2026 Monohulls and Multihulls: Key New Models

Shipyards have staggered 2026 deliveries to optimize logistics: masts are being transported by roll-on trailers under special oversize permits, hulls moved by ro-ro vessels to key marinas, and final commissioning concentrated at regional yards to cut cross-border transport time and costs. This approach reduces lead times for brokers and charter fleets that need boats in marinas on tight schedules.

Best New Monohull Cruisers

Saffier SE 28 Leopard

The Saffier SE 28 Leopard returns Saffier Yachts to the daysailer market with a low freeboard, dramatic lines and helms set well forward to free up aft lounging space. Light displacement plus a generous sailplan aims for effortless speed — ideal for weekend charters where quick rigging and easy handling matter.

CNB 62

CNB 62, designed by Philippe Briand, reflects the Solaris-era refinement of the former Beneteau division. Positioned as a luxurious cruiser that can be crewed by a couple or operated with a professional skipper, the 62 has clear implications for premium yacht charter fleets seeking a balance of comfort and performance.

RM 960

RM 960 continues RM Yachts’ unusual epoxy/plywood construction tradition, delivering a light, stiff 32’ fast cruiser available with single or twin keels. The twin-keel option is a practical choice for tidal anchorages and shallow marinas often used by charter operators.

Neo 460 Roma

The Neo 460 Roma (Ceccarelli design) is an all-carbon craft with race-to-cruise convertibility. Its rapid strip-down concept makes it attractive for outfits that want to switch a boat between private charter use and occasional race campaigns — versatility that keeps utilization high.

Pogo RC

Specifically optimised for IRC racing, the Pogo RC sports a full-section scow bow and relatively short waterline for the overall length, prioritising offshore speed. Charter operators focused on performance experiences can market this model for adventurous clients and racing charters.

Boreal 56

Boreal 56 is a rugged aluminum blue-water cruiser with 12mm hull plating, built for high-latitude voyaging. Its robustness and upgraded interiors make it a candidate for expedition charters in remote seas where durability and comfort are both required.

Stem 50

The Italian-built Stem 50 takes a brute-force approach with high freeboard and angular lines and comes with a fixed keel — an unusual but solid choice for owners who prioritise stability and a no-nonsense hull for rough-weather cruising.

Woy 26

Woy 26 is a 26’ day-sailer cold-moulded in epoxy on a larch frame, offering a sustainable, light and stiff structure. With a lifting keel and carbon rig, it’s a tempting rental option for day charters and sailing schools near lakes and sheltered bays.

Pure 42

Pure 42 merges German engineering with the rugged aluminium ‘go anywhere’ concept; its torpedo lifting keel (1.2–3.0m) and option for a carbon rig make it competitive for owners who charter in mixed-depth harbours.

Best New Multihull Cruisers

Outremer 57 and 64

Outremer continues to broaden its fast blue-water cat lineup with the Outremer 57 (evolution of the 55) and the unprecedented Outremer 64, the largest model yet. Both models aim at owners and charter companies seeking liveaboard comfort with racing-capable performance; the 64 offers optional skipper quarters for professional crewing.

Balance 580

The Balance 580 blends raw performance with blue-water comfort. Reports from sea trials rate it highly for speed and offshore ability — a strong candidate for premium charter programs where crossing oceans is on the itinerary.

Windelo 58

Windelo 58 emphasizes sustainable construction (basalt hulls) and hybrid-electric propulsion, useful features for eco-conscious charter businesses and marinas that offer shore-power amenities for lower-emission cruising.

Charter and Rental Considerations

• Availability windows: staggered shipyard deliveries mean charter fleets must plan seasonal rotations earlier.
• Transport & commissioning: regional commissioning hubs speed placement into marinas and reduce ferrying costs for owners and brokers.
• Regulatory permits: oversize mast moves and international VAT rules remain key planning items for cross-border sales and charters.
• Flexibility: models that convert between racer and cruiser boost utilization rates (charter one week, race the next).

Quick Comparison Table

All told, the 2026 launches push a clear theme: greater versatility, smarter logistics and more charter-ready options. Whether you run a yacht sale operation, manage marinas, or list boats for rent on GetBoat, these new monohulls and multihulls affect availability, pricing and the types of experiences you can offer — from day-sailing on a Woy to ocean crossings on a Balance or Outremer. Smooth sailing ahead, but plan the transport and crew arrangements early to keep things shipshape.

Summary: new 2026 yachts from Saffier, CNB, RM Yachts, Neo Yachts, Pogo, Boreal, Stem, Woy, Pure, Outremer, Balance and Windelo cover a spectrum from day boats to expedition aluminium builds and high-performance cats. Key takeaways: streamlined logistics shorten delivery times, convertible designs raise charter utility, and sustainable propulsion boosts appeal in eco-aware markets. For those in yacht charter, boat rent, sale or marina operations, these launches change destination planning and activity offerings across sea, ocean and gulf waters — think superyacht standards in smaller yachts, new yachting activities, and better options for fishing, beach landings, clearwater cruising and lake or coastal boating with a professional captain or bareboat setup.
