2026 NAVAN C30 – 43 Hours – Highly Specified
A rare opportunity to step into an exceptionally well-specified, near-new 2026 NAVAN C30 without the wait for a new boat.
Built in September 2025 and delivered in January 2026, this C30 has travelled just 43 hours and presents as new. It has been professionally maintained from delivery and comes with the remainder of the applicable NAVAN and Mercury factory warranties, making it well worth considering for anyone currently looking at a new adventure boat.
At 10.23m, the C30 brings a fresh approach to the increasingly popular European adventure-boat category. Rather than simply following the established formula, NAVAN was developed following extensive consumer research, with a focus on improving performance, versatility, comfort, use of space and ease of ownership.
The result is a boat that feels remarkably well thought through. There are excellent social spaces forward and aft, generous storage and technical access, a fully enclosed pilothouse, comfortable overnight accommodation, an enclosed head and shower, and genuinely useful galley and exterior preparation areas.
It’s equally at home exploring the harbour for the day, entertaining family and friends, fishing or heading away for a weekend.
Performance and handling
One of the C30’s standout characteristics is how flat and stable it feels underway.
NAVAN’s stepped hull combines with an excellent Zipwake automatic trim control system, which continuously manages pitch and roll as speed, loading and conditions change. The result is an impressively composed boat that requires very little intervention from the helm to maintain an efficient and comfortable running attitude.
Power comes from twin Mercury 225hp outboards, currently showing just 43 hours.
Indicative performance recorded on this boat includes:
- 25 knots at 3,800 rpm
- 32 knots at 4,600 rpm
- 35 knots at 5,100 rpm with the engines fully down
- 44 knots at 5,800 rpm with the engines trimmed out
That gives the C30 a particularly useful performance envelope – relaxed and comfortable around the mid-20-knot cruising range, with plenty in reserve when conditions allow.
A bow thruster also makes close-quarters manoeuvring straightforward.

Backed by Brunswick
NAVAN may be a relatively new name in Australia, but the company behind it certainly isn’t.
NAVAN is part of Brunswick Corporation, one of the world’s largest marine groups and the company behind some of the industry’s most established names, including Mercury Marine, Sea Ray and Boston Whaler.
That backing is significant in a segment populated largely by specialist European manufacturers. The C30 combines a distinctive European-built adventure boat with the technology, engineering resources and marine infrastructure of the wider Brunswick group.
A compelling alternative to new
With its 2026 model year, only 43 engine hours, extensive factory option list and near-new presentation, this C30 represents a compelling alternative for anyone currently considering a new boat in this category.
It offers the versatility and all-weather capability that has made European adventure boats so popular, but with a fresh-sheet approach to layout, usability and specification – together with the backing of one of the world’s largest marine companies.
The boat is located at The Spit, Mosman, Sydney and is available for inspection and sea trial by appointment.
