Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: here are the 16 most interesting new motor yachts

535 new motorboats from 3 to 50 meters, including about 120 world premieres. The numbers alone reflect the scale of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 which will raise the curtain in just a few days (September 8-13), transforming the picturesque locations of Vieux Port and Port Canto into a true international showcase for boating.

Among the major debuts of this year’s edition, we present below the 16 most interesting yachts.

Vybe Shipyard – Vybe 43

Designed by Adam Younger with interiors by Abbasli Design, the Vybe 43 reinterprets the traditional concept of power cat, offering a solution that provides the advantages of a twin hull while maintaining a width similar to that of a normal monohull. The hulls are of the step type, the bow is inverted, while carbon reinforcements contribute to the robustness and consequent solidity of the construction.

Breva Marine – Breva 1300

The design philosophy of Breva Marine’s latest model revolves around the concept of versatility. The modular cockpit can indeed take on four different configurations to better adapt to the owner’s navigation needs: Open Deck, Social Lounge, Comfort Cruiser, and Sun Deck. The interiors are also designed to adapt to various uses, from short outings at sea to longer cruises, with a high level of customization entrusted to the shipyard’s internal design studio.

Sacs Marine – Hyper 5S

The new project by Christian Grande is characterized by the adoption of a flush deck, foldable side terraces, and extremely fluid circulation. The interiors offer generous volumes, with an owner’s cabin and modular spaces particularly dedicated to comfort and conviviality. Four propulsion configurations are available.

Greenline Yachts – Greenline 50 Fly

Evolution of the Greenline 48, the new model displayed at the Cannes Yachting Festival offers even more space and comfort. On the main deck, the cockpit, salon, and command station are arranged on the same level, creating a natural continuity between the different environments. The flybridge is also present, ideal for longer cruises. An option for a skipper cabin is also available.

YOT Power Catamarans – YOT 53

YOT 53 interprets the motor catamaran in a decidedly open key. The completely open cockpit, the swinging door to the sea, and the foldable terraces create a direct relationship with the water. The owner’s suite also has a private terrace at the bow, while the rooftop becomes a large space dedicated to relaxation, outdoor living, and navigation.

Pioneer Yachts – PY60

The new flagship is also the first solar-electric catamaran built by the German shipyard that will be presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The large photovoltaic roof, the maneuvering joystick, and the silent navigation combine with bright and open spaces, designed for long-duration cruises.

Anvera – Anvera 200-S Racing

The Anvera 200-S Racing marks the entry of the Italian shipyard into the hyperyacht segment. The construction is full-carbon, with top-of-the-line performance. The new yacht is produced in a very limited series.

Pearl Yachts – Pearl 73

Born from the collaboration between Bill Dixon and Kelly Hoppen, the Pearl 73 represents the evolution of the Pearl 72. The external profile becomes even sleeker and more decisive, while the interiors designed by Kelly Hoppen Interiors adopt a monochromatic setting, played on harmonious tones, material textures, and sculptural lines. The result is an elegant yet warm environment, built around life on board.

CNB Lagoon Power – EIGHTY 3

Older brother of the EIGHTY 2 in the motor yacht version, the Eighty 3 brings Lagoon’s experience into the segment of large motor catamarans along with a high degree of customization. The open aft cockpit towards the sea, the modular platform, the configurable flybridge, and the fore cockpit multiply outdoor spaces, while the interiors are characterized by large panoramic windows and an owner’s suite with a private terrace. Integrated solar panels and a low carbon footprint resin are also present.

Outer Reef Yachts – Outer Reef YXT 27

The Outer Reef YXT 27 combines the DNA of an explorer yacht with the versatility of a support vessel. Designed for long-range navigation, it features large modular decks with high stowage capacity. The helm offers 360-degree visibility, while the beach club with a transformable platform emphasizes the adventurous and multifunctional vocation of the vessel.

Sunreef Yachts – ULTIMA 88

The new power cat from Sunreef combines the volumes and stability of multihulls with the typically sporty character of monohulls. The exteriors are characterized by wide surfaces, while the interiors reflect a sophisticated elegance. The high-performance hybrid propulsion and ultra-light solar panels are the main distinguishing elements of the project.

Ferretti Group – Custom Line Navetta 35

A true home at sea. The exterior design is by Filippo Salvetti, while the interiors are the work of ACPV ARCHITECTS. Spread over three decks, it offers generous and bright environments, designed to maximize livability while maintaining high levels of privacy.

Sirena Marine – Sirena 118

With the Sirena 118, Sirena Yachts raises the bar even higher in the segment of large vessels. Made of composite, the project is signed by Germán Frers for the exterior lines and Cor D. Rover for the interiors. The significant volumes, contemporary lines, and wide freedom in configuring the spaces make it the ideal solution for long cruises.

Benetti – B.YOND 37M

At the base of the project is Benetti’s Voyager philosophy, developed to ensure efficiency, safety, and a decidedly more responsible navigation. Designed by Stefano Righini based on Paolo Vitelli’s vision, it uses a modular architecture that optimizes spaces, expanding configuration possibilities.

Amer Yachts – Amer Steel 42

It is the first yacht from the shipyard equipped with a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and Ice Class certification. Both the interiors and exteriors are designed by De Basto Design with the aim of offering an extremely comfortable, high-performing, and efficient yacht. The attention to sustainability is well expressed by the vessel’s range, which can reach up to 8900 nautical miles.

Azimut Yachts – Grande 44M

New flagship of the Azimut fleet, the Grande 44M combines four decks, a fluid profile, generous spaces, and great attention to energy efficiency. The Carbon-Tech technology allows for weight reduction of the hull and structure while maintaining volumes and stability.

The Cannes Yachting Festival is about to open its doors for an event that marks the first nautical appointment after the summer break, a show that continues to grow and invest in hospitality and services, with two ports involved, Port Canto and Vieux Port connected by shuttles on the water and continuously running shuttles allowing many visitors to see the bay of Cannes from a different perspective.
