With nearly 700 boats on display across Vieux Port and Port Canto, the Cannes Yachting Festival offers a stunning array of vessels, from sleek motor yachts to grand superyachts. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the latest in nautical design and innovation.
Absolute Navetta 53
The new Absolute Navetta 53 is sure to be very popular with sailors who want a boat for multi-day cruises. The elegant salon features carefully selected furniture and a well-equipped galley, seamlessly integrated with the cockpit. Located amidships, the owner’s cabin features large windows, a king size bed and numerous storage options. The forward VIP cabin and the third cabin are also oriented towards comfort and design, ensuring a comfortable and luxurious stay.
Absolute Navetta 70
Navetta 70 presents all the recognizable characteristics that Absolute yachts are known for, such as elegant side rails, covered passageways, large glass surfaces on the main and lower decks. The interiors are distinguished by their elegant and contemporary style. The furniture is made of quality wood, in light tones, with wavy shapes and details in bronze color. The presence of space-saving sliding doors, high ceilings and the absence of stairs allow greater freedom of movement and maximum comfort.
AB Yacht AB 110
Archea Associati and the Next Yacht Group team successfully teamed up on this project, which combines aesthetics and technology in the best way, and the fruit of their efforts is a perfect harmony between exciting speed and freedom of movement. The AB 110 is an emphatically 34-meter-long sports yacht characterized by a cozy, charming interior inspired by popular lofts with plenty of natural light. On top of all that, it flies over the surface of the water at a speed of 45 knots while maintaining incomparable stability, and thanks to its limited draft, it will sail into the most secluded coves.
Austin Parker Unica 58
The first motor catamaran of the Italian shipyard Austin Parker combines the spacious comfort of a double-decker with the sporty character of a yacht, embodying the distinctive style of Pininfarina and De Simoni Yacht Design. The vessel, 17 meters long and 7 meters wide, creates a flawless harmony between interior and exterior spaces with its elegant lines. The luxurious interior includes a full-width owner’s cabin, two en-suite guest cabins and a crew cabin.
Azimuth Fly 62
Fly 62 represents the purest design concept, harmonizing creativity and imagination with the wishes of the owner. Azimut designed a new vision of the cockpit, which now faces the stern and gradually descends towards the sea. The interiors are designed by Fabio Fantolino, who created a spacious, open living space without visual obstacles, for a feeling of infinite proximity to the sea, and which he gave a fresh design with an emphasis on small but essential details.
Azimuth Seadeck 7
After the Seadeck 6, which we had the opportunity to test recently, in Cannes, Azimut will premiere the Seadeck 7 – a 70-foot hybrid yacht. The new series of the Italian shipyard combines technological innovation and creativity through an attractive design, bringing numerous new solutions that contribute to reducing the impact on the environment. Unlike the ‘younger’ model in the offer, Seadeck 7 offers four double cabins, a more spacious saloon and a small flybridge. There is also Fun Island – an open aft terrace, which can be enlarged when the boat is at anchor thanks to folding sides.

With six berths and an additional berth for the crew, it is ideal for longer voyages.
Bilgin Kasif
With a length of 42 meters, Kaşif embodies the essence of its name, ‘explorer’, in the Turkish language. Emrecan Özgün of Unique Yacht Design has designed an exterior that seamlessly blends form and functionality, retaining the signature sporty and aggressive lines of Bilgin Yachts, moving away from the traditional design of robust explorer yachts. The interior was designed by Enrico Lumini from the Hot Lab design studio, combining the luxury of a home with the practicality of a floating office.
Cranchi Sessantadue 62
Cranchi Sessantadue 62 of 62 feet, i.e. 30 meters, highlights the original vertical bow that emphasizes the yacht’s appeal. A strong continuity between interior and exterior spaces is the foundation of the new model’s aesthetics, and designers have erased the boundaries between the cockpit and the aft end of the main deck interior. There are three cabins and three bathrooms on the lower deck, and two 6-cylinder Volvo Penta D13 engines in the engine room, each with 1000 hp.
Cantiere Delle Marche Flexplorer 146
The Flexplorer 146 Mat marks an important step in the evolution of its series, from which it inherits a robust aesthetic and readiness to explore the far seas, but has a more elegant profile than the first Flexplorer 146, as it has one less deck. At 44.50 m long, Mat has large social and private spaces for the owners and up to ten guests spread over three decks, and she also has a spacious sun deck.
Columbus Atlantique 43
The Columbus Atlantique 43 demonstrates the excellence of design through the use of fluid forms, with maximum functionality and comfort of life on the high seas.

