See Us at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show: Palm Beach Premieres and a Standout Beneteau Lineup

Next week at the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show, Chesapeake Yacht Center will host an elevated, concierge-style display featuring the Palm Beach premiere of the Beneteau Gran Turismo 35, alongside the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 and the Swift Trawler 54. If you’re comparing compact sport cruisers or exploring serious long-range trawlers, this is your opportunity to experience three compelling models side-by-side with guidance from our expert team.

Palm Beach Premiere: Beneteau Gran Turismo 35

Designed for effortless day boating and stylish weekend escapes, the all-new Beneteau Gran Turismo 35 brings fresh energy to the sport-cruiser category. Expect sleek lines, a confidence-inspiring helm, and social deck spaces that make every hour on the water feel curated.

What you’ll love on board:

  • Sporty performance with responsive handling and intuitive controls for confident docking and close-quarters maneuvering
  • A sun-filled cockpit with convertible seating, alfresco dining, and easy flow to the swim platform
  • An integrated hardtop with opening sections for shade or breeze-on-demand
  • Thoughtful overnighting comforts, with a versatile salon and private accommodations sized for spontaneous getaways

For owners who want a nimble, modern cruiser that turns heads in Palm Beach and beyond, the Gran Turismo 35 delivers in style.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 41: The Versatile, Go-Far Cruiser

The Swift Trawler 41 is engineered for efficient, enjoyable cruising—ideal for weekend runs, Intracoastal exploring, or extended adventures. Known for its easygoing temperament and practical layout, it blends generous living spaces with the reassuring seaworthiness Swift Trawler owners prize.

If you’re moving up from a smaller cruiser or downsizing from a larger yacht without sacrificing comfort, the Swift Trawler 41 strikes a sweet balance.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 54: Flagship Comfort for Serious Voyaging

As the larger sibling in the lineup, the Swift Trawler 54 is built for owners who prioritize range, volume, and a luxurious onboard experience. Expect refined finishes, a generous flybridge, and spaces that elevate life at sea—whether you cruise seasonally or plan multi-week expeditions.
