BENETEAU has confirmed Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52 and First 60 for the Barcelona International Boat Show on 14–18 October 2026. Those three sailing yachts fall inside LYG's 12.00–23.99-metre range, unlike several smaller models on the same stand.
The builder also lists its Gran Turismo 35, Flyer and Antares dayboats, all of which are below this site's minimum length. The LYG preview therefore concentrates on the three qualifying sailboats rather than presenting every BENETEAU exhibit as a luxury yacht.
Two cruisers and a performance option
The Oceanis 47 and 52 offer different sizes in the builder's established cruising range, while First 60 brings a separate performance-cruising design brief. A prospective owner can compare sailing controls, cabin circulation and outdoor living without changing brand.
The manufacturer's event page lists lengths of 14.6, 16.28 and 18.95 metres respectively. Final berthing and handling arrangements still depend on the individual yacht's equipment and loading.
Barcelona's official selection
BENETEAU confirms the show at Port Vell from Wednesday 14 to Sunday 18 October. The published event list does not state that all three sailing yachts are worldwide premieres, and LYG is reporting the planned display only.
A builder appointment should identify a specific hull and configuration because show boats may contain options not standard across the model line. Admission and any separate promotional activities require organiser confirmation.
Choosing an inspection route
An owner considering short-handed cruising should spend time at the helm, examine sail-handling positions and compare access between cockpit and accommodation. Equipment service points and stowage can be as important as the apparent volume of a saloon.
