Contest Yachts

Three generations of yachting innovation... and two new models for 2023! At Contest Yachts, Europe's leading luxury performance bluewater sailing yacht constructor and one of the longest-running participants at this exhibition, we're delighted to be back at the Dusseldorf Boat Show 2023 with the joint world-premiere of two brand-new yachts, the aft cockpit Contest 49CS and centre cockpit Contest 50CS. Two extraordinary fifty-footers presenting distinctly different formats for personalised family-and-friends performance bluewater sailing. And they are not to be missed. The 49CS is the first twin aft cabin Contest at this length and both the 49CS and 50CS are Contest's first yachts with the option of all-electric propulsion, uniquely engineered with a completely new Torqeedo and BMW based system delivering true bluewater range.
