Jeanneau Unveils Sea Loft 480 at ITB Berlin

Jeanneau has entered the hospitality sector with the launch of the Sea Loft 480, a floating villa concept designed for hotels and resorts seeking new guest experiences in coastal destinations. The new range was officially unveiled at ITB Berlin 2026, the international travel and tourism trade show held from March 3 to 5.

The Sea Loft 480 reflects Jeanneau’s move beyond traditional boating markets into the hospitality industry, where hotels are increasingly looking for ways to diversify their offerings and generate new revenue streams.

Hospitality—especially in seaside destinations—is undergoing a profound transformation. Properties are looking to enhance the guest experience while developing new revenue drivers beyond traditional accommodations. At Jeanneau, we identified a natural convergence between our nautical expertise and these new expectations in the hospitality sector, which is why we are launching the Sea Loft range.

Designed as a Hospitality Asset

The Sea Loft 480 has been conceived as a floating hospitality platform intended to extend a hotel’s guest experience onto the water. Hotels can offer the space for daytime use, evening events, or overnight stays, creating additional guest experiences while maintaining relatively simple operations.

The goal is to offer a hospitality solution that is easy to operate and value-generating, with maintenance that is far simpler and more accessible than that of a yacht, for example.

Official Launch at ITB Berlin

Jeanneau presented the Sea Loft 480 at the entrance of ITB Berlin 2026, positioning the concept directly in front of the global hospitality and tourism audience attending the event.

ITB is the leading international trade show for the travel and hospitality industry. It is the ideal venue to introduce Sea Loft as a dedicated solution for hotels and to initiate concrete projects in major tourist destinations

Floating Villa for Hospitality Experiences

Designed as a floating villa, the Sea Loft 480 can host a range of hospitality experiences. These include private moments on the water, wellness activities at sea, exclusive day charters, and private events. Integrated into the wider hotel environment, the platform aims to extend a resort’s guest offering beyond traditional accommodation.

Jeanneau is inviting hospitality and tourism professionals to visit Hall 27 – Stand 312 at ITB Berlin to explore the concept and discuss potential projects in major tourist destinations.

Further hospitality-focused events are planned in Cannes in April and Tortola in May.
