A New Chapter in the STERK Line-Up

Nuremberg-based boatbuilder STERK has announced the launch of the new STERK 26, the company’s first EU-trailerable model. Weighing under 3.5 tonnes, the 26 blends STERK’s hallmark performance with a format that offers owners greater flexibility on and off the water.

Since its founding, STERK has introduced three models: the 31 RC (Rear Cabin), the 31 WB (Wet Bar) and now the new 26. From the outset, petrol outboard power from Yamaha will be available. The brand’s two-step hull design delivers efficient running, with the ICE versions consuming up to 30% less fuel than comparable craft. This not only reduces operating costs but also helps cut CO₂ emissions.

Electric Innovation on the Horizon

From 2026, the 26 will also be offered with an electric drivetrain in partnership with Vision Marine Technologies. This version, launching first in North America, promises near-silent running and marks another step in STERK’s commitment to sustainable boating.

Comfort and Completeness in a Compact Size

Despite its trailerable footprint, the STERK 26 is designed for versatility and comfort. On board features include:

  • A spacious cabin with a separate shower and toilet
  • A fully equipped wet bar with cooking station
  • Large storage capacity
  • Two generous sunbeds
  • Stern passage to the swim platform

From the very beginning, we have been on the water ourselves – testing, refining and putting our heart and soul into these boats….With the new 26, we go even further: she may not be the fastest in our fleet, but she brings a level of completeness that makes her the perfect all-rounder.

Milan Sterk, CEO of STERK
