At Cannes, the Italian shipyard unveils its new flagship: 13 metres of design, performance and maximum freedom of configuration. Following its world premiere, the BV1300 will also take centre stage at the Genoa International Boat Show alongside the BV630 and BV800.
Breva Marine has chosen the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, taking place from 8 to 13 September, to unveil the new BV1300 in a world premiere: the largest and most ambitious model ever built by the Italian shipyard. With an overall length of 12.73 metres and a beam of 4.06 metres, the BV1300 marks a new milestone in Breva Marine’s growth and brings the brand’s distinctive philosophy to the maxi-RIB segment: Italian design, performance, comfort and, above all, freedom of configuration. Breva has developed an extremely versatile product, designed to adapt to the way each owner wants to experience the sea.
One BV1300, multiple ways to experience it
One of the defining features of the new BV1300 is its innovative modular cockpit, developed to offer four different deck configurations.
- OPEN: Aconfiguration with a completely open cockpit, designed for those who want maximum space on board. A solution particularly suited to sport fishing, transporting and stowing equipment, or professional use.
- SOCIAL LOUNGE: The configuration most focused on conviviality, featuring a large U-shaped dinette. A space designed to welcome guests and enjoy shared moments on board, from sunset aperitifs to dinner at sea.
- COMFORT CRUISER: A configuration with integrated seating, designed to provide greater comfort for passengers both while cruising and during moments of relaxation.
- SUN DECK: The version dedicated to those who want to enjoy the sea in complete freedom, with generous sunbathing areas and a cockpit transformed into a spacious sun pad offering ample room to stretch out and enjoy the sun.
The four configurations, however, do not limit customisation. Thanks to Breva Marine’s in-house design studio, each layout can be further developed together with the owner. Seating, materials, space planning and accessories can all be adapted to suit the client’s aesthetic and functional requirements. The result is a boat that does not ask the owner to adapt to a predefined configuration. Quite the opposite: it is designed to adapt to the owner’s own way of experiencing the sea.
The interiors also adapt to the owner’s needs
The same philosophy of flexibility continues below deck. The BV1300 can be configured for maximum liveability, with two double beds, a bathroom with separate shower, and a bright and welcoming living area. Large forward windows increase natural light and the perception of space, while the choice of materials combines durability, elegance and contemporary style. Alternatively, for owners who favour day cruising or require greater storage capacity, the aft cabin can be converted into a large storage and luggage compartment while retaining the main forward cabin. This choice further expands the BV1300’s range of uses: from overnight cruising to long days at sea with family and guests, through to configurations where storage capacity becomes the priority.
An italian project growing through collaboration
In building its identity, Breva Marine has chosen to work alongside selected partners: leading companies in their respective fields, united by a shared focus on quality, innovation and reliability. The BV1300 is also the result of this collaborative philosophy, bringing together different skills and technologies with one common goal: to offer owners an increasingly complete, high-performance and customizable cruising experience. The project involves major names from the marine industry, including Mercury and Yamaha for engines, Garmin and Raymarine for electronics, Spradling and MDU for upholstery, and Treemme for taps and fittings, each contributing its specific know-how to different areas of the project. Particular attention has also been paid to the interiors, where TREEMME taps and fittings add a further element of Italian design and quality, in harmony with the contemporary style chosen for the BV1300’s interior spaces. For Breva Marine, working with specialized companies is not simply a matter of sourcing components; it is part of a design philosophy focused on identifying reliable, innovative solutions consistent with the brand’s positioning.
From product to the Breva experience
Alongside its technical collaborations, Breva Marine develops partnerships that also express the more emotional side of the brand and a genuine lifestyle connected to the sea. At the Cannes Yachting Festival, Breva Marine will be joined by RIVO GIN, the brand’s official partner and a key presence at the Breva Experience events dedicated to clients, dealers, press and international guests. Every evening from 6:00 pm, the Breva stand will become a meeting place where visitors can discover the new range, meet the team and enjoy the Cannes sunset with a Gin & Tonic by RIVO GIN. A way of telling the Breva story not only through its boats, but through an experience and a distinctive way of living the sea.
The BV1300 takes centre stage at the major 2026 boat shows
Following its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the journey of the new BV1300 will continue in Italy. From 1 to 6 October 2026, Breva Marine will attend the Genoa International Boat Show, where the BV1300 will be displayed alongside the BV630 and BV800. Genoa will give the Italian public, industry professionals and the press the opportunity to discover not only the new flagship, but the entire Breva Marine range, comparing three models with different sizes and uses yet sharing the same design identity. The joint presence of the BV630, BV800 and BV1300 will also visually tell the story of the shipyard’s evolution and the growth journey that, in just a few years, is taking Breva Marine towards an increasingly broad and comprehensive range.
The BV1100 arrives in 2027
Cannes and Genoa are two key milestones in Breva Marine’s journey, but the shipyard’s growth does not stop here. With the new year, the range is preparing to welcome another important addition: the BV1100. A completely new project, designed to sit between the BV800 and the flagship BV1300, bringing the elements that are defining Breva’s DNA into this segment as well: Italian design, performance, comfort, modularity and customisation. With the arrival of the BV1100, Breva Marine will continue building an increasingly complete range, capable of accompanying different ways of experiencing the sea while maintaining an immediately recognizable stylistic and design identity. The first details of the new model will be unveiled in the coming months.
