The below is outdated. See the answer by @dakishimesan.

May be worth just copying the entire Cyberduck folder across. It's located at ~/Library/Application Support/Cyberduck. There is a Favorites.plist file in there if you just want the bookmarks. Put that in the same location on your new MacBook.

1May be worth it to migrate the whole user profile to the new machine :-) I would probably go insane without all my applications, preferences, files, etc. – Daniel Beck – 2010-10-27T15:13:41.833

1~/Library/Preferences/ch.sudo.cyberduck.plist might also be a good idea to migrate. – Daniel Beck – 2010-10-27T15:18:13.687

You can drag and drop the bookmarks from the list (Cmd+B) to a Finder window or the desktop, then copy or move those files to your new machine.

These files don't contain your stored password, this is still in your keychain. Enter it anew on the new machine, or migrate your login (default) keychain you can find in /Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/login.keychain.

If your machine is brand new, you could consider using Migration Assistant to migrate all your data to the new machine.

Full answer from the Cyberduck documentation:

Preferences and application support files location

Preferences are saved in ~/Library/Preferences/ch.sudo.cyberduck.plist.

Bookmarks, history, profiles and workspace information is saved in the application support directory. These settings are shared with Cyberduck CLI and Mountain Duck.

~/Library/Group Containers/G69SCX94XU.duck/Library/Application Support/duck/

Navigate to the Library folder using ⌘⇧-L or use Go → Go to Folder… in Finder.

Any idea, how to prevent the loss of the sort order? Is that in the profile files? – Andreas – 2020-02-20T23:03:28.593

In Sierra:

User -> Library -> Group Containers -> G69SCX94XU.duck -> Library -> Application Support -> duck

For backup, just simple: access bookmarks pages, at here select bookmarks which you want to backup (or press CMD A to select all bookmarks), then drag-n-drop them to Desktop or anywhere

For restore: drag-n-drop backup file (.duck) to Cyberduck!

This works well, but doesn't persist saved passwords :/ – Benjamin Tamási – 2019-09-02T11:06:24.693

In this case (for scp, sftp), I think you need to config same me: add a key to all session remote – tquang – 2019-09-05T04:58:53.847
