Beneteau Makes its Debut as a Constructor at The Toronto International Boat Show

December 23, 2025

For the first time, Beneteau is pleased to announce its presence as a constructor at the Toronto International Boat Show, taking place January 17–25, 2026. This major Canadian event marks an exciting milestone for the brand as it continues to expand its footprint across North America and strengthen its connection with boaters in the region.

Representing Beneteau at the show will be two of its distinguished Canadian partners: Maple Leaf Marinas and Boisvert Marine. Their expertise and dedication exemplify the strong dealer network supporting Beneteau’s growth in North America.

Located at Booth #144, Beneteau will present two models making their first appearance at the Toronto show: the ALL-NEW Antares 9 and the Flyer 8 SUNDECK. Both are emblematic of Beneteau’s commitment to delivering versatile, comfortable, and refined boats designed for memorable moments on the water—values echoed throughout previous model launches.

With its modern profile and thoughtful layout, the Antares 9 is one of the newest models in family cruising, offering comfort, protection, and smart innovations for weekend adventures. Complementing it, the Flyer 8 SUNDECK brings BENETEAU’s signature blend of style and performance to the day boating segment, delivering both versatility and ease of use for active boaters.

Visitors are warmly invited to discover these models up close and meet the Beneteau team along with our dealer partners. We look forward to welcoming guests aboard and sharing the spirit of innovation, comfort, and design that defines the Beneteau experience.
