Eight boats across three categories
BENETEAU will bring a broad selection of motor yachts, sailing yachts and dayboats to the Barcelona International Boat Show from 14 to 18 October 2026. The display includes the Gran Turismo 35, Flyer 9 SUNdeck, Antares 9, Antares 11 Coupe, Oceanis 34.1, Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52 and First 60.
For Luxury Yacht Guide readers, the Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52, First 60 and Gran Turismo 35 are particularly relevant examples of how the builder serves the upper end of owner-operated leisure yachting without crossing into the superyacht sector. This gives visitors a direct comparison between several ownership styles within one manufacturer display.
Gran Turismo 35 anchors the motor-yacht offer
The Gran Turismo 35 will be the principal motor-yacht model in the Barcelona display, bringing BENETEAU's latest express-cruiser design language to the Spanish market. The model combines enclosed comfort with a relatively compact overall length, making it suitable for owners who want weekending capability without a large crew requirement.
BENETEAU is also linking the model with an Alpine automotive experience during the show. Visitors will be able to extend the event beyond the marina through the partnership, adding a lifestyle element to the yacht presentation.
Sailing range covers several cruising styles
The Oceanis 34.1, 47 and 52 will appear alongside the First 60, giving sailing buyers a wide spread of cruising and performance priorities. The Oceanis models emphasise comfortable family cruising, while the First line carries a stronger performance identity.
That contrast makes the Barcelona stand more useful than a single-model display because owners can compare different approaches to sailing within one brand. It also gives existing BENETEAU owners a straightforward route to assess whether a move up or across the range fits their future cruising plans.
Barcelona connects Mediterranean buyers
Barcelona's position on the western Mediterranean makes the show accessible to Spanish owners and international buyers who keep yachts around the Balearics, southern France and the Iberian coast. The event also sits late enough in the season for owners to begin planning purchases or upgrades for the following year.
With eight boats on display, BENETEAU is using Barcelona as a broad portfolio event rather than a narrowly focused launch. The show runs from 14 to 18 October 2026.
