Sunreef Yachts at the Cannes Yachting Festival with the highly anticipated world premiere of the ULTIMA 88. Following its exclusive preview at the Singapore Yachting Festival, the new catamaran will be on display in Cannes throughout the entire event.

The world debut follows the recent announcement that Spanish tennis champion Carlos Alcaraz has chosen the ULTIMA 88 as his first yacht, further confirming how the new generation of owners is increasingly looking for shipyards capable of combining cutting-edge design with outstanding performance.

Designed for those seeking exceptional comfort without sacrificing speed and efficiency, this Sunreef Yachts introduces a cutting-edge approach to modern naval architecture. One of the most distinctive features of ULTIMA 88 is the Ocean Lounge, an innovative space created through large opening sidewalls and a spacious aft garage. This unique area delivers an exhilarating sea-level experience, offering a direct connection with the water and highly versatile spaces for relaxation and entertainment.

Among the most anticipated novelties of this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival is undoubtedly the Alpha 45, the brand new sport dayboat from Technohull aimed at redefining the concept of performance in the luxury open boat segment.

Alongside it, at Stand TENDER 115, will also be the flagship of the yard, the Alpha 50, a perfect synthesis of Technohull’s philosophy, where performance, reliability, and refinement merge into an impeccable balance.

Alpha 45: the new icon of performance at sea

With its 13.80 meters in length, the Alpha 45 strategically fits between the Alpha 40 and the flagship Alpha 50, inheriting Technohull’s sporting legacy and reinterpreting it in a new high-performance open boat designed to tackle offshore navigation uncompromisingly, while also ensuring comfort and great versatility for everyday use.

In its most performance-oriented configuration, equipped with four 500-horsepower outboard engines, the Alpha 45 can reach a maximum speed of 85 knots, maintaining perfectly stable and safe behavior even in the most challenging sea conditions.

Among the most distinctive elements of the project is the hard top. Its aerodynamic profile, completed by a large panoramic glass windshield and integrated side deflectors in the console, optimizes airflow around the helm station, reducing turbulence during high-speed navigation.

The deep V Dynastream hull, characterized by ventilated steps and a wave-piercing bow, has been developed to ensure brilliant acceleration, steering precision, and excellent sea-keeping even in the most challenging offshore navigation. The helm reflects the same design philosophy: two rows of seats with three places each position the driver centrally, ensuring complete visibility and immediate access to all controls.

The deck layout has also been designed with flexibility in mind. The spacious U-shaped bow sunbathing area is complemented by a forward-facing seat integrated into the central console, while the walkaround side deck allows for free movement along the entire boat. At the stern, various configurations are available, with sunbathing areas of different sizes alongside seats facing forward or an elegant L-shaped sofa that facilitates lateral access to the swim platform.

The interior spaces impress with their livability and finishes. A dramatic “gullwing” side door, electrically operated, leads to the cabin below deck, designed to comfortably accommodate two people. Here, there is a double bed, a separate full-height bathroom with a shower, and particularly generous internal height, features that make the Alpha 45 ideal for multi-day cruises.

The model displayed at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 will feature a refined white livery, equipped with three Mercury 400R outboards and characterized by a decidedly sporty setup, with a large sunbathing area at the stern and a single row of three seats at the helm.

Paris Nautic Show continues its development and reaffirms its ambitions for 2026 after the success of the first edition at the Exhibition Center of Paris-Le Bourget, held last year, which saw the presence of 40,000 visitors, and is relaunching its ambitions for the next edition.

“Our goal is to consolidate a strategic appointment in the heart of the first French nautical market. We want to accompany the transformation of the sector, creating new concrete opportunities for both companies and boaters.” — Guillaume Verbrugghe, General Director of M2 Organisation.

Paris Nautic Show in the heart of the Paris region represents a unique competitive advantage in the European landscape. The Paris basin indeed concentrates over a third of regular French boaters, confirming itself as a strategic hub. Furthermore, the choice of Paris-Le Bourget ensures ideal logistics from an international perspective, thanks to the quick connection to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Networking, discussion, and the birth of new commercial agreements between shipyards, component manufacturers, federations, and associations are the keywords to give dynamism to the sector and guide it through the challenges of a constantly evolving market.

Paris Nautic Show, space for sustainability and the boating of tomorrow

The nautical sector is at the center of a profound change, accelerated by the need to respond to the climate crisis and the change in consumption habits. The essential responsibility for change is no longer an option for the future, but a present imperative that is redefining the criteria for a less invasive impact on the marine environment and the entire production cycle.

Paris Nautic Show will dedicate an unprecedented focus on decarbonization and the circular economy applied to leisure boating, addressing the three major challenges of the sector, with significant emphasis on next-generation electric motors, advanced hybrid systems, and the first concrete applications of hydrogen, as well as the reduction of the carbon footprint of hulls, presenting bio-derived composites (such as flax or hemp fibers).

