Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 Motor Yacht Set to Make Show Debut at Venice Boat Show 2026

Designed for long-range cruising

As explored within the Beneteau Grand Trawler 63 review, the model has been developed to balance long-range cruising performance with onboard comfort, pairing a full-displacement hull from MICAD Naval Architects with twin MAN engines and straight-shaft propulsion for dependable passagemaking efficiency. Beneteau states the yacht is capable of cruising up to 1,000 nautical miles at 9 knots with reserve fuel remaining, while Sleipner fin stabilisers help maintain comfort both underway and at anchor, reinforcing the model’s emphasis on relaxed exploration rather than high-speed cruising.

Exterior spaces aboard the Grand Trawler 63 have been configured to support extended time outdoors, with wide side decks leading forward to a large sunpad with adjustable headrests and additional bow seating. The flybridge serves as the yacht’s primary social hub, featuring a large U-shaped dining area for up to eight guests, an inward-facing wet bar designed to encourage interaction, multiple lounging spaces and the option for a tender crane aft. An available flybridge T-top with sliding sunroof, aft bimini and integrated solar panels further enhances the yacht’s long-distance cruising functionality.

Inside the boat, Nauta Design has created interiors intended to support life onboard for extended periods, combining warm contemporary styling with practical layouts and generous storage capacity throughout. Available in three- or four-cabin configurations, the accommodation includes spacious staterooms with upgraded fixtures and large bathrooms, while a centrally positioned galley provides easy access to the helm, flybridge and saloon. Extensive soundproofing and the availability of an optional Silent Boat Pack contribute to what Beneteau describes as a whisper-quiet cruising environment both underway and at anchor.

A newly redesigned helm station inspired by the Swift Trawler 54 yacht introduces floating multifunction display screens alongside a new Xenta electric steering system intended to improve responsiveness and ease of operation. Beneteau has also focused heavily on onboard ergonomics throughout the motor yacht, from the layout of the helm controls and seating arrangements to the intuitive circulation between social spaces, aiming to create a yacht that owners can quickly become comfortable operating during longer passages.

According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the largest yacht database in the world, Beneteau continues to maintain a strong presence within the global motor yacht market, with models spanning long-range trawlers, express cruisers and luxury flybridge yachts.

The Grand Trawler 63 will be joined at the Venice Boat Show 2026 by additional models from Beneteau’s expanding motor yacht range, including the Gran Turismo 40 yacht and Gran Turismo 50 yacht.

The 16-metre Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 combines sleek express cruiser styling with flexible accommodation and twin Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, with layouts available in two or three-cabin configurations. Alongside it, the Beneteau Gran Turismo 40 offers a more compact sportscruiser platform with accommodation for up to four guests, combining practical onboard living with the open social spaces and sleek styling that define the Gran Turismo range.
