Aiata, the latest entrant into the boating industry, is thrilled to announce its participation in Boot Düsseldorf 2025, one of the world's premier boat and water sports exhibitions.

Marking its global debut, Aiata will showcase its first yacht model, the Wayfinder 38 in 3 different configurations. Wayfinder 38 is an outboard walkaround that stands for flexibility, comfort and craftsmanship.

Aiata, an innovative new player in the boating industry and part of the renowned Turkish conglomerate Anadolu Group, is proud to announce its debut at Boot Düsseldorf 2025, the world's largest indoor boat and water sports exhibition. Held from January 18 to January 26, 2025, this premier event attracts over 250,000 visitors and features more than 1,900 exhibitors from around the globe. At this milestone occasion, Aiata will unveil its groundbreaking Wayfinder 38, available in two distinct models: Cabin and Open. This versatile outboard walkaround exemplifies adaptability, comfort, and meticulous craftsmanship, setting a new standard in its class. To further demonstrate the Wayfinder 38's remarkable flexibility, Aiata will also showcase a third configuration: the specialized Fishing model. Derived from the Open and Cabin versions, this configuration is tailored specifically for anglers and sportfishing enthusiasts.

The Wayfinder 38 is designed by renowned Finnish designer Jarkko Jämsén, celebrated for his minimalist yet functional approach to yacht design. Visitors to the Aiata booth at Boot Düsseldorf will have the opportunity to explore three carefully configurations of this versatile model.

The Cabin model features a thoughtfully designed wheelhouse layout with an L-shaped salon and an integrated galley, creating a cozy retreat for longer journeys. Equipped with a Webasto sunroof and air conditioning system, this model is ideal for year-round enjoyment, whether basking in summer sun or navigating cooler climates. The cabin interior is elevated by premium teak furniture and cutting-edge amenities, offering a luxurious onboard experience. The foredeck cabin includes a queen-size bed, an enclosed bathroom, and 2-meter ceilings, ensuring ample comfort and space. To enhance livability, the innovative wheelhouse features a lift-up mechanism that seamlessly connects the interior with the cockpit, which is outfitted with a comfortable wet bar and table for entertaining. This design perfectly complements the bow area, which features a U-shaped sofa with a hi-low table.

The Open model features a suntop and a seamless salon layout that eliminates barriers, fostering a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces and creating an immersive experience with the sea and nature. Ideal for open-air excursions, this model boasts a spacious open deck complemented by refined oak furniture, perfectly blending functionality with sophistication.

The Fishing configuration is a versatile option that can be applied to both the Cabin and Open layouts. It includes a spacious sunbed on the foredeck, showcasing the boat's livability for leisure occasions. With an ergonomic layout and intuitive design, the Fishing configuration embodies practicality and elegance, making it perfect for day cruising, watersports, or fishing trips.

The Wayfinder 38 is equipped with outboard engines, offering configurations between a range of 300-425-horsepower engines. This setup ensures outstanding performance and reliability on the water.

Yutkun Tok, General Manager of Aiata, expressed his excitement and pride: "We are honored to participate in Boot Düsseldorf, a prestigious platform that celebrates the pinnacle of the boating world. The Wayfinder 38 embodies Aiata's mission to deliver versatile, high-performance boats backed by the Anadolu Group's legacy of innovation and excellence. For Aiata, this is a defining moment - not only because we are showcasing the Wayfinder 38, but because it reflects the expertise and unwavering commitment to quality that define the Anadolu Group. Aiata benefits from the financial strength and engineering excellence of Anadolu Group, ensuring every vessel we produce is a symbol of reliability, innovation, and craftsmanship. We look forward to sharing our passion for boating with enthusiasts from around the globe."
