Pershing presents the Pershing GTX90, the new model joins the Sport Utility Yacht range while maintaining all the features that have ensured the success of previous designs: comfort and performance, innovation and craftsmanship, and technology.

Pershing GTX90 is born from the collaboration between the design studio Vallicelli Design and the Engineering Department of the Group and is built at the Plug and Mould facility of Ferretti Group, combining cutting-edge technologies and artisanal mastery. As with previous models, the design of the Pershing GTX90 revolves around the concept of space. On the sundeck (sportsbridge), there is a surface of 33 m², which is 43% more spacious compared to the average of vessels in this category.

Exterior design of the Pershing GTX90

The exterior design is enhanced by the classic shade of Pershing Anniversary Silver, in line with the style that characterizes the GTX series. The almost vertical bow and the continuous and slightly convex bulwark line give the boat’s silhouette a sleek elegance and a sense of lightness, while maintaining the sporty DNA of the GTX line.

Another similarity between the new Pershing GTX90 and other models in the series is the aft area on the main deck, characterized by two foldable side terraces that open outward. Unlike previous models, the opening of the terraces is located at the maximum beam, right in the cockpit area, ensuring a total surface of 37 m². This space is completed by a practical garage, designed to accommodate a tender and a jet ski.

Interior design

The interior design and layout stand out for their functional aesthetics and superior comfort, designed to enhance the onboard living experience of the Pershing GTX90.

Main Deck: Access is through a wide five-panel door (one fixed and four opening), creating a unique and continuous environment between indoors and outdoors. The salon offers generous spaces. Aft, on the left side, there is an open kitchen enhanced by a highly elegant bar counter, while on the opposite side, the formal dining table can accommodate up to eight guests.

Lounge and Helm Area: The lounge area in the center of the boat is furnished with a large L-shaped sofa, which can be replaced by two separate sofas upon request. The helm station, at the bow of the main deck, is equipped with three comfortable armchairs and a double access to the side walkways, facilitating maneuvers and movement.

Lower Deck: The Pershing GTX90 features four cabins with four private bathrooms, the owner’s suite spans the full beam and is located in the center of the boat, while the VIP cabin is positioned at the bow. Completing the layout are two guest cabins, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds.

Sportsbridge: The spacious sports bridge is divided into three distinct areas: the sunbathing area at the stern, a dining area in the center of the boat protected by a generously sized hardtop, and the central helm station at the bow.

Propulsion and technology

Two MAN V12 2200 engines with 2,200 HP each, paired with two Castoldi TurboDrive 600 HCT waterjets propel the yacht to a maximum speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots (preliminary data).

Sun Odyssey 455, with the second model of the new generation, Jeanneau reaffirms its ambition: to offer much more than a sailing boat, a true benchmark for making miles. More than a boat, it is an invitation to travel, a promise of freedom and distant horizons. Presented at the Düsseldorf 2026 boat show, it immediately attracted great attention for its features.

This sailing yacht combines sophistication and simplicity, performance and pleasure of sailing. Easy and intuitive to handle for long voyages, the walk-around passage allows for easy access from bow to stern; the cockpit spaces, comparable to those of larger models, encourage sharing moments of great conviviality with family or friends.

These are the main aspects that coexist thanks to the design by Marc Lombard for the hull and external lines in collaboration with Jean-Marc Piaton (Piaton Yacht Design), who designed the interiors combining innovation and sophistication.

Marine and modern exterior of the new Sun Odyssey 455

A deck designed to simplify the life of the “sailor” with maneuvers led back to the cockpit, German mainsheet, and two winches near the two helms for sail adjustment. At the stern, there are two large seats for excellent comfort during navigation. The walk-around passages make it much easier to go to the bow, greatly increasing safety on board, especially when sailing in rough seas.

Thanks to its generous dimensions, the cockpit is a true open-air lounge; equipped with two extendable and lowerable tables that can become excellent sunbathing areas, a true space for relaxation and conviviality.