The show also firmly maintains its historical link with the world of ocean racing and offshore sailing, just think of the legendary Route du Rhum or the Vendée Globe or the Transat Jacques Vabre (coffee route), a sector that represents a true open-air laboratory, where solutions tested in competition regarding lightweight materials, hydrodynamic performance, and energy autonomy are then applied to series production, exporting French technological excellence worldwide.

Lagoon once again redefines comfort at sea, focusing on expansive living spaces and effortless handling with the new Lagoon 38, which we had the opportunity to sea trial over the past few days.

Today, the Lagoon range extends from accessible, compact models like the new Lagoon 38 all the way to the ultimate luxury of the flagship EIGHTY 2, a 23.91-meter (78’5″) giant of the seas. Founded in 1984 as JTA (Jeanneau Techniques Avancées), the company originally served as the technology and racing division of the renowned French shipyard Jeanneau. With more than 7,000 units built, Lagoon is now the world’s leading catamaran manufacturer.

Lagoon 38 features an overall length of 13.12 meters (43’1″) and a beam of 6.65 meters (21’10”), dimensions that make it exceptionally easy to handle. With this model, Lagoon has simplified onboard sail handling as much as possible. At the bow, the boat is equipped with a self-tacking jib, while every sail control is managed through a single winch located on the coachroof next to the helm station. Here you’ll find the halyards and control lines led aft through rope clutches, the Garmin display, and the twin 29 HP engines’ throttle controls.

The T-top features a fabric enclosure that can be fully closed whenever needed, providing protection from cold weather. The helm console is comfortable and includes a double seat offering excellent visibility over the entire boat. Unfortunately, during our sea trial the optional Code 0 sail was not installed, even though the Lagoon 38 is designed to accommodate it.

Weather Conditions and Handling

Today’s conditions feature a slight chop with winds peaking between 13 and 15 knots—ideal for a relaxed sea trial. We leave the dock using the twin engines with complete ease. Despite the Lagoon 38’s generous 6.65-meter (21’10”) beam, the independently controlled throttles allow the catamaran to pivot within a surprisingly tight radius. That’s a major advantage, because docking and departing can often be the most challenging part of operating a catamaran due to its width. Once clear of the harbor, we unzip the lazy bag, attach the main halyard, and hoist the mainsail using the electric winch. Deploying the self-tacking jib is just as quick and effortless: simply load the sheet onto the winch and trim it in by hand, without even needing a winch handle.

What immediately impresses me about the Lagoon 38 is just how easy it is to sail and maneuver. There are three of us on board, yet I can perform every operation by myself without asking for assistance or leaving the helm. When necessary, I can also rely on the autopilot to hold course while I stow the fenders or make adjustments to the sails.

The foredeck offers an impressive amount of living space, with a large trampoline, two comfortable lounges complete with chaise longues, a centrally positioned anchoring system, and the classic forward seats where you can sit back and enjoy the view while underway. I head up to approximately 80 degrees true wind angle (TWA), steering a true course of175 degrees. With 14.1 knots of true wind, the boat logs 6.4 knots through the water—not bad at all considering we’re sailing with only the self-tacking jib.

At this speed, the Lagoon 38 delivers an excellent ride. It remains well-balanced over the waves without excessive rolling. I then bear away, easing both the mainsail and jib on my own, and set a heading of 300 degrees. The actual course over ground settles at 299 degrees due to slight current and leeway. With the true wind angle now at 135 degrees, the GPS shows a speed over ground (SOG) of 5.0 knots, while the log reads 4.5 knots through the water, indicating we’re benefiting from a favorable current.

I return to a beam reach to build speed again, and once we’re back to around 6 knots I tack fairly quickly to minimize speed loss. With a light displacement of 10.24 tons, the Lagoon 38 rewards smooth, efficient maneuvers, especially in lighter winds where preserving momentum is essential.

The Lagoon 38 really comes into its own on reaching angles, with the wind between 90 and 140 degrees off the bow. The boat feels extremely stable, glides effortlessly, and with a healthy breeze of 12 to 15 knots or more comfortably maintains speeds between 6 and 8 knots with virtually no heel or strain. Its sweet spot is around 55 to 60 degrees to the true wind; try pointing higher, around 40 to 45 degrees, and boat speed begins to drop. The sail plan is intentionally conservative, making the boat remarkably forgiving and difficult to overpower, even for cruising families or less experienced sailors. As mentioned earlier, all sail controls are led aft to the helm station, allowing every maneuver to be performed safely from a single position. Under power, the twin 29 HP engines cruise comfortably at around 2,200 to 2,400 rpm, pushing the boat at approximately 6.5 to 6.8 knots with an excellent cruising stride while consuming just 3.5 to 4 liters per hour combined—an impressively efficient figure.

