SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – At the Paris Nautic Show, two French icons are stepping onto the same stage as BENETEAU and Alpine reveal the new Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition, a sport-luxury yacht designed for people who love performance on both land and sea.
Two French legends meet on the water
The Gran Turismo 50 is already the flagship of BENETEAU’s Gran Turismo line, but this new Alpine limited edition turns it into something even more special for style-conscious boaters. BENETEAU brings 140 years of boatbuilding expertise, while Alpine contributes its motorsport DNA and bold design language. Together, they’ve created a yacht that feels like a natural extension of a French performance car lifestyle.
Instead of focusing only on power and speed, the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition is built around a refined design philosophy. Inspired by the Japanese principles of Kanso (clarity and essentiality) and Yugen (subtle beauty), it combines clean, flowing exterior lines with a calm, balanced interior. For owners and guests, that means a space that feels soothing, elegant and effortlessly modern, whether you’re cruising a sun-drenched coastline or relaxing at the dock.
Sport-luxury design for long weekends at sea
On the outside, the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition stands out immediately with its Bleu Abysse hull colour — a deep, elegant shade that gives the yacht a strong, instantly recognisable presence in the marina. Its low, elongated, sporty profile echoes Alpine’s design codes while preserving the Gran Turismo 50’s identity as an easy-to-live-with sport-cruiser. Wide, fluid passages keep movement on deck relaxed and natural, ideal for families or friends moving between the cockpit, lounge and swim platform.
Step inside, and the Alpine influence appears in carefully placed details rather than loud branding. Refined textures, carbon-inspired accents and a customised steering wheel transform the helm into a true driver’s cockpit, precise and intuitive for the person at the wheel. Soft ambient lighting, balanced proportions and a serene colour palette in the cabins help create that “exhale and unwind” feeling as soon as you close the door behind you.
3 ways this yacht elevates your time on the water
- It turns every weekend cruise into a design experience, from the iconic Bleu Abysse hull to the car-inspired helm.
- It keeps life on board effortless, with a layout that naturally connects interior and exterior spaces for socialising, dining and sunbathing.
- It delivers a sense of exclusivity, thanks to more than 300 bespoke components developed specifically for this limited edition.
From Paris to Boot Düsseldorf and beyond
The world premiere at the Paris Nautic Show (26–30 November, Parc des Expositions, Paris-Le Bourget) is just the beginning of this French sport-luxe story. Visitors can discover the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition on the BENETEAU x Alpine stand in Hall 3 and feel the collaboration up close, from the textures to the cockpit setup. For enthusiasts who also follow automotive trends, the show will additionally host the all-new Alpine A390 electric sport fastback, making its first major appearance in front of the general public after orders opened in France in early November.
In early 2026, the adventure moves north to Germany, where the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition will be showcased at Boot Düsseldorf, one of Europe’s most important boat shows. For European boaters, that offers another chance to step on board, imagine their summer routes and get a feel for how the yacht fits into their own lifestyle — whether that means quick coastal hops or longer holiday cruises.
Why this collaboration matters for design lovers
Behind the scenes, this project brought together highly skilled teams from both brands who adapted automotive materials to the marine environment and created more than 300 bespoke components. It was an industrial challenge, but also a creative playground that pushed both worlds to think differently about performance, comfort and aesthetics. For future owners, that translates into a yacht that feels coherent, not gimmicky — a genuine meeting of heritage and innovation.
If you’re someone who loves the idea of a “dream garage” that includes both a performance car and a sport-luxury yacht, the Gran Turismo 50 Alpine limited edition is an invitation to live that vision on the water. It respects the roots of both BENETEAU and Alpine while offering something refreshing: a boat that’s as emotionally engaging to look at as it is relaxing to live with.