Elegant and ergonomic interiors

With the design chosen by the Jeanneau shipyard for the interiors, there is a clear intention to combine comfort and ergonomics. Entering below deck on our starboard side, there is a large chart table with seating, which can transform into a comfortable armchair with a headrest, useful for night watch shifts. On the starboard side, a U-shaped galley, opposite a large table that allows 8-10 people to dine comfortably. Large hatches and wide side windows provide plenty of light to this space, making it pleasant even when one is forced, due to bad weather, to live on the boat below deck.

The large owner’s cabin at the bow highlights the elegance and functionality sought in this model by the Jeanneau shipyard: a maxi-sized bed with ample passage around it, a dedicated bathroom with a separate shower, generous wardrobe on the right side, and drawers under the bed, these are some of the distinctive features of this Sun Odyssey 455.

Sail plan and Engine options of the Sun Odyssey 455

The standard version of this Sun Odyssey 455 is rigged with mainsail and genoa for a total of 103 square meters of sail area, but it can be rigged with a self-tacking jib for safe sailing with a reduced crew; two wheels and two rudders allow for precise navigation management even with large angles of heel.

The Sun Odyssey 455 wants to convey a strong message: the sea is even more beautiful when experienced together, fostering many moments of complicity and a sense of well-being.

Axopar 38 Sun Top is born with a clear idea, to share time at sea without visual and physical barriers between the driving position, the cockpit, and the aft deck.

The 38 Sun Top combines the hull of the 38 XC Cross Cabin (presented at Boot Düsseldorf 2026) with an open and sociable layout while maintaining maneuverability and livability; the driving console, dining, and relaxation coexist in a single continuous space, allowing the boat to adapt to the evolving day rather than imposing how it should be used.

Axopar 38 Sun Top, flexible and social cockpit

The central section offers one of the most modular seating solutions in its category. The cockpit can be configured from single driver seats to a forward-facing U-shaped sofa, which transforms into a sunbed thanks to an adjustable height electric table. A driver’s sofa with lift-up cushions and a reversible backrest allows the space to naturally shift between driving, dining, and relaxing. With optional seating on the gunwales, the cockpit accommodates up to 10 people. The aft deck further extends this livability: opening platforms for activities and alternative layouts for fender storage expand the usable area and bring people closer to the sea while allowing for excellent storage.

Although the 38 Sun Top has an “open” character, it remains true to every Axopar 38: a double-step V-hull with a sharp water entry, supported by an oversized stringer and transom system with structural rigidity and precise maneuverability at every speed. This same rigidity also contributes to noise reduction, creating a calmer onboard environment where conversation and relaxation are enjoyable even at cruising speeds.

“Boating has never been just about the journey, but about the people you share it with. The Axopar 38 Sun Top is built around this simple idea, offering owners the freedom to shape their experience on the water while remaining true to the performance and quality that define the range.” — Jan-Erik Viitala, Co-Founder, Axopar

The bow is designed as a true social space for sitting, dining, relaxing, or sunbathing, whether underway or at anchor. Below deck, the forward cabin inherits the increased internal height, the new kitchen module, and the optional enclosed bathroom with shower that make the Axopar 38 a practical vessel for longer stays and not just for day trips. The forward cabin is bright and open, thanks to skylights and the option of gullwing doors for natural light and ventilation.

In September 2026, there will be another novelty from Axopar, as the new Cross Top is set to be presented, characterized by a forward-leaning windshield for greater sun protection. Together, the three models will form a complete and distinct offering in style and layout while remaining true to the same DNA that characterizes the Axopar yard: drivability, usability, modularity, and long-term value.

JEANNEAU enters the luxury hotel sector with the new model SEA LOFT 480, designed to enhance the experience of hotel and resort guests, particularly in coastal areas.

“The hospitality industry, especially in beach destinations, is undergoing a major transformation. Establishments are looking to enrich the customer experience while developing new revenue streams beyond simple overnight stays. At Jeanneau, we have identified a natural convergence between our nautical know-how and these new expectations in the hospitality sector, which is why Jeanneau is launching the Sea Loft range,” explains Antoine Chancelier, Commercial Director of Jeanneau. “In the face of the evolution of the hospitality sector, establishments are seeking new experiences for their clientele looking for new exclusive lifestyle experiences. Thanks to its nautical expertise, Jeanneau has naturally identified this opportunity.”