Lagoon 38 – Interior

The Lagoon 38 is available in more than ten different layout configurations to suit a wide range of cruising styles. Buyers can choose a four-cabin, four-head version or the owner’s layout, where one entire hull is dedicated to a spacious private suite. The cockpit is exceptionally roomy, and the large sliding glass door seamlessly connects the cockpit with the salon, creating one continuous living space while eliminating barriers and making movement throughout the boat remarkably fluid.

Although compact by today’s multihull standards, the Lagoon 38 proves that exceptional comfort doesn’t require excessive length. Its intelligent use of both interior and exterior space, combined with the seaworthiness that has enabled hundreds of families to embark on bluewater adventures, makes it a standout cruising catamaran. At the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, Lagoon will showcase its entire range and will also unveil the all-new Lagoon 47 in its world premiere.

Baltic 80 Café Racer represents a completely new concept, optimized for easy handling, with or without professional crew, ensuring excellent performance and maneuverability.

Baltic 80 Café Racer follows the success of the fleet Baltic 68 Café Racer which has elevated the very concept of speed and style in the realm of large luxury daysailers. Through feedback from owners and experience, the Baltic Yacht team has gone back to work to further improve a winning concept.

While remaining true to the concepts of safety and sailing performance of a true rebel, the Baltic 80 Café Racer features an overall length of under 24 meters, allowing owners to sail without crew, and will also have the option to be configured with two different sail plans, one for cruising and one for racing, a dual soul balancing speed and relaxation.

BALTIC 80 Café Racer, rebellious soul and classy interiors

The interiors are designed for maximum flexibility, allowing the owner to decide how to live on board, the first hull that Baltic Yachts is building will have an “open” layout with spacious living areas and an informal environment. Alternative layouts allow for greater definition and a more informal connotation depending on needs.

Interior designer Mark Tucker of Design Unlimited explains “It shows how safe and expressive this concept can be, and invites the next owner to take it in a completely personal direction. Ultimately, the goal is to make the simple act of sailing easier and more enjoyable“»”.

Developed by Surge Projects, the Café Racer 80 has been shaped through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis combined with aerodynamic data from the virtual wind tunnel of North Sails. A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP (performance prediction program), where sail trim optimization showed the yacht’s behavior.

The choice of pre-impregnated carbon (prepreg) for the hull will further reduce the lightweight. Lamination will begin in August, after the Finnish summer holidays, and delivery is expected in the summer of 2027.

Sinuous and sophisticated, the lines immediately suggest a timeless elegance destined to stand out. But behind the elegant silhouette, the fluidity of the shapes and the low profile of the deck actually hide a soul dedicated to performance and a decidedly modern technical setup.

We are talking about Ouzel, the brand new superyacht measuring 95 feet born from the collaboration between the American shipyard Rockport Marine, Marine Construction Management (MCM), Langan Design Partners for naval architecture, and Mark Whiteley Design for interior design.

Designed as a true modern classic, Ouzel is a luxurious and comfortable sailing yacht that embodies a perfectly successful balance between traditional forms and contemporary performance with a precise and ambitious goal: to sail fast, with ease.

Ouzel: sea trials confirm the quality of the project

The sail plan, developed with Doyle Sails and deliberately essential — mainsail, Yankee, staysail, and Code Zero — has been designed to ensure efficiency and immediacy in every condition. Together with a deep keel and solutions like the Park Avenue boom, it defines a vessel capable of delivering real performance without compromising ease of handling.

It is therefore not surprising that during the sea trials in Penobscot Bay, Ouzel effortlessly exceeded 12 knots in moderate breezes, showing a surprising balance between power and control.

The designer Tom Degrémont, present on board, emphasized how the boat reacted exactly as the team expected: a feeling of power, immediate control, and an overall balance that fully reflects the work done during the design phase. In ideal conditions, the use of the Code Zero allowed for a quick crossing of the bay, confirming the performance objectives set from the beginning.

Also on the construction side, the judgment was equally positive. Peter Wilson of Marine Construction Management (MCM) described the launching of the sails as a highly significant moment after years of work, highlighting the quality of the team involved — from sailmakers to hydraulic technicians, from engineers to riggers — and defining the sea trial as a success from every point of view. The boat showed a “easy and super responsive” helm response, with only a minimal list of finishing touches, as is normal at this stage.

A key element of the project was the active role of the owner, involved as a true partner in all phases. Specifically, the owner opted for a configuration that allows for a greater draft to the benefit of performance, as well as a blade jib designed to replace the Yankee and staysail during close maneuvers or tight tacking.

Elegant and classic in form, Ouzel is not just a tribute to tradition, but a concrete evolution of it, designed to sail far, with speed, control, and a well-defined identity.
