group’s Fathom system and CZone Mobile were
featured by an EMEA boatbuilder for the first time.
- Boston Whaler,
Bayliner, Flite, Lankhorst Taselaar and Freedom Boat Club also
had a strong presence in Dusseldorf with new product launches and
increased engagement.
“Our success at boot Dusseldorf in 2025 underscores the
enthusiasm for our brands and products worldwide,” stated Dave
Foulkes, CEO of Brunswick Corporation. “Major shows like Dusseldorf
provide us with the opportunity to demonstrate the strength of
Brunswick’s marine portfolio, our unwavering commitment to
advancing on-water experiences, and the dedication and hard work of
our exceptional teams and dealer network.”
Brunswick's early successes in 2025 extend beyond Dusseldorf.
Mercury Marine continues to grow its outboard share across North
America, as evidenced by its performance at three of the largest
early-season trade shows: New York, Minneapolis, and Toronto. In
New York, Mercury accounted for nearly 50% of the outboards on
display, while in Minneapolis and Toronto Mercury engines were on
48% and 45% of outboard-powered boats, respectively. For Toronto
this amounted to a rise of almost seven basis points versus the
2024 event.
