Gran Turismo 35, compact and versatile, the Crossover with a sporty soul and interiors designed for luxury and modularity. Its ultramodern hull perfectly embodies the ability to navigate and comfort, inspired by a modern lifestyle, the modular layout of the cockpit offers a versatile space ideal for relaxing or racing at high speeds utilizing all the power.

The collaboration between BENETEAU and Alpine, a leading brand in the high-end sports sector, has given rise to exclusive limited editions within the new Gran Turismo range, further strengthening the unmistakable style of this line. The yachts are adorned with the Alpine signature: shades of blue and black, high-end upholstery, the presence of the logo with the arrowed “A” and an optimized helm station.

A fully optimized dashboard with automotive-inspired steering wheel and ergonomics designed for maximum control at speed, three side-by-side seats featuring high-end upholstery, enhanced by contrasting handcrafted stitching, that maintain the style of the famous Alpine cars. A combination made of attention to quality and all the details that enhance the history of the two brands, on one side Beneteau with its 140 years of history in yachting, on the other an iconic brand that has been building cars since 1955 where beauty meets engineering.

This is an exciting moment for BENETEAU. Gran Turismo is a highly successful range of boats for fast cruising, showcasing our technology, performance, and style. But it was necessary to update and modernize the models for our core market. Designed with the consumer at the center, the new range embodies our vision of “Sport-Lux”, offering open spaces with a sense of luxury. The brand new Gran Turismo range represents the ultimate express cruiser crossover – says Eric LeVine, Motor Yachts Sales Director

The highly efficient hull is capable of ensuring quick planing, great maneuverability, and speeds exceeding 40 knots, the Gran Turismo 35 is the ideal synthesis between the adrenaline of motor sports and the freedom of recreational boating. Space and livability find the right balance on a small supercar that hides incredible comfort within. The transformable bow berth offers both a comfortable lounge and a spacious double bed, while the private mid-boat cabin ensures privacy when needed. A generously sized fully enclosed bathroom with shower and a well-equipped kitchen make this model perfect for weekends at sea.

Hanse 461 returns after twenty years since the success of the original model in a completely renewed guise, consolidating the strengths that have made its sailing philosophy famous: maneuverability, reduced crew, livability of spaces.

Designed for optimal management with a reduced crew, all maneuvers are led to the cockpit and can be easily controlled through a single set of winches. The unique third reefing point (allows both the mainsail and the boom to be lowered simultaneously) enables hoisting, adjusting, reefing, and tacking directly from the cockpit, while the self-tacking jib further facilitates changing courses. The choice to position the mainsail traveler on the coachroof allows for a cockpit free of lines and enables movement without obstacles, thanks also to the dual steering system.

At the stern, we find the completely redesigned foldable swim platform, served by two comfortable chairs positioned at both ends, allowing easy access to the sea, creating a spacious and absolutely relaxing beach area. While sailing, the two folding wings can be closed, creating an additional comfortable seat for the helmsman who wants to rest.

The five options for headsails, from the self-tacking jib to the staysail, up to the reacher and gennaker, allow this new Hanse 461 to sail comfortably depending on the weather conditions encountered during navigation.

Hanse 461, the interiors

Bright and modern interiors with four large hatches in the saloon and a total of 26 openings for ventilation. Various cabin layouts, including a spacious owner’s cabin with a central island bed or two separate double cabins at the bow, and different options for saloon, kitchen, guest cabins, sail locker/technical room, and storage allow adapting the yacht to different needs for family cruising as well as long journeys.

Easy sailing, fast cruising, innovative design, and individual customization, these are the four fundamental strengths that distinguish this new model from the yard, Hanse 461 is the sailing concept for the new generation of sailors who want ease of handling combined with good performance and the comfort of a long cruiser.

Interior configurations

The Galeon 420 FLY, the latest addition to the FLY range, introduces a renewed style while maintaining practical dimensions. With a length of 13.68 meters and a beam of 4 meters, it combines balanced proportions with an efficient layout, offering impressive space despite its compact size.