Sea Loft 480, a tool designed for new horizons at sea

Conceived as a true hospitality tool, the Sea Loft allows establishments to naturally extend the customer experience on the water, offering the possibility to develop new uses (for days at sea, for an evening, or for an exclusive overnight stay), without the operational complexity associated with traditional boating. The launch of the Sea Loft 480 marks a historic turning point for the French shipyard Jeanneau, which for the first time steps outside the boundaries of traditional boating to enter the luxury hospitality sector.

Unlike a traditional vessel, the SEA LOFT 480 offers living spaces akin to a “floating villa” with truly significant living areas, with three main uses:

Day boat: private excursions, exclusive lunches at sea, sunset aperitifs

Wellness at sea: the SEA LOFT 480 can transform into a floating SPA where the customer can enjoy personalized treatments

Exclusive Overnight Stay: A true “hotel suite” on the water to offer a high-value micro-cruise or anchorage experience.

Hotel staff often lack the maritime skills to manage the complex operation of a vessel, which is why the positioning of the SEA LOFT 480 simplifies its integration within the existing services of hospitality, thanks to simplified boat maintenance that translates into lower costs, making the return on investment quicker.

Sunreef 100 Eco, launched the sailing catamaran by Sunreef Yachts that combines electric propulsion, advanced solar technology, and the freedom of sailing that redefines the superyacht experience.

This new revolutionary model from Sunreef represents a significant step forward in sustainable yachting, designed for owners seeking exceptional comfort, great autonomy, and energy independence.

Innovation and technology on board the Sunreef 100 Eco

This luxurious catamaran is powered by two 360 kW electric motors, a 770 kWh battery pack, and Sunreef Yachts patented solar energy system. The solar panels, integrated into the hulls, superstructure, and bimini, continuously generate clean energy while preserving the profile of the yacht. The design reflects the growing market interest in innovative technologies capable of enhancing the sailing experience.

Sunreef 100 Eco offers spacious and generous internal and external living areas. A vast Ocean Lounge creates a continuous connection with the sea, while a large garage, a storage compartment for diving equipment, and a dedicated storage for water toys provide ample space for water sports.

World premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show

The yacht is now entering the final fitting phase before sea trials and its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 from September 23 to 26.

“With the Sunreef 100 Eco, we are demonstrating that the future of superyachts can be both luxurious and responsible,” said Francis Lapp, Founder and President of Sunreef Yachts. “By combining electric propulsion, solar energy, and sailing efficiency, this yacht sets a new benchmark for clean sailing.”

With this new Sunreef 100 Eco, Sunreef Yachts continues to expand its range of sustainable luxury catamarans, offering owners new ways to explore destinations sustainably.

Greenline Yachts has nearly completed the construction process of the new model Greenline 50, with the launch expected at the end of summer in Portorož, Slovenia. The new model will replace the current Greenline 48, which has been one of the yard’s best-selling models for over a decade. Although the new vessel targets a similar market segment, it will be larger, sleeker, and will include a range of new features.

“I am very proud to be so close to the launch of the new Greenline 50“, said Vladimir Zinchenko, owner of Greenline Yachts. “It has always been part of our philosophy to build timeless boats on a robust and proven technical platform, so that each model has a long life cycle. The launch of a new model is therefore a rare event for Greenline Yachts, and an occasion filled with mixed emotions as we say goodbye to an old friend. However, we have done a fantastic job with the Greenline 50, and I am sure it will still represent a fundamental part of our range in a decade“.

Greenline 50, an eco-friendly heart and a great cruiser soul

Every new model learns from previous models, and this new arrival at Greenline is the natural evolution of the DNA of the Slovenian yard. Its high and secure sides, the dynamically streamlined superstructure towards the stern, the bright spaces, and the flexible hybrid engines represent the unmistakable style of Greenline Yachts. Additionally, like the Greenline 48, the new boat offers three versatile cabins that can be configured with single or double beds, and up to three bathrooms.

The first hull is under construction in the familiar “fly” version, with a generous flybridge. Along with the battery pack and solar panels, the onboard services of the vessel (hotel operations) can operate in silent electric mode for long periods, depending on environmental conditions. The system can be perfectly combined with the Greenline 6G hybrid propulsion or with efficient diesel engines.

