BENETEAU will bring a broad mixed fleet to the Genoa Boat Show from 1 to 6 October 2026. Six of the announced models fall inside Luxury Yacht Guide’s 12.00-to-23.99-metre coverage, giving visitors a useful cross-section of the builder’s current sailing and motor-yacht offer.

The qualifying line-up comprises the Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52, First 60, Antares 12 Fly, Gran Turismo 50 and Swift Trawler 43 Fly. Smaller boats in the official display fall below LYG’s 12-metre threshold and are therefore excluded from this article.

Three sailing yachts lead the LYG line-up

The sailing side is headed by the 18.95-metre First 60, the largest LYG-eligible yacht in BENETEAU’s Genoa display. It will appear alongside the 14.60-metre Oceanis 47 and 16.28-metre Oceanis 52, giving buyers three different routes into contemporary cruising under sail.

The Oceanis models put greater emphasis on cruising volume and family use, while the First 60 takes a more performance-oriented position. Seeing the three together should make the differences in deck layout, accommodation and sailing priorities easier to compare than they are on paper.

Gran Turismo 50 anchors the motor-yacht side

BENETEAU’s 15.95-metre Gran Turismo 50 will represent the sportier end of the motor-yacht display. The model sits above the 12.97-metre Antares 12 Fly, which brings a more compact flybridge layout into the same show stand.

The Swift Trawler 43 Fly adds a third motor-yacht approach at 13.13 metres overall. Its emphasis is on practical cruising and longer stays aboard, creating a useful contrast with the faster, more lifestyle-led Gran Turismo concept.

Six qualifying yachts from a much larger display

BENETEAU will also show several boats below 12 metres, including smaller Oceanis, Flyer and Antares models. LYG is keeping those outside this coverage so the Genoa preview remains focused on the publication’s defined luxury-yacht size band.

That filtering still leaves a substantial six-yacht group spanning 12.97 to 18.95 metres. It is one of the more varied LYG-relevant displays announced for Genoa so far, particularly because it combines sailing yachts, flybridge motor yachts, sports cruisers and trawler-style cruising in one builder presentation.

Genoa runs from 1 to 6 October

The Genoa Boat Show opens on Thursday 1 October and runs through Tuesday 6 October. BENETEAU is inviting visitors to arrange access through its dealer network, with the full display covering both sail and power products.

For buyers comparing yachts below 24 metres, the value of the stand is the ability to move quickly between distinct ownership concepts from one manufacturer. Rather than focusing on a single launch, BENETEAU is using Genoa to show how broad its current cruising range has become.