The exteriors and interiors are signed by the designers of the Hot Lab studio, and they bring a number of stylish, design and functional elements dedicated to enjoying every moment spent on the yacht.
Custom Line Navetta 38
The exterior and interior of the new design and execution according to the highest standards make it clear that the new Custom Line Navetta 38 is a masterpiece of maritime art. The new model combines innovative engineering with typical Italian style and sophistication. The beach club stern that is connected to the cockpit on the main deck and can be extended to the berth on both sides is a recognizable detail, but it is functionally executed according to a new concept.
Dufour 44
Whether for experienced sailors or adventure-seeking lovers of the sea, the Dufour 44 sailing yacht is designed to deliver an unforgettable experience. Created with the steadfast collaboration of Felci Yachts Design and the Dufour teams, the hull’s sleek design and manoeuvrability at the helm will allow you to tame the seas while enjoying precise and responsive handling.

Her spacious, luxuriously appointed interior, signed by Luca Ardizio, offers everything you need for enjoying some unforgettable relaxing times at sea.
Elan GT6 Explorer
The GT6 Explorer builds on the platform of the multiple award-winning Elan GT6, a 49-foot grand turismo yacht. While maintaining the core architecture, materials, and layout, the GT6 Explorer has been upgraded in four critical areas: safety, seakeeping abilities, autonomy, and offshore living. Key enhancements of the Explorer include the advanced 3D VAIL hull, which increases stiffness and enhances the hull’s mechanical properties. The yacht can be equipped with a powerful solar array producing 1187 Wp, which charges 840 Ah worth of LiIon batteries, sufficient to power a 100 L/h watermaker along with all other consumers, except the air conditioning.
Evo Yachts R4+
With impressive exterior styling and extremely comfortable interiors, the Evo R4+ is a new model from Evo Yachts, confirming the brand’s determination to offer boats for comfortable living at sea in a wide range of weather conditions.

Ferretti Yachts Infynito 80
The Ferretti Yachts Infynito 80, the second model in the eponymous series, is adorned with all the fine qualities of its predecessors: a focus on the environment, generous covered outdoor areas, continuity between interior and exterior, impressive versatility and innovative layouts.

Fiat P58
The new P58 is designed in every detail, refined and elegant, equally comfortable on deck and below deck, with spaces and solutions borrowed from the interior design of homes that give it the feeling of a large and comfortable villa by the sea. Below deck, the feeling of spaciousness is emphasized by the height of the ceiling in the salon – over three meters – and the atmosphere, which is primarily achieved by the skylight system.
FIM Regina 500
500 Regina represents the evolution of the open walk-around series of the house FIM. As with all models designed by FIM design masters, the Regina is recognizable by its hardtop, which is made entirely of carbon (partly recycled). The owner’s cabin at the stern is a real luxury apartment with carefully selected materials and shades.

This innovative model, created from the collaboration between HanseYachts designers and world-renowned yacht designer Patrick Banfield, is once again attracting attention at sea.

At the same time, the owner’s apartment can be equipped with a sauna or a hammam.
Grand Soleil 52 Performance
Inspired by the lines of the Grand Soleil 52 designed by German Frers in 1987, the new Grand Soleil 52 Performance is the work of the proven duo of Matteo Polli and Nauta Design. The Grand Soleil 52 Performance has been thought out down to the last detail to make the most of all the space, so it has an unusually large living area for a boat of its size, without affecting its weight. The layout of the elements on the deck and the sails, as well as the hull itself, are available in two versions: Performance and Race.