The enlarged side windows give it a distinctive exterior appearance, and the glass surface allows natural light to illuminate the superstructure. At the stern, the two side terraces, when opened, create an area nearly six meters wide, expanding the deck space and, along with the widened platform, transforming the area into a seamless outdoor terrace over the sea.

The Galeon 420 FLY offers an impressive amount of living space spread over three levels. The aft square is served by an L-shaped sofa, a folding table, and a wet bar. The yacht’s symmetry facilitates movement on board and creates a natural flow between the interiors and exteriors. At the bow, the spacious sunbathing areas provide a comfortable place to enjoy the sea breeze.

Jeanneau renews one of its bestsellers. Cap Camarat 6.0 CC, a versatile, smart, and strong 6-meter boat, designed for the new generation of boaters.

Cap Camarat 6.0 CC, versatility and rationality

With over 35,000 units sold in four decades of history, the Cap Camarat range represents a true global benchmark in the outboard motorboat segment. For the 2026 season, Jeanneau is relaunching with the new Cap Camarat 6.0 CC, a dayboat that embodies the new claim of the brand: “Same DNA. New energy”.

Designed to be intuitive, the Cap Camarat 6.0 CC stands out for its robust construction and meets the needs of those who experience the sea in a more dynamic, active, and emotional way. One no longer chooses a hull merely as a status symbol, but for the experiences it allows: from water skiing to fishing or days of pure relaxation at anchor.

The management of deck spaces is impeccable:

Clear and multifunctional bow: completely free to facilitate work or storage of equipment.

Panoramic console: full-length and directly inspired by the higher model, the Cap Camarat 9.0 CC, offering excellent protection and driving ergonomics.

Modular cockpit: at the stern, the rotating bolster seats allow for quick configuration of a large living/dining area.

Storage and WC: the generous bow cabin/locker provides ample space for equipment and is designed to accommodate a marine toilet.

Ingenious onboard innovations

The Cap Camarat 6.0 CC stands out for cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance life at anchor:

Aqua-Top: a novel solution with a floating element integrated above the T-Top that, once at anchor, lowers in seconds to extend the sunbathing area at water level, prolonging the relaxation space for moments of pure pleasure.

Pack Ambiance: refined finishes such as the black lacquered 6-spoke steering wheel, the glossy dashboard, and padded coverings for the backrests, which offer a navigation experience without compromises.

New Style: the new color scheme for the hull Light Blue, combined with sporty upholstery Baltic/Iceberg, creates a colorful and dynamic visual impact that makes the Cap Camarat 6.0 CC very sporty.

Built on the concepts of Jeanneau Design and Sarrazin Design, the hull, thanks to its width (2.32 m) and length under 6 m, allows for shipping in a 40-foot container and can be easily transported on a road trailer.

Maintaining a narrow and sharp hull at the bow, the boat ensures high marine qualities, smooth passages over waves, and total safety in all conditions. Available with a standard engine of 115 HP (ideal for ease of use and low consumption), it supports up to 150 HP for speed and water sports enthusiasts.

World Premiere

The new Jeanneau Cap Camarat 6.0 CC will be officially presented in a world premiere to the public at the Grand Pavois Boat Show in La Rochelle, scheduled from September 22 to 27, 2026.

Omikron Yachts returns to the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with the evolution of the award-winning OT-60, the new model, further refined, has already redefined long-range cruising thanks to efficiency, comfort, and intelligent design. A motor yacht of 18.4 meters that has made quite a stir in the international nautical scene, described in some cases as a “sailboat without sails” or an eco-cruiser.

OT-60, a yacht that has continued to evolve through constant technical development and close collaboration with owners. Designed by Omikron Yachts together with naval architect Juan Kouyoumdjian and designer Lorenzo Argento, the OT-60 blends the philosophy of sailing with the practicality and livability of a motor yacht. At the heart of the project is the proprietary displacement hull, Eco-Cruise, developed to offer maximum efficiency at real cruising speeds, allowing owners to enjoy longer journeys with reduced fuel consumption and a lower environmental impact.