“The new models from Greenline are proving to be a real success”, stated Alessandro Lorenzon, Global Business Director and Chief Experience Officer of Greenline Yachts. “They have introduced a new awareness of how onboard spaces add value to the sailing experience and have pushed us to make even greater efforts in terms of interior finishes. It was time for our mid-range vessel to receive this treatment, and that’s how the Greenline 50 was born“.

Some might say “the choice is yours!”, the new Greenline fully represents the yard’s philosophy that has been designing and building innovative and increasingly efficient boats for years thanks to technological progress.

A long and sleek profile, clean lines, expansive glass surfaces, and perfectly balanced proportions. These are the defining features of Alia Yachts’ latest creation, a yacht designed to captivate even the most discerning yacht owners.

Freshly launched in the waters of Antalya, the 45-metre GENIE BLU is a fully custom yacht that once again showcases the Turkish shipyard’s exceptional craftsmanship and its ability to transform bold ideas and highly personalized visions into true masterpieces of contemporary yacht design.

GENIE BLU: connecting with the sea

The result of a close collaboration between Alia Yachts’ in-house design team and Luca Dini Design & Architecture, which developed both the exterior and interior styling, GENIE BLU is built around a clear design philosophy: placing the sea at the heart of the onboard experience. It is an approach that departs from the prevailing trends in the superyacht sector, where maximizing interior volume often takes priority, instead focusing on the connection between guests, living spaces, and the marine environment.

“GENIE BLU turns traditional ideas of yacht design on their head – Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts – Rather than maximizing interior volume for its own sake, this project is about purity, proportion and the owner’s experience of the sea. Fully custom and refreshingly unconventional, GENIE BLU is exactly the kind of yacht we love to build at Alia. Working closely with the owner throughout this journey has been a privilege, and seeing her enter the water is a very proud moment for everyone involved”.

This philosophy is evident at first glance. The fold-down bulwarks, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and the absence of unnecessary design elements create a seamless dialogue between interior and exterior spaces, while the yacht’s understated elegance gives her a refined and contemporary presence.

The concept reaches its fullest expression in the main salon, where floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between inside and outside. Here, natural light floods the living spaces, enhancing the sophistication of the interiors and ensuring that the surrounding seascape remains the focal point of the onboard experience.

The same design philosophy has been applied to the exterior areas, which have been conceived to encourage a direct and continuous connection with the water. Aft, the cockpit lounge flows through a dramatic sequence of broad steps leading down to the swim platform, creating a natural transition between yacht and sea. This solution not only enhances the perception of space but also transforms the entire aft section into a true waterfront terrace.

The foredeck has likewise been designed as a dedicated relaxation area. A spacious lounge offers uninterrupted views of the horizon, providing the ideal setting for enjoying time underway or at anchor, while a discreet sunbathing area integrated into the superstructure further enhances the yacht’s outdoor living experience.

Behind the elegance of her lines lies a design process focused on essentiality and restraint: “The project is based on subtraction rather than addition – said Luca Dini – We removed barriers, reduced unnecessary volume and opened the yacht wherever possible. The objective was not to maximize gross tonnage, but to maximize the owner’s experience of the sea“.

With the launch of GENIE BLU, Alia Yachts adds another remarkable yacht to its custom-built portfolio and further strengthens its reputation as one of the most innovative shipyards in the bespoke superyacht sector.

The world of offshore sailing is preparing to welcome a project destined to rewrite the very concept of fast cruising. It is called VMG 53 and it is a 53-foot trimaran designed to combine hydrodynamic efficiency and the performance typical of modern trimarans with ample internal volumes, high livability, and the autonomy necessary to undertake long cruising transfers, according to the highest standards of the premium segment.

Currently under construction, the VMG 53 marks the official debut on the international nautical scene of the newly established shipyard VMG and is born with an ambitious vision: to make advanced multihull technology accessible to series production, without compromising on performance, safety, and quality of life on board.

