Cockwells’ Duchy 35 Debuts at Düsseldorf Boat Show
14 January 2025

Cockwells’ award-winning Duchy 35 will make her European debut at Boot Düsseldorf between 18 and 26 January 2025, where she can be viewed by prospective clients at Stand A30 in Hall 1. 

With more than 70 Duchy Motor Launches having been sold to date, the Duchy 35 combines classic styling with modern luxury, and continues to increase in popularity with every year that passes. 

On display at the prestigious German boat show will be a single master cabin model; an 11.5m classically crafted motor launch that offers the perfect environment in which to enjoy an on-the-water lifestyle in understated elegance. With a galley down below, a spacious cockpit and an expansive, airy saloon – complete with ample seating, drinks refrigerator and sunroof – the vessel provides plenty of space for socialising and relaxing, whatever the weather. Suitable for up to ten day guests or as a luxurious weekend berth for two, the Duchy 35 is the perfect cruising yacht, which also offers the additional flexibility of a twin cabin layout.

The Cockwells’ team will also be on hand to share information about exciting new products on the horizon as well as the latest boats in build, including the Hardy 45 European and the Duchy 35’s sister vessels, the Duchy 25 and Duchy 45.

Described as the dynamic smaller sister of the Duchy Motor Launches range, the Duchy 25 combines a timeless aesthetic with the ultimate in versatility. Equipped with a practical outboard engine and weighing just 2.5 tonnes, the Duchy 25 can be towed via road trailer to favourite destinations with ease.

The Duchy 45 preserves the classic lines and polished finish that are synonymous with the Duchy Motor Launches brand and offers a spacious and stylish setting for friends and family to enjoy. From the expansive saloon and full-standing headroom to the super king-size master cabin with en-suite heads, this larger model features more space in all areas of the craft than any other Duchy that Cockwells has built to date.

The all-new Hardy 45 European delivers exceptional performance across diverse marine environments. Whether navigating inland waterways or cruising offshore at up to 28 knots, this ergonomic model offers personal space and practical features for every adventure. This model is the latest Hardy to be built following the success of the Category A sea-faring Hardy 50DS, which has been recently shortlisted in the Best Passagemakers of the Year category of Motor Boat & Yachting magazine’s 2025 Motor Boat Awards. 

The company’s multilingual after-sales experts and international partners ensure a lifetime of support for its boats, anywhere in the world. A detailed owner’s manual and a personal handover day with its After Sales team guarantees familiarity with all features and handling, both in a marina and out on open water.

Beyond this, Cockwells offers tailored After Sales services including remote monitoring, surveys, seasonal care packages and invitations to boat show receptions and its annual Owners’ Rally.

“When you commission a boat from Cockwells, we work with you at every step of the way to create a vessel of exceptional quality and superior performance,” comments Cockwells’ Customer Service Manager, Alice Préat. “Whatever your requirements, we can design and build your craft to meet your desired specification and we will guide you not only through the entire process, but also stay with you throughout the boat’s lifetime to ensure you maximise your time on the water and enjoy a seamless owner’s experience.
