Scanner Marine will stage Scanner Days at Marina di Varazze, Italy, from 25 to 27 September 2026, with the Envy 1500 among three models advertised for viewing and sea trials. The event announcement invites interested visitors to arrange an appointment with the builder rather than presenting the occasion as a new-model world premiere.
The Envy 1500 is the focus for Luxury Yacht Guide because the manufacturer's published 15.20-metre length places it inside the publication's 12.00-to-23.99-metre range. Scanner is also advertising the Envy 1200 and the smaller Envy 1100 at the event, but the Envy 1100 falls outside this publication's coverage and is not assessed here.
Three days at Marina di Varazze
The builder's event notice specifies Friday 25 through Sunday 27 September and identifies Marina di Varazze as the venue. Scanner says visitors will be able to see its 2026–2027 developments, inspect the participating craft and request trials at sea, with staff on hand to explain the models.
The announcement does not publish a detailed trial timetable, weather contingency policy or a list of guaranteed engine configurations for every departure. Anyone travelling specifically to test the Envy 1500 should therefore confirm an appointment and the precise boat available with Scanner before making arrangements.
The 1500 sits within LYG's size range
Scanner lists the Envy 1500 at 15.20 metres long and 4.40 metres wide, placing it firmly in the luxury-yacht size segment covered here. Its broad layout is designed around walkaround circulation, with side passages leading towards a substantial beach-club area at the stern.
The dimensions come from Scanner's own model pages and should not be extrapolated to the other vessels attending the event. Actual berth requirements depend on the selected configuration and individual marina rules, while performance figures for a brochure model should be checked against the particular boat offered for a test.
Buyers can compare propulsion arrangements
The manufacturer publishes separate pages for inboard and outboard Envy 1500 variants, distinguishing how the stern is arranged. Scanner describes the inboard version as having an uncluttered aft bathing platform, while its outboard presentation highlights the alternative propulsion concept and related configuration choices.
For a prospective owner, the distinction deserves inspection from the cockpit as well as the engine compartment or stern. Access to the water, servicing needs, storage and swimming arrangements can affect daily enjoyment as much as outright performance, and an onboard demonstration is an opportunity to discuss those trade-offs with the yard.
The outboard model's published specification
Scanner states that the Envy 1500 Outboard can be configured with combined power between 1,200 and 2,400 horsepower, with 2,400 horsepower listed as the maximum. The manufacturer also specifies a CE Category B classification and capacity for 18 persons, although buyers should rely on the certification and documents supplied with their own vessel.
Those power figures are a configuration range, not verified speeds from the planned Varazze sea trials. The event announcement contains no measured consumption or sea-state results, so it would be misleading to promise a particular top speed or cruising economy from the publicity alone.
Deck circulation is a design priority
The builder describes two functional side passages in a walkaround deck plan, connecting forward movement to the large aft beach-club zone. That arrangement is intended to make movement between the social areas more direct, while the hull's elevated bow allows more usable interior volume than buyers might expect from the model's profile.
An inspection can reveal whether the boarding arrangement, handholds and passage widths suit the people who will actually use the yacht. Family cruising, swimming at anchor and frequent guest movements place different demands on the same deck, which is why specifications alone are not a substitute for stepping aboard.
What the three-day event can establish
The advantage of a concentrated yard event is access to its staff and participating boats in one location. Visitors can ask about options, engine arrangements, interior plans and available delivery information while seeing how the boat sits alongside a working marina and behaves during a suitably arranged sea trial.
Scanner does not identify a new order price or delivery commitment in its event notice, and neither should be inferred from the fact that trials are offered. Any quotation, warranty or handover schedule must be confirmed directly with the yard or authorised sales representative for the requested specification.
Practical details for interested owners
Scanner lists info@scanner-marine.com as the contact for information and appointments during the 25–27 September gathering. The advertised experience includes visits aboard and sea trials of the Envy models; participation details and availability should be confirmed before arrival, especially when a particular variant is important.
This story records a confirmed forthcoming manufacturer event and a verified 15.20-metre yacht specification rather than claiming an unannounced launch. It gives prospective owners a defined opportunity to inspect the Envy 1500 while keeping smaller Scanner craft outside Luxury Yacht Guide's editorial remit.
