The trip aboard a luxury yacht for three couples soon turns from an exciting experience to a terrible nightmare.

Breaking Glass Pictures has announced the North American release of The Boat, a gripping new thriller from director Alessio Liguori. The film will be available across North America on October 14, 2025.

Directed by Alessio Liguori (In the Trap) and written by Gianluca Ansanelli, Nicola Salerno, and Ciro Zecca, The Boat is an unsettling voyage into fear, paranoia, and buried secrets.

What begins as a luxurious getaway soon unravels into a harrowing fight for survival when three young couples find themselves stranded aboard a drifting yacht in the Mediterranean. With no fuel, food, or water, and all safety systems mysteriously disabled, they are pushed to their psychological limits by a sinister voice over the radio that manipulates their every move. As desperation mounts, dark truths from their pasts begin to surface — and no one on board will escape unscathed.

The Italian-language thriller stars Marco Bocci (Enrico), Diane Fleri (Elena), Filippo Nigro (Flavio), Marina Rocco (Claudia), Caterina Shulha (Martina), Alessandro Tiberi (Federico), and Eduardo Valdarnini (Emilio). Produced by Marco Belardi for Lotus Production, The Boat adds to Breaking Glass Pictures’ growing slate of standout international genre films.

“‘The Boat’ is a taut, nerve-shredding thriller that keeps you guessing until the final moment,” said Rich Wolff, CEO of Breaking Glass Pictures. “We’re excited to bring this Italian gem to North American audiences who crave smart, suspenseful cinema with an international edge.”
