This fall, NAVAN® unveils its most anticipated model yet. Making its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, September 8–13, the C38 is the brand's largest and most capable boat to date, the next expression of the design philosophy that has made NAVAN one of the fastest-growing exploration boat brands in the U.S. Like every model in the lineup, the C38 is built on NAVAN's patented T-Step Hull, engineered for a smoother, more efficient, and more confident ride in changing conditions.

The C38 anchors NAVAN's “Go Beyond the Expected” campaign, a journey that follows the boat from Cannes to Genoa, Barcelona, and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Designed for capability, comfort, and versatility in equal measure, the C38 offers expansive deck space and a purposeful layout built for everything from full days of entertaining to ambitious, multi-port adventures.

Built in the USA in Merritt Island, Florida, the same state-of-the-art facility where Sea Ray® builds its larger boats, the C38 is backed by Brunswick® and comes with a 10-year transferable hull warranty, a fitting foundation for the brand's boldest model yet.