Clean and essential lines, flat surfaces, free from obstacles, allow for safe walking from stern to bow. The large windows provide light and truly magical views, a generous stern allows for easy movement between the two tables served by two L-shaped sofas, where 6 people can comfortably sit on each side.

Below deck, the OT-60 offers various configurations (with 3 or 4 cabins), all equipped with private bathrooms, for maximum comfort even during long stays on board. The expansion into key markets, thanks to a widespread network of dealers and continuous investments in product development, has allowed the yard to strengthen its position among owners seeking a more conscious and refined approach. The brand was launched in 2019, along with its first major project, the intense refit of the 107-meter gigayacht Dream, which involved extending the hull by 15 meters. Today, the yard builds 12 units per year of its first series model, the OT-60, and is working on the Argo 54, a concept for a sustainable super-sailing yacht.

With the projects of the OT-80 and Argo 54, currently in development, the brand enhances its ability to create yachts designed not only to reach destinations but to enrich every mile of the journey.

Slow Cruising is the new trend that is starting to be preferred by new boat owners, a philosophy that invites rediscovering the pleasure of traveling by sea through staged navigation, respecting marine ecosystems. Not just a style choice, but a new way of living on the boat, with more relaxed rhythms, flexible routes, and an onboard experience focused on psychological well-being.

“Slow boating responds to a very concrete expectation: to give time back to the journey by sea and space to the explored territories. The boats, as well as the marina networks and destinations present this year, demonstrate how travel and stops are essential components of the nautical experience, serving a more responsible, local, and eco-conscious way of sailing“, explains Constance Brément, Director of the Cannes Yachting Festival.

A change of course that becomes a new trend – Slow Cruising

The data reflects this change: according to a study by the Fédération des Industries Nautiques (FIN), 72% of sailors now want to slow down their pace, 65% aim to reduce fuel consumption, and 58% express frustration with rigid itineraries.

A marina network allows boaters to navigate close to shore, adapt stops to the weather, and reduce engine use. Furthermore, this organization addresses two fundamental needs:

• Environmental protection: avoids overcrowding in bays and more fragile ecosystems, directing boats to equipped areas.
• Local enhancement: transforms the port from a transit point to an enrichment towards the culture, gastronomy, and craftsmanship of the place.

This new chapter in boating is certainly evidenced by the fact that many shipyards are implementing corporate policies to meet new demands. Greenline Yacht was one of the first to start offering hybrid boats for slower navigation, without the use of internal combustion engines for travel between islands. From trawlers for long distances to new units like the Sea Loft by Jeanneau or the Oasis Meu Amor 1029 by Caelum. Meanwhile, the Aventura 37 Explorer highlights the growing popularity of low fuel consumption trawler catamarans, designed to give more value to the itinerary than to speed. Boats are changing their appearance and transforming into true oases of well-being in perfect Slow Cruising style.

Destinations

The main operators and tourist resorts will be present at the Cannes Festival (which will host over 680 exhibitors, 700 boats, and nearly 150 world premieres), this participation demonstrates the desire to make stops a strategic component of the journey by sea.

Beneteau has presented the new Oceanis 42, a cruiser candidate to become the reference model of the French shipyard in the 40-foot segment, as well as the designated heir of the Oceanis 40.1.

The market debut coincides with the fortieth anniversary of the Oceanis range and effectively opens up a new generation of boats, while maintaining the philosophy and tradition of the French shipyard. 

Oceanis 42: larger cockpit and new helm stations

The project, signed by Marc Lombard and with lines by Nauta Design, has allowed the creation of a boat designed to combine performance and style, with a better distribution of space on board. The design was developed by combining the work of the designers with the perspectives of owners, dealers, and specialized press, always starting from data collected from the fleet, in order to improve onboard systems, overall ergonomics, and reliability.

