In 2026, the Cannes Yachting Festival will feature nearly 535 motor boats, with nearly 120 world premieres, highlighting cutting-edge innovation, design, and performance.
The Cannes Yachting Festival is an unmissable event on the international yachting calendar that celebrates innovation, design and performance every year. Motor boats occupy a major place at the show, whether monohulls or multihulls, rigid hulls or semi-rigid hulls. Exhibited between the Vieux Port and Port Canto, they make up an exceptionally rich offer, allowing visitors to explore new horizons. Boating enthusiasts’ uses and expectations are driven by the same desire: to cruise with greater peace of mind, further, more freely and at their own pace depending on their boat. This aspiration is reflected in increased focus on autonomy, long cruises, opening up spaces towards the sea, customisation of fittings and respect for the environment. This makes the boat a genuine living space, where the journey counts as much as the destination.
For the 2026 edition, nearly 535 new motor boats from 3 to 50 metres long are expected, including nearly 120 world premieres. The Vieux Port will accommodate a prestigious selection of boats from 12 to 50 metres long in water, as well as equipment manufacturers, marinas and service companies. It will also be home to the Power Cat Village, which will bring together around thirty of the most innovative power catamarans on the market. In Port Canto, the Power Boat Marina will bring together nearly 180 dayboats and other power boats up to 13 metres long.
“Motor boats are central at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Exhibited between the Vieux Port and Port Canto, dayboats, semi-rigid boats, catamarans and superyachts demonstrate the exceptional diversity of the offer presented. The many innovations unveiled this year, including almost 120 world premieres, allow visitors to see the major developments in the sector, in terms of performance, comfort, design and innovation,” explains Constance Brément, Director of the Cannes Yachting Festival. Setting course for sixteen exceptional yachts, signed by prestigious shipyards from France to Slovenia via Turkey, to discover as world premieres from 8 September, in the Vieux Port and Port Canto:
AZIMUT YACHTS : GRANDE 44M
A true flagship of the Azimut fleet, the Grande 44M redesigns the superyacht through a fluid silhouette, fourdeck design and a particular focus on energy efficiency. Its Carbon-Tech technology helps to reduce the weight of the
body while maintaining volumes and stability on board.
CANTIERE DEL VYBE : VYBE 43
A new arrival in the world of luxury yachting, the Vybe 43 inaugurates the Cantiere del Vybe range with a unique
approach to the power catamaran. Its compact proportions allow it to offer the advantages of a double hull while
maintaining a width comparable to a monohull, making it easier to access standard port spaces, and opening up more possibilities for stopovers and cruising projects. Designed by Adam Younger, it combines stepped hulls, reverse bows and carbon reinforcements with a refined interior by Abbasli Design, with two cabins, each with their own bathroom.
BREVA MARINE : BREVA 1300
The BV1300 marks a new milestone in Breva Marine’s development by putting configuration freedom at the heart of
the seafaring experience. Its modular cockpit offers four layouts, from the fully open deck to the convivial Social
Lounge, through to the Comfort Cruiser and the Sun Deck, while every detail can be tailored together with the owner by the shipyard’s in-house design studio. This philosophy extends indoors, where the spaces adapt to different needs, from day trips to overnight cruising.
SACS MARINE : HYPER 5S
Sacs Marine opens a new chapter in the world of maxi-RIBs with the Hyper 5S. Its design by Christian Grande combines a flush deck, folding side terraces and smooth circulation to amplify the feeling of space on board.

GREENLINE YACHTS : GREENLINE 50 FLY
The Greenline 50 Fly marks a new milestone for Greenline Yachts by revisiting the Greenline 48 experience with more space, comfort and freedom on board. On the main deck, the cockpit, saloon and helm station are organised on the same level to create natural flow, while the flybridge forms a second outdoor space open to seascapes, providing more comfort and space for extended cruises. An optional skipper cabin completes the layout designed for comfortable, relaxed cruising.
YOT POWER CATAMARANS : YOT 53
Disruptive and uninhibited, the YOT 53 brings a new vision of the power catamaran. Its fully open cockpit, tilting door open to the sea, fold-out terraces and seamless circulation create an experience as close to the elements as possible. The owner’s suite has a private terrace at the front, while the rooftop provides ample space for soaking up the sun, enjoying a meal and cruising. Between interior and exterior, this means the YOT 53 enhances an open, social experience firmly focused on the sea.
PIONEER YACHTS : PY60
The PY60 is Pioneer Yachts’ first solar-electric catamaran and the German boat builder’s flagship model.

The result of Dixon Yacht Design founder Bill Dixon working with Kelly Hoppen, the Pearl 73 builds on the success of the Pearl 72 with a sleeker, sharper exterior.

CNB LAGOON POWER : EIGHTY 3
Between the heritage of Lagoon expertise and freedom of customisation, the EIGHTY 3, the big brother of the EIGHTY 2 in its motor yacht version, embodies a power catamaran design based on comfort, openness and customisation. Its rear cockpit open to the sea, modular platform, customisable flybridge and front cockpit add to the living spaces facing the ocean. Inside, large panoramic glass windows, the singlelevel saloon and the owner’s suite with private terrace make up a bespoke experience, enriched with integrated solar panels and the use of a low carbon footprint resin.
OUTER REEF YACHTS : OUTER REEF YXT 27
The 27 YXT combines the qualities of an exploration yacht with the versatility of a support vessel. Designed for long-range navigation, it provides large, modular deck spaces that can accommodate a wide variety of equipment and boats. Its 360° visibility bridge and beach club with a transformable platform further enhance the versatility of this yacht designed to accompany all sea adventures.
SUNREEF YACHTS : ULTIMA 88
The latest model in the ULTIMA range, the Sunreef ULTIMA 88 is a power catamaran that combines the stability and volumes of multihulls with a sporty profile inspired by monohulls. Its design combines large outdoor spaces, refined interiors, highperformance hybrid propulsion and ultra-light, thin and flexible solar panels. This yacht provides a more open and freer way of experiencing life on the sea, while also being part of a more efficient approach to cruising, one of which tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has chosen to order.

responsible navigation, with freedom to explore without limits. Designed by Stefano Righini based on Paolo Vitelli’s
vision, this yacht stands out with its modular architecture, which multiplies configuration possibilities and optimises
every space on board.
