NAVAN C38 Makes Its North American Debut at FLIBS

The NAVAN C38 had its world premiere in Cannes in September. FLIBS is its first show in North America, with a media unveiling on Wednesday 28 October. You will find it on the NAVAN stand, GH 10 on G/H Dock at Bahia Mar.

The C38 is the largest boat NAVAN has introduced so far. It is a 38-foot cabin boat with an enclosed pilothouse, a walkaround deck and sleeping for four. It runs on NAVAN's patented T-Step hull.

"The C38 is designed for owners who don't want to choose between adventure, comfort and versatility."

Who it is for

NAVAN pictures a day that runs long: a family cruise that becomes a night aboard, or a fishing trip that ends with dinner at anchor.

"Its patented T-Step hull delivers a smooth, efficient ride with confident handling, while the spacious cabin and open walkaround deck make it comfortable to stay out longer and see where the day takes you."

Vittorio Bichucher, NAVAN

The idea in one line

"Combine exploration-inspired design, premium craftsmanship and purposeful versatility in a boat that empowers owners to confidently pursue new experiences on the water."

Vittorio Bichucher, NAVAN

What changes for North America

The boat at FLIBS is the same model that premiered in Cannes, in a new colour scheme. NAVAN says the C38 fits the way North American owners use their boats: longer days, longer runs and more guests aboard.

On board that means the T-Step hull, the walkaround deck, an enclosed pilothouse with social seating, a grill and wet bar, and a cabin with full standing headroom. The C38 comes with a 10-year transferable warranty, and NAVAN is part of Brunswick Corporation.

"Combined with a 10-year transferable warranty and the backing of Brunswick Corporation, the C38 delivers confidence alongside capability."

Photographer Andy Mann shot the C38 for NAVAN as a dive and camera boat, from the cockpit to the swim platform and back to the helm.
