At BOOT Düsseldorf, one of the most international boat shows, the Spanish shipyard Level Yachts, based in Costa del Sol, made its official debut by presenting the Level 43 ST, a very innovative luxury long weekender designed to sail the oceans worldwide.
A project that combines family heritage and visionary design
Level Yachts is the result of the passion and ambition of its co-founders, Oswaldo and Bruno Marijuan, both with a long entrepreneurial history in the nautical sector. After leading one of the main motorboat dealers in Spain, they decided to elevate their experience from sales and maintenance to creating their own brand.
"After working on both sides of the Atlantic, we have captured elements from North American and European markets to shape our understanding of what makes a truly exceptional boat. The Level 43 ST embodies this vision, combining heritage and innovation to offer unparalleled experiences at sea," stated Bruno Marijuan.
This vision was brought to life by the English designer Tony Castro, Designer of the Year 2022, who designed the Level 43 ST, the first model in the Level Yachts range. "The Level 43 ST represents a perfect synthesis of innovation and tradition. We wanted to create a boat that not only meets the expectations of boaters worldwide but exceeds them, offering style, space, and comfort that redefine the concept of a weekender," said Tony Castro.
With the Level 43 ST, Level Yachts aims to become a protagonist in the international nautical scene, bringing a breath of fresh air and innovation to the industry.

Outdoor spaces: living the sea in the Mediterranean tradition
The deck layout of the Level 43 ST is meticulously designed, recognizing that the heart of the anchorage experience lies closest to the water. A hydraulic platform aft provides direct access to the sea, while an electrically operated garage can hold a tender up to 2.20 meters. The motor compartment hatch, also electrically operated, ensures convenient and safe access for maintenance.
The fold-down bulwarks, among the largest in the category, extend the boat's beam to that of an 80-foot yacht, creating ample spaces ideal for relaxation and socializing by the sea. A large sunbathing area with sofas and two convertible tables into a single large table offers a versatile area for socializing.
The most comprehensive galley in its class includes a sink, induction hob, 5 refrigerators, and an ice maker, while a premium integrated audio system in the t-top offers a high-level sound experience. "A unique feature is the largest retractable outdoor TV in its class (55 inches), perfectly integrated into the bar unit, creating a true open-air cinema area for up to 10 people."
During navigation, comfort is ensured by 4 console seats sheltered by a closed glass window, providing complete visibility of the horizon and a layout that allows up to 14 people to sit comfortably facing the sea. Forward, the walkaround design leads seamlessly to a spacious sunbathing area with reclining backrests and a double sofa with a table, offering the opportunity to fully utilize all spaces at any time of the day.
Luxurious interiors for an unforgettable weekend
The interiors of the Level 43 ST offer a perfect mix of timeless elegance and flexibility, thanks to an exclusive selection of light and bright woods, with organic textures that evoke a sense of naturalness and modernity and can be enriched with a semi-gloss or mirrored finish to give the spaces a more contemporary and sophisticated charm.
The full-beam owner's cabin, with a height of over 2 meters, offers an open-plan layout and is available in both open and closed versions, featuring a 150x200 double bed and a lounge area that can be transformed into a second bed.
The guest cabin, with its generous dimensions, is available in three different options: two single beds, a double bed with a sofa bed, or a bare cabin, ideal for ample storage space.
The internal kitchen is fully equipped for a self-sufficient stay, with a refrigerator, microwave, and intelligent storage space for long stays. The separate bathroom, with a spacious walk-in shower, is designed to ensure maximum comfort. "Every detail has been designed to transform the Level 43 ST into a second home at sea."
Outstanding performance and intuitive navigation
With its Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, the Level 43 ST offers a smooth and responsive navigation experience, ensuring sporty performance without compromising fuel efficiency. The control console, equipped with two large Simrad multifunction screens, integrates the most advanced technologies for boat management, making the Level 43 ST easy to handle even for less experienced crews.
During sea trials with full tanks, the Level 43 effortlessly reached an impressive speed of 39 knots. Despite challenging sea and wind conditions, the boat offered extraordinary comfort, demonstrating its excellent performance and seafaring qualities.
