New Boats: NAVAN Boats Unveils C38 in World Premiere

September 24, 2026

This month, the all-new Navan C38 made its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Built around NAVAN’s signature T-Step Hull design and engineered across the brand’s dual-continent manufacturing footprint, the C38 is designed for owners who want to push beyond familiar waters with confidence, comfort and unmistakable style.

A Platform Built Around Five Core Innovations

At the center of the C38’s debut is a set of design decisions that define how the boat looks, rides, and lives, on the water and at the dock.

  • Patented T-Step Hull: Engineered for a smoother, more efficient ride at speed, providing confidence and comfort whether crossing to the next port or exploring closer to home.
  • Class-Leading Interior: A standing-height head and a cabin that rivals boats a class above, comfortably sleeping four without giving up outside space.
  • Social Folding Terrace: The swim platform transforms into an extension of the party, turning arrival into a destination in itself.
  • Center Console Helm Deck Layout: A command station and gathering space in one, keeping the captain connected to guests instead of isolated at the wheel.
  • Modular Aft Section: Built to adapt to how the day is spent, from fishing, cruising, or cooking, the aft section reconfigures to fit the moment.

Looking Ahead: S38 Coming Early 2027

Alongside the C38 debut, NAVAN confirmed that the S38, the next model in its expanding lineup, will join the brand’s fleet in early 2027. Details on the S38’s design direction and positioning will follow in the coming months, with NAVAN signaling that the model will extend the same exploration-first philosophy introduced with the C38 to a new segment of owners.

According to Brunswick Corporation, we may see the Canadian debut of the C38 at the Toronto Boat Show.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
