Cannes 2026: BENETEAU unveils two key motor yacht models

The Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 marked a major milestone for BENETEAU. From 8 to 13 September, we unveiled the Swift Trawler 43 and the Gran Turismo 40 Open, two new models that embody the evolution of our iconic ranges and open up new horizons on the water.

Throughout the show, we were delighted to welcome owners, boating enthusiasts, partners and journalists who came to discover these new models through exclusive tours and conversations with our teams.

Two boats, two different boating experiences, driven by the same ambition: making the most of every moment on the water.

Swift Trawler 43: a cruising legacy reinvented

For more than twenty years, we have continued to develop the Swift Trawler range to support boaters in their search for freedom, autonomy and peace of mind on the water. With the new Swift Trawler 43 Fly, we are building on this heritage with a boat designed to go further, for longer, while offering even greater comfort on board.

With its generous living spaces, ease of handling and practical solutions designed for everyday life, the Swift Trawler 43 invites you to fully enjoy every journey, at your own pace.

Gran Turismo 40 Open: a new vision of express cruising

With the Gran Turismo 40 Open, we are opening a new chapter for our iconic range of express cruisers. Following the new Gran Turismo range design and philosophy, this model reinvents the open-air experience through elegant design, spaces connected to the sea and outstanding versatility.

Designed for sharing and freedom of movement, it is your ideal companion for both a day trip and a weekend escape.

The Gran Turismo 40 Open invites you to experience every moment on the water with intensity and simplicity.

A shared ambition: creating remarkable experiences on the water

These two new models reflect our commitment to continuously evolving each of our ranges with the same philosophy: putting design at the service of the on-board experience, responding to the changing expectations of boaters and creating boats that enrich the time spent on the water.

We would like to warmly thank all visitors who came to discover these two World Premieres in Cannes.

Their enthusiasm, their conversations with our teams and their first impressions made this 2026 edition a truly memorable moment for BENETEAU.