VMG 53: the genesis

The idea of the VMG 53 takes shape in a context that is anything but theoretical: an offshore regatta off the New England coast, where the co-founders Michael Schwartz and Karl Reed first met as members of the same crew. After a particularly challenging crossing, the two began to discuss what the ideal yacht could be, sharing the belief that a sailor should not have to choose between speed, comfort, safety, and ease of handling.

That conversation on the open sea soon turned into a concrete challenge: was it possible to turn that vision into a real boat? To answer this question, Schwartz and Reed decided to involve some of the best professionals in the world in the fields of design, engineering, and shipbuilding. Three years ago, in Cape Town, South Africa, a project began to take shape that has progressively evolved into the current VMG 53, now in advanced stages of construction.

An ambitious philosophy

The shipyard is based in New York and presents itself as an international reality supported by an international team of sailors, designers, and nautical industry professionals. The very name of the brand, “Velocity Made Good,” refers to a technical concept in sailing: the ability to translate speed into real progress towards the destination.

A philosophy that also becomes a statement of intent: to optimize every design choice to achieve the maximum result in terms of efficiency, performance, and real use at sea.

To turn this vision into reality, VMG has chosen to collaborate with some of the most authoritative names in the international nautical scene, such as the renowned French studio VPLP Design for the naval design of the VMG 53, Christophe Chedal Anglay for the interior design, and Thorne Yacht Design for the engineering and technical development of the vessel.

Construction is underway at Evolution Marine Manufacturing in Cape Town, a specialist in the production of advanced composite hulls.

VMG 53: racing performance, yacht comfort

The VMG 53 is designed to offer the sensations of a true oceanic trimaran in terms of speed and efficiency, but with a level of comfort consistent with a modern luxury yacht.

Light lines, great hydrodynamic efficiency, and an offshore-oriented setup combine with internal spaces designed for long-range cruising.

The goal is not just to go faster, but to make sailing sustainable and comfortable even over long distances, without sacrificing ease of handling.

“From the beginning, our goal has been to create the boat that we ourselves would want to own – said Michael Schwartz – We believe we have the opportunity to combine world-class design, real offshore sailing capabilities, and authentic sailing performance in a way that has never been achieved before on a production trimaran. With the VMG 53 and the models that will follow, we want to make the most advanced technologies available today in the world of trimarans accessible to a wider audience.”

The first unit is expected to debut officially in January 2027, marking VMG’s entry into a segment where innovation, performance, and comfort finally seek a real balance.

680 exhibitors, 700 boats from 5 to 50 meters, 150 world premieres and 56,000 expected visitors. These are, in summary, the numbers promised by the Cannes Yachting Festival this year. Now in its 49th edition, the inaugural event of the global yachting season is set to return from September 8 to 13, 2026 in the beautiful setting of the French Riviera, confirming itself as the largest in-water show in Europe and one of the most strategic events in the industry worldwide.

Under the guidance of Constance Brément, whom we interviewed exclusively, the Cannes Yachting Festival opens a new chapter focused on continuity and revitalization, aiming to strengthen its international reach and amplify the experiential dimension of the event.

« In a constantly evolving context – commented Constance Brément – the Cannes Yachting Festival reaffirms its role as a strategic partner and a growth engine for the promotion of the international yachting sector. For this new edition, our mission remains to provide an exceptional framework to highlight the innovations in the sector and inaugurate the season. The quality of our offering, the commitment of our exhibitors, and the influx of qualified visitors from around the world form the foundations of the success of the Cannes Yachting Festival. This year, we are doing everything possible to celebrate yachting, shine a light on every segment, ensure a smooth path that invites discovery of the latest available innovations, and offer a visitor experience worthy of Cannes».

Two ports, new horizons to explore

As usual, this year the Cannes Yachting Festival will take place between the Vieux Port and Port Canto in Cannes, two complementary hubs that will allow visitors a smooth and immersive visiting experience.

Specifically, the Vieux Port will be the realm of motorboats from 12 to 50 meters, superyachts, flybridges, open boats, and trawlers. At the center of the scene will return the Power Cat Village dedicated to motor catamarans, while the new Jetée will offer a privileged showcase for yachts and motorboats. The large yachts will be concentrated along the Quai Max Laubeuf. Equipment suppliers of all kinds and service companies will also share the docks of this port, while the Palais will continue to enhance exceptional skills in yacht equipment and setup.

