NAVAN has taken the wraps off its largest model to date, the all new C38, in a world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival. SE Yachts, sub dealer for NAVAN in partnership with UK dealer Land & Sea, will be bringing details of the new model to Solent owners this autumn.
The C38 made its global debut at Cannes on 8 September, opening a new chapter for the Brunswick owned exploration brand and moving it into the larger exploration segment for the first time. It is the biggest product introduction NAVAN has made since the brand launched, and it arrives built around the same patented T-Step Hull that has defined the C30, S30 and T30.
For anyone who has stepped aboard a NAVAN at Hamble Point, the design thinking will feel familiar, just scaled up. The brand describes the C38 as a boat for owners who want to push beyond familiar waters without giving up comfort, and the specification reflects that.
Five things that define the C38
The T-Step Hull. NAVAN’s patented hull design is engineered for a smoother, more efficient ride at speed, whether you are crossing the Channel or making the most of a day in the Solent.
A cabin that punches above its class. Standing headroom in the heads and berths for four, without eating into the outside space.
A folding terrace. The swim platform opens out into a social space, so arriving somewhere becomes part of the day rather than the end of it.
Centre console helm deck. The helm doubles as a gathering point, keeping whoever is driving in the conversation rather than cut off at the wheel.
A modular aft section. Reconfigures depending on whether the plan is fishing, cruising or cooking.
Vittorio Bichucher, General Manager of NAVAN Boats, described the C38 as the moment the brand’s vision becomes tangible, and said the platform came directly from listening to what owners wanted from an exploration boat. Brunswick Boat Group President Brenna Preisser added that the launch strengthens the distinctive position NAVAN has built in the exploration segment, and framed the C38 as the brand’s next chapter.
NAVAN also confirmed at Cannes that a second 38 foot model, the S38, will join the range in early 2027, with design details to follow in the coming months.
The C38 and the South Coast
NAVAN in the UK is represented by Land & Sea, who hold the national dealership and are based in Abersoch and Dartmouth. SE Yachts works in partnership with Land & Sea as sub dealer for Southampton and the Solent, so South Coast owners have a local team at Hamble Point Marina and the full backing of the UK dealer network behind them.
Between the two, NAVAN owners get coverage from North Wales to the South West and across the Solent, with sales and aftersales support wherever the boat is kept.
If you would like to register your interest in the C38, arrange a viewing of the current range, or talk through how a NAVAN would suit your boating, get in touch with the SE Yachts team on info@seyachts.com at Hamble Point Marina and we will take it from there with Land & Sea.
