Jeanneau has announced its 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show line-up, including two motor yachts clearly within Luxury Yacht Guide's 12.00–23.99-metre coverage. The DB/43 OB and NC 1295 Fly are scheduled to appear on Dock H in the Red Zone from 28 October through 1 November.

The manufacturer's wider stand includes a number of smaller day boats and cruisers, which belong to Leisure Boat Guide when below 12 metres. This article focuses on the two qualifying models and their different ownership programmes.

DB/43 OB brings an open-day-yacht layout

The DB/43 OB is a 13.94-metre outboard-driven yacht with a design oriented towards open-air social use and time at anchor. Its layout differs substantially from Jeanneau's more enclosed family cruising models.

Buyers should inspect the relationship between aft cockpit, side access and cabin space to understand the actual usable area. Engine and equipment options fitted to the displayed yacht need confirmation with the sales team.

NC 1295 Fly offers flybridge cruising

The NC 1295 Fly measures 12.56 metres overall and takes a more sheltered approach with an enclosed main-deck living area and flybridge. It offers an alternative for owners who spend more time aboard across changing conditions.

The two models demonstrate why boats of broadly similar overall length can have very different purposes. Deck circulation, visibility and overnight comfort should be judged against the owner's actual travel plans.

Fort Lauderdale offers a US-market viewing

The show places builders in direct contact with American buyers, dealers and service providers during the autumn buying period. Jeanneau's published schedule makes the two qualifying boats available in the same area.

Owners planning Florida and Bahamas cruising can use a viewing to discuss regional equipment and support. Specific supply, price or delivery claims should be taken from a current dealer quotation rather than assumed from the event notice.

Dock H and exact dates

Jeanneau lists Dock H in the Red Zone for the 67th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, running from 28 October to 1 November 2026. The official event page offers visitor appointment requests.

The announcement is a confirmed regional show display, not a world premiere for either model. LYG will track changes if Jeanneau updates the listed fleet before opening day.
