Hydra 460 World Premiere at boot Düsseldorf

Slovenian boatbuilder ROTO Nautica unveiled the Hydra 460 at its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf. Developed in-house, the new model is positioned as a compact, refined boat focused on stability, ease of use and contemporary styling for both recreational and professional users.

Practical Layout and On-Board Comfort

The ergonomic deck layout improves weight distribution and driver protection. A generously sized helm seat accommodates two people and features a flip-up backrest with longitudinal adjustment. Storage solutions include dedicated compartments for anchor, fenders and ropes, while an optional sundeck box doubles as a relaxation area. For extended range, an optional 50-litre fuel tank is available.

Manufacturing and Range Highlights

All ROTO Nautica boats are built using rotational moulding multi layer technology, offering high structural rigidity, impact resistance, corrosion and UV durability, while remaining fully recyclable.

Alongside the Hydra 460, ROTO Nautica also presented the Korkyra 650 Pro and the Hydra 530.

The Hydra 460 is engineered to be steady, stylish, and simple, delivering a refined on-water experience.True refinement is defined not by complexity, but by stability and confident control on the water. I am confident, that driving a Hydra will bring you smile on your face.

Matjaž Pavlinjek, CEO of Roto Nautica
