A Genoa date in the owner's calendar
Grand Soleil has opened its appointment form for the Genoa International Boat Show, scheduled for 1 to 6 October 2026. Its official event page invites prospective owners to describe their sailing plans and the models they want to discuss.
The company's booking form lists the 44 Performance and 52 Performance among the available enquiry choices. That identifies the interests visitors can register, but it should not be read as a definitive list of boats that will be physically displayed.
Grand Soleil's participation follows its September European boat-show programme. The Italian builder's October date gives owners another opportunity to engage with its team and ask about specific projects.
44 Performance among the enquiry options
The Grand Soleil 44 Performance measures 14.33 metres in Luxury Yacht Guide's database. It is a relevant starting point for sailors considering a performance cruiser within the site's 12.00–23.99-metre coverage.
The official model image used with this article identifies the Grand Soleil 52 Performance. It illustrates an eligible enquiry model, not a claim that the exact yacht pictured has a Genoa display berth.
Owners evaluating a boat in this category may want to examine the relationship between its cockpit, sail-handling positions and accommodation. A discussion with the builder is also a chance to confirm the available build specification.
The wider Grand Soleil range
The 52 Performance is another choice on the Genoa enquiry form, alongside larger yacht programmes. Luxury Yacht Guide records that model at 17.05 metres overall, also inside its length remit.
Comparing the 44 and 52 is useful for sailors deciding whether their plans require more volume and different guest arrangements. Buyers should base those questions on their own crew size and cruising itinerary.
The form additionally offers other model interests, but the presence of a name in a dropdown does not establish that the boat is on display. Readers should avoid treating a booking menu as an exhibit list.
Appointments without a confirmed display list
The official event page states a 1 October opening and 6 October close in Genoa. Prospective visitors can request an appointment directly through the manufacturer and confirm the practical arrangements.
As of 27 September, the public source does not establish an exact model-by-model on-water line-up. This report is therefore limited to verified participation, dates and the two in-scope yachts available as enquiry options.
