BENETEAU x Alpine: the show sets off to sea in Barcelona

From October 14th to 18th 2026, BENETEAU was present at the Barcelona Boat Show, in the heart of Port Vell, for an event that combined design, performance and the joy of navigation.

Among the boats showcased, the Gran Turismo 35 Alpine Edition was in the limelight, with a sea trial shared with the Alpine teams, journalists and content creators.

Two distinct universes, a common passion for sensations

In the heart of Barcelona, between the Port Vell quays and the Mediterranean waters, the boat show provided the perfect location to discover the BENETEAU universe. Several models, including the Gran Turismo 35 Alpine Edition, were showcased during the event.

The highlight of this presentation: an Alpine A390 positioned above the Gran Turismo 35 Alpine Edition – a visual encounter between two worlds that share a passion for design, precision and performance.

But it was on the water that this collaboration really came to life.

Heading towards the Mediterranean

On October 15th, following a shared breakfast and a presentation of the partnership, the Alpine teams, journalists and several content creators embarked on board the Gran Turismo 35 Alpine Edition for a sea trial, departing from the Barcelona marina.

Within a few minutes, the docks faded into the distance and the city revealed a different perspective. At sea, the Gran Turismo 35 truly expresses its character: powered by two 425 HP motors, it combines a responsive hull, excellent stability and a high level of comfort, even at increased speeds.

Up to 44 knots, sensations become more thrilling. The boat reveals its sporty nature while maintaining controlled handling, for an experience that combines the pleasure of navigating with on-board comfort.

A lived and shared experience

An opportunity to experience the Gran Turismo 35 Alpine Edition in a different way, through the journey itself, interaction on board and shared impressions.

Beyond the boats showcased, this event gave a concrete dimension to the BENETEAU x Alpine partnership: that of an experience to enjoy, where design and performance are felt as much as they are seen.

The Alpine brand is synonymous with performance, excitement and singularity. Therefore, it is quite natural to see it joining forces with BENETEAU to offer new, exclusive experiences. We are now proud to see that during the boat show, Alpine and BENETEAU are showcasing French expertise at the Port of Barcelona, both on the quayside and on the water.

Following this Mediterranean interlude, the next event will be the Paris Nautic Show, from November 25th to 29th 2026, where visitors will be able to discover the BENETEAU x Alpine partnership, an invitation to explore two worlds that share the same sensitivity to design and sensations, as well as discovering the joy of performance, both on the road and the water.
