Ancasta will be at the top of wish lists for visitors at the London Boat Show who want to see a range of brand new powerboats and sailing yachts on display for the first time.

Brand new at London and hot from its international debut at the Barcelona Boat Show will be the Rodman Muse 54 luxury sports-flybridge cruiser. Offering the first public viewing since Barcelona this boat is creating worldwide excitement.

The Muse 54 is the first in a dynamic new range from Italian wizard Fulvio de Simoni, with the Muse 74 next in line for launch in June 2007. Both boats feature a radical new design, combining elegance, style and progressive technology, together with Rodman's core principles of high quality manufacture, safety, comfort and outstanding sea-handling characteristics.

The distinctive exterior styling of trademark triple windows in the superstructure allows maximum natural lighting into the main saloon. The Muse 54's inner floorplan below decks has a full-beam owners cabin, brightly lit from signature Crescent portlights, with ensuite bathroom, starboard twin guest cabin, forward VIP double cabin and guest bathroom. The saloon deck houses a dinette area, fully-equipped galley and U-shaped living area. A comprehensive helm station is located forward to starboard, with repeated flybridge controls for a commanding view. The Muse 54 is available with Caterpillar and Volvo diesel engine options, reaching a maximum speed of 33 knots with the largest power plants, and a comfortable cruise at 27 knots.

New from Bavaria, there is the first opportunity to see the Bavaria 30. Its first appearance in the UK, this model will appeal to British buyers in terms of its size, well appointed interior and overall eye-catching looks. Evolving from the highly successful 29 Sport, Bavaria has designed a more spacious and stylish interior for four persons. The sociable cockpit layout provides a great forward seating area, a superb sunpad and vast storage area for dinghies.

New from Bnteau is the eagerly awaited Ocanis 43, which sits neatly between the admired Ocanis 40 and Ocanis 46, which are also on display at the show. The Ocanis 43, unique in its own right, features a slick design. Its strong common exterior identity allows this four-boat range with the Berret Racoupeau hallmark to establish its modern and elegant style amongst yachts of between 40 and 50 feet.

The interior designed by the Italian Nauta Design office comes in two accommodation layouts of two and three cabins including two head compartments with screened showers. Taking key qualities from the Ocanis 40, the accommodation of this voluminous 43-footer brings all the comforts expected from a sailing yacht with blue water cruising ambitions. Everything has been thought of to make the Ocanis 43 a balanced, seaworthy and durable performance cruiser in the Bnteau sailing yacht tradition.

In addition to this exciting range of new boats, Ancasta will be displaying details of hundreds of brokerage boats, with the company's qualified and trained brokers on hand to offer expert buying and selling advice. With two stands, one in the North Hall N058 and one in the South Hall S312, Ancasta can provide visitors with the widest choice whether buying a first boat, or selling a currently owned one.
