Beneteau at the Paris Nautic Show 2025: the strength of a group, the excellence of Wellcraft

The atmosphere in Paris at the end of November comes alive with the spirit of the sea and innovation. At the Paris Nautic Show 2025, scheduled from November 26 to 30 at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget, the Beneteau Group is ready to take center stage at an edition celebrating the passion for yachting in all its forms. With a renewed format and a strong focus on ecological transition and new technologies, the Paris boat show confirms its status as one of the most anticipated events on the European boating calendar.

First 30

More specificallly, Beneteau will showcase its full identity with an exhibition that embraces the entire world of the brand: from sailing to motor cruising, from family boats to offshore models. Among the highlights will be the First 30, a symbol of the shipyard’s sailing heritage, alongside the Oceanis 47, 37.1, and 34.1, which represent the best synthesis between comfort, performance, and contemporary style. The motorboat range will also be well represented with the Swift Trawler 37 Fly and the Gran Turismo 50, two models that embody the philosophy of long-range cruising with a modern touch. For dayboating enthusiasts, the Flyer series will include the 7 SPACEdeck, 8 SPACEdeck, and 9 SUNdeck, while family cruising fans will find the Antares 8, Antares 9 New, and Antares 11 Fly—models that perfectly reflect the brand’s hallmark practicality and build quality.

Gran Turismo 50

Alongside the Beneteau brand, the group is also proudly presenting Wellcraft, a name that in recent years has strengthened its reputation in the high-performance boating segment. Taking center stage at the stand will be the new Wellcraft 38 T-Top, a model that perfectly embodies the bold and sporty spirit of the American shipyard.

Beneteau at Paris Nautic Show 2025 with the Wellcraft 38 T-Top

With its sharp, muscular lines, the Wellcraft 38 T-Top stands out as one of the most anticipated boats of the show. Measuring nearly twelve meters in length, it’s a boat designed for high-speed navigation, yet capable of offering comfort and safety in all sea conditions. The deep-V hull, directly derived from the brand’s offshore experience, ensures impeccable stability even at high speeds, while the triple outboard setup—delivering up to 1,200 total horsepower—guarantees explosive acceleration and instant response.

The carbon fiber T-top, which gives the model its name, is not just a design feature but a functional solution designed to reduce weight and effectively protect the helm area. The helm station itself is spacious and technologically advanced, designed for complete control even during the most demanding navigation, with ergonomic seating and state-of-the-art digital instrumentation.

Below deck, the 38 T-Top surprises with its livability: the cabin features refined spaces, high-quality finishes, and a sleeping area that allows for short cruises in maximum comfort. This boat perfectly embodies Wellcraft’s new philosophy—to “push the limits,” as the brand’s motto says—through innovative construction, high performance, and a design that’s both aggressive and sophisticated.

Mattia Camera

I was born in Liguria, a stone's throw from the sea, with which I have a special and unbreakable relationship. Since middle school I had clear ideas: I wanted to be a journalist. I like to inform myself, understand what is going on around me and build my own opinion. After a few years in Milan, between study and work, during which I gained work and life experiences, the call of the sea became too strong and I moved back to my home.
