Boote Weidenauer

What Boote Weidenauer does

Boote Weidenauer GmbH is a family-led boat dealer and marine service company headquartered in Lampertheim, Germany, operating since its founding in 1978 by Ludwig Weidenauer. The company sells new and used motorboats and yachts, with authorized dealer relationships for Greenline Yachts and Sealine, while also running a multi-brand authorized service operation covering Volvo Penta, MerCruiser, Mercury, Suzuki, Cummins, Torqeedo, and Raymarine. It holds the exclusive status of the only Greenline Testcenter in Germany, giving it a distinctive position in the domestic leisure marine market.

The business operates from a 7,500 sqm waterfront site with direct dock access on the Altrhein river, supporting sales, workshop repair and maintenance, parts, and winter storage. It is managed by three directors — Ludwig Weidenauer, Irene Weidenauer, and Dominik Opitz — and runs with a small team of 1-10 employees, indicating a focused, regionally rooted operation rather than a scaled multi-site chain.

Revenue is generated through three intertwined lines: (1) new and used boat sales, with current order intake running into fall 2026/2027 reflecting multi-year supplier lead times; (2) authorized service, repair, and parts work across the partner OEM portfolio; and (3) seasonal winter storage and brokerage activity. The company maintains active presence at major European boat shows (Düsseldorf, Cannes, Friedrichshafen) plus a regional show in Worms, supporting lead generation and brand visibility. The upcoming early-2026 introduction of the Greenline 42 is a notable product milestone.
