All-new Caribbean 40F revealed ahead of 2026 Sanctuary Cove debut

The Australian-built Caribbean 40F will make its global debut at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show

Caribbean has unveiled the 40F Flybridge, a new model that will sit within its flybridge convertible range and is set to make its public debut at the 2026 Sanctuary Cove Boat Show.

The 40F introduces a new exterior design direction for the brand’s flybridge line-up, with Caribbean saying it marks the start of a refreshed styling approach for future models.

The boat is built on what the company describes as an updated hull platform focused on offshore stability and predictable handling across a range of conditions. Caribbean says the design is intended to support both relaxed cruising and higher-speed offshore running.

Development of the model has drawn on design and manufacturing input from within the broader Maritimo group, following Maritimo’s acquisition of Caribbean in 2025. The companies have positioned the 40F as a blue-water capable cruiser aimed at a mix of extended coastal passages, offshore trips and family use.

Inside, the layout has been designed around contemporary finishes and integrated systems, with a focus on usability and onboard functionality for longer stays aboard.

Alongside the 40F, Caribbean is also introducing a new brand logo featuring an updated eagle motif, as well as a redesigned website aimed at presenting its model range and brand history in a more modern format.

Maritimo marketing manager Simon Stewart said the response to the project had been strong ahead of its global reveal.

The Caribbean 40F, along with the smaller 27F, will be officially launched at SCIBS 2026, held from 21 to 24 May.

Caribbean was founded in Melbourne in 1958 and has long been associated with fibreglass boatbuilding in Australia, particularly in the flybridge and offshore cruiser segments.
