Whittley concept to make public debut at 2025 Melbourne Boat Show

The largest Whittley ever produced, and on track for an official launch before the end of the year

Whittley Marine Group will unveil an all-new concept model at the 2025 Melbourne Boat Show, which begins on October 16 in the city’s Docklands precinct.

It will be the first chance for the public to see the new model as it approaches completion ahead of an official launch in late 2025.

The concept, developed at a cost of $3.5 million over four years, will morph into the largest Whittley model ever manufactured – “bolder, smarter and more future ready than anything produced before it”, according to Brock Cohen, Whittley Boating Centre Dealership General Manager.

The interior of the concept, for the first time, features a high-quality spring mattress for a permanent front cabin bed – a luxury previously unseen in a trailer boat.

Accompanying the new bed arrangements are two side windows, enabling extra light to enter the front cabin and providing visibility through to the outside. The toilet and shower area is also larger in size than the previous model, and a larger galley area is provided in the boat’s cooking area.

Other features include a lithium-ion battery electrical system, larger fuel and water tanks, and the removal of traditional walk-around side decks for more usable space inside the saloon and cockpit area.

Users will be able to access the front deck via the mid-cabin saloon, a feature previously only seen in much larger boats. Inside the saloon and mid cockpit area is a series of steps that enable direct access up and through the windscreen opening, providing a uniquely designed companionway on the port side of the boat.

The concept has been designed around either a single or twin Honda outboard engine configuration, which enables a larger sliding rear mega lounge to maximise usable swim platform space. The rear entertaining area also features the option for an electric barbecue grill, complementing the standard sliding rear lockable cabin door.

Overall length is 10m and is under the maximum towing width of 2.5m for Australian roads. It can be towed by vehicles with a 4.5-tonne tow capacity rating.

The Whittley Boating Centre Melbourne is located at stand numbers: 20/21 & 22 at the 2025 Melbourne Boat Show at Docklands, where the concept will be displayed alongside other fibreglass and aluminium models in the Whittley range and Honda Marine engines.