According to data provided by the shipyard, compared to the previous model, the cockpit’s usable area has increased by 12% and the seating area by 10%. Numbers that lead Beneteau to define it as the largest cockpit in the 40-foot segment.

There are two available stern configurations: open, with the swim platform extending from the cockpit, or closed, with more protected and convivial rear seating even while sailing.

The helm stations take up solutions already introduced on the Oceanis 47 and 52: integrated seats and backrests, ergonomic consoles with all controls within reach, and an engine lever incorporated into the station.

Performance and ease of handling

The boat has been designed to offer safety and ease of handling even during long passages and with a reduced crew. The hull combines performance, stability, and balance at the helm, while to improve efficiency in various sailing conditions, the rigging has been revised: the standard rig with a roller mainsail has been raised by 600 mm, while the Classic and Performance versions gain 300 mm, resulting in an increase in sail area and performance.

The interiors: a bath of light in the dinette

The Oceanis 42 has been designed for a true life on board, not just for fun: the focal point in this sense is the design of natural light inside the boat. 

The hull windows in the dinette and cabins are 2.5 times larger than the previous model, creating a more direct visual connection with the sea. The volumes are generous and the atmosphere is elegant, contemporary, and defined thanks to the materials: Sand Oak wood and three variants of premium finishes, available in Ivory, Sunset, and Pacific colors.

Beyond the L-shaped kitchen (which can vary according to needs), the internal space is completed with a true office below deck, an integrated bookshelf on the bulkhead at the foot of the mast, as well as a cabinet at the foot of the descent that groups all the electrical controls of the boat, for a clear and rational organization of onboard systems. 

With a refrigeration capacity of 215 liters, the Oceanis 42 offers, according to Beneteau, the largest cold storage volume in this segment.

Oceanis 42: the true distinguishing feature is modularity 

There are five possible configurations of the boat:

2 cabins and 1 bathroom;
3 cabins and 1 bathroom
3 cabins and 2 bathrooms
3 cabins and 3 bathrooms
4 cabins and 2 bathrooms, designed for charters.

The kitchen, according to needs, can be L-shaped or longitudinal, while for the charter version, it is possible to request Laos Teak finishes, more resistant to intensive use.

In summary, the key points are flexibility and design, aimed at making daily life on board easier.

Oceanis 42: provisional technical data

Overall length:	12.86 meters
Maximum beam	4.23 meters
Displacement	7,985 kg
Standard engine	45 HP
Certification	CE A10/B10/C12

Manari Yachts is about to deliver the Manari 52 as a chase boat, fully customized, for a new megayacht under construction at one of the world’s leading shipyards.

In two years, the Manari Yachts shipyard, based in Miami, has made rapid progress, moving from a world debut to significant commissions, a complex journey that usually takes much longer. The new Manari 52 model confirms that the shipyard continues to strengthen its market presence; this 16-meter vessel will be launched in August and will head directly to the Cannes Yachting Festival for its European preview before reaching the Monaco Yacht Show for the presentation alongside the megayacht for which it was designed and built.

Painted in the same livery and finished with the same details as its future mother ship, it is designed to appear as the natural continuation of the vessel that will see it as a chase boat, built to the same superyacht standards. The MANARI 52 is a blend of strength, precision, and luxury, with every detail designed to offer unparalleled performance on the water, ensuring the highest level of comfort and sophistication.

The Manari 52 has been built around the owner’s needs, fully customized, with a careful design study almost defining a “beach club” style, foldable terraces that open the aft platform directly onto the water, a spacious wet bar for outdoor entertaining, and a layout specifically reconfigured for how the owner intends to use the boat, whether to follow the mother ship at sea or to host guests in total autonomy at anchor.

The interiors of the Manari 52

While externally the Manari 52 is forged to be a high-class chase boat with truly impeccable design, both in materials and extremely sophisticated lines, it is internally that the great work of research and craftsmanship is perceived. A five-star master cabin served by an equally refined bathroom attended to in every detail, a guest cabin, and a lounge area welcome us into an environment of uncompromising elegance.