At Port Canto, on the other hand, there will be space for sailing and more compact units. Here, it will be possible to admire the largest global exhibition of sailing boats over 10 meters presented in water, with about 120 new models. Next to these, the Power Boat Marina will host about 180 dayboats up to 12-13 meters. There is also great anticipation for the Yacht Brokerage area, which this year promises one of the most significant offerings in recent years with over 45 yachts over 25 meters available on the luxury second-hand market.

Completing the path will be the Toys area and an increasingly efficient connection between the two ports thanks to maritime shuttles that will ensure departures every 15 minutes.

Innovation and sustainability at the center of the scene

If glamour remains one of the distinctive features of the Cannes Yachting Festival, the 2026 edition also dedicates special attention to innovation, the true engine of the sector.

The energy transition, digitalization, and simplification of the sailing experience will be the protagonists of the Innovation Route, the path dedicated to the most advanced technologies and sustainable solutions developed by shipyards and suppliers.

The Innovation Route Awards will also return, now in their second edition, which will reward the most innovative projects in the categories:

– Best equipment to optimize navigation;

– Best sustainable product;

– Best innovative boat;

– Best Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.

The finalists and winners will be revealed on Tuesday, September 8 during the Exhibitors’ Cocktail. The jury may also award a special prize for a particularly significant innovation.

Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: the exhibitors

The list of exhibitors, boats, and products and services is already available online. The lists will be updated until the opening of the show:

– Exhibitors

– Boats

– Products & services

This year, the Cannes Yachting Festival will host for the first time the announcement ceremony of the finalists for the Best of Boat Awards 2026, the largest European award dedicated to motorboats. This event, whose jury is composed of representatives from 15 countries, will take place on Wednesday, September 9 starting at 6:00 PM at the VIP Club of Port Canto.

Lagoon “EIGHTY 2” represents the very essence of travel, an escape dictated by elegance and time that takes on a different meaning. On board this catamaran, one feels as if they are distancing themselves not only from the coast but from everything that does not belong to us, finally leaving us free.

With a length of just under 25 meters and a maximum beam of 11 meters, it is the flagship of the sailing catamarans from the French shipyard, successor to the previous Seventy 7, blending enormous volumes and modern naval architecture with a very high level of customization.

At the stern, a huge hydraulic platform extends the full width, increasing the usable deck area by a remarkable 22 square meters, creating a truly impressive terrace over the sea. When needed, it can be partially submerged to facilitate descent into the water, becoming a private beach from which to dive or snorkel. A true “floating private Beach Club”.

The main deck is completely (flush): there are no steps or level changes between the platform, the external cockpit, and the internal salon. When the large glass door opens, the horizon and spaces merge to offer a breathtaking and unobstructed view. Designed by the masters of naval architecture at VPLP Design, with the exterior style by Patrick Le Quément and interiors curated by the Italian Nauta Design, the Lagoon “EIGHTY 2” is a true villa on the sea.

Layout Lagoon “EIGHTY 2”: the choice

On board, it can accommodate from 8 to 16 people depending on the layout chosen by the owner; moreover, the French shipyard offers the option to place the kitchen either in the main salon (galley up) or in the hull (galley down), directly connected to the crew’s quarters for maximum discretion, just like on a Superyacht. The owner’s suite is located at the bow of the starboard hull, a true oasis that, in addition to being equipped with every onboard comfort, features a hydraulically lowering section of the hull that, when opened, creates a private balcony suspended over the sea, accessible directly from the bed.

Lagoon “Eighty 2”, even though it offers a luxury hôtellerie onboard experience, is a sailing catamaran with excellent performance. With a sail area of about 338 m² and a hull optimized by VPLP, it ensures smooth passages over the waves and high transfer speeds.

On the upper deck, a 50 m² flybridge houses the dual helm, leaving ample space for sunbathing areas and a rigid hardtop that integrates solar panels to power the onboard electronics when at anchor, reducing the use of generators.

For owners seeking maximum livable space, stability at anchor, uncompromising luxury, and sailing performance, the French flagship represents, today, one of the choices in the landscape of “high level multihulls.”
