As Quicksilver Boat Dealers, we’re proud to celebrate a major milestone in 2026, Quicksilver Boats turns 40. Four decades of innovation, award-winning design, and industry leadership have cemented Quicksilver as one of Europe’s most recognised and accessible recreational boating brands. 

Today, Quicksilver stands as a benchmark for quality and value, offering a versatile lineup of 16 models across five distinct series: Open, Sundeck, Cruiser, Weekend, and Cabin. Backed by a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Portugal and a global network of more than 300 dealers and distributors across 70 countries, the brand continues to make boating more attainable for everyone. Its commitment to excellence has been recognised through multiple international awards, including European Powerboat of the Year and Best of Boats. 

Since its founding in 1986, when it began producing inflatable boats in Europe, Quicksilver has consistently evolved to meet the needs of modern boaters. Over the years, it has grown into a full-range manufacturer known for blending intuitive design, quality craftsmanship, and practical innovation.

Quicksilver’s philosophy has always centred on simplifying the boating experience. From smart layouts to transparent pricing, every model is designed to remove complexity and enhance enjoyment, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers and seasoned boaters alike. 

The 40th anniversary celebrations were brought to life at boot Düsseldorf 2026, where visitors had the chance to explore the latest models, meet product experts, and get a glimpse of what’s next for the brand.

Alexis Fléchier, Sales Director for Quicksilver Boats, summed it up perfectly:

“Celebrating 40 years at boot Düsseldorf is a proud moment for Quicksilver. Our success has always been rooted in innovation, passion, and trust from our customers. This anniversary is not just about where we’ve been, but where we’re going.”

As Quicksilver enters its fifth decade, the focus remains firmly on the future. With new product lines, continued innovation, and a commitment to delivering exceptional value, the brand is set to remain a leading force in recreational boating for years to come.

At Avon Marina Christchurch, as Quicksilver Dealers, we’re excited to be part of this journey, helping more people discover the freedom, fun, and adventure that life on the water brings with Quicksilver.
