Pershing GTX116 yacht

The most exciting yacht debuts at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival

Returning for its highly anticipated 46th edition, the Cannes Yachting Festival consistently delivers one of the finest displays of luxury yachts in the world. The lineup also tends to include several world-class premieres from shipyards eager to present their latest designs, and this year is shaping up to be no different. Here are some of the hottest debuts to look out for across Port Vieux and Port Canto when the show kicks off on 12 September...

Builder: Southern Wind Shipyard Length: 29.2m

Meaning "home" in Swahili, Nyumba is the fourth SW96 model to hit the water but the first hybrid sailing yacht ever built by Southern Wind. She was commissioned for an experienced yachtsman with globetrotting aspirations and has spent the summer warming up with a 7,500-mile maiden voyage from Cape Town to Malta. To aid in her performance, an advanced energy storage system allows for zero-emission cruising, extended range under power and silent nights in hotel mode.

Builder: Bluegame Length: 22.7m

The BGM75 model is the first multihull design from Sanlorenzo ’s sister brand Bluegame and has the ethos of a “motor yacht that by chance has not one hull, but two”, according to the yard. With the appearance of a monohull, BGM75 delivers the benefits of a catamaran such as increased stability, large volumes, and reduced fuel consumption. With the option to install solar panels on the deckhouse, the futuristic yacht is also capable of generating 5kW of green energy.

Canados Oceanic 143

Builder: Canados Length: 43.5m

Having completed sea trials in August, the long-awaited Canados Oceanic 143 arrives as the flagship explorer for Italian shipbuilder Canados. Her strength lies in her ability to balance speed and distance, capable of hitting top speeds of 23 knots and covering over 6,000 nautical miles at 8.5 knots. Rome-based designer Michela Reverberi has handled the yacht’s interior, which features an owner’s suite that spans the entire upper deck, while the twin-stepped hull is courtesy of Arrabito Naval Design in collaboration with the shipyard's chief naval architect Giovanni Senatore.

Builder: Arcadia Yachts Length: 29.3m

Inspired by a growing demand for wellness, the A96 focuses on promoting a sense of tranquillity for guests by establishing multiple points of contact with nature. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows create a sense of fluidity between the yacht's Igor Lobanov interiors and the outside environment, providing unobstructed views thanks to a pair of fold-down bulwarks to port and starboard. Guests are then ushered onto the aft deck through sliding glass doors, where another section of the deck unfolds to connect the seating area with an expansive beach club. 

Builder: Pershing Length: 35.2m 

With a sporty profile, the GTX flagship took inspiration from the Gran Turismo automotive imagery while also boasting signature Pershing performance. Two hulls have been released by the shipyard so far, with the first set to appear in Monaco and the second headed to Cannes in September. In a departure from the previous hull, the second GTX116 features four – as opposed to five – guest cabins and has been upgraded to include triple MAN 2,000hp engines over the standard package with three 1,800hp equivalents. 

Builder: Cantiere delle Marche Length: 35m

While her aesthetics are well-suited to Mediterranean cruising, the RJ 115 Stellamar boasts some impressive explorer credentials, such as a 5,500-nautical-mile range and an "invisible crane" for the launch and recovery of toys and tenders. Launched earlier this year, she joins her bigger sister, an RJ 130 named Nuri , on the water and is the first of three RJ 115 models currently in development. Both the interior and exterior of Stellamar were designed by Francesco Paszkowski with added input from the shipyard and her owner, who pushed for a nature-themed interior with neutral tones throughout. 

Builder: Sanlorenzo Length: 30.5m

Details of the SX100 have been kept tightly under wraps since the yacht was introduced in Cannes last year. One year later, Sanlorenzo is expected to lift the lid on its brand-new addition to the highly successful SX crossover range. Key features include signature fold-down terraces to pair with the generous lower deck beach club, as well as a massive lounge and sunbathing area forward. According to BOATPro , the first SX100 model is due to arrive just in time for its debut in September, with three additional units to follow in 2024.

Builder: Riva Length: 25m

Marking a "new chapter" for the Sarnico-based builder, the Riva 82 Diva inhabits both form and function owing to a reimagined use of space. The flybridge, for instance, boasts 40 square metres of useable deck space, with well-defined areas including a protected lounge with a dinette and bar in the centre, a sunbathing area forward and another lounge area aft. Also worth mentioning is the yacht's beach club, where two large bulwarks fold out to create floating terraces, expanding the yacht's six-metre beam by an additional three metres. 

Builder: ISA Yachts Length: 44.3m

Unmistakeable in her appearance, UV II has a sporty profile designed by Enrico Gobbi - Team for Design with a plumb bow, aft-leaning radar arch and curved superstructure line built in the image of a modern sports car. Equally impressive are her Luca Dini interiors, featuring a gold and turquoise colour palette to go along with the yacht's playful atmosphere. Some of her onboard highlights include an extra-wide beach club, a Jacuzzi on the main deck and an expansive sundeck fitted with a custom bar, grill and large sunpads. 

wallywhy150

Builder: Wally Yachts Length: 24.1m

This new model builds on the success of its bigger sister, the wallywhy200 , and expands Wally's range of offerings in the motor yacht segment. Luca Bassani , the Wally-Ferretti Group Engineering department and A. Vallicelli & Co put their heads together to create unparalleled interior volumes for a yacht of her size, with wraparound glazing offering a 270-degree view in the forward owner's cabin. Outside, guests can walk nearly the full length of the yacht on the sundeck, which offers separate areas for sunbathing, dining and socialising within a shaded lounge. 

Swan OverShadow

Builder: Nautor Swan Length: 13.2m

Nautor Swan is expanding its motorboat range with a new model called the Swan OverShadow . The weekender yacht was designed by returning Finnish collaborator Jarkko Jamsen , who also created the brand's initial Swan Shadow tender. Unlike her sister, the Swan OverShadow is powered by an inboard engine, which allows for longer-distance cruising and larger deck spaces. The yacht also benefits from a rear platform that is able to be raised, lie flush with the main deck or be lowered into the water for easy access to the sea. 

Magellano 60

Builder: Azimut Length: 18.5m

Designed in collaboration with Ken Freivokh , this latest addition to Azimut's Magellano line was created for owners who enjoy long voyages at sea in a proven and economical package. The new 60 is built on the brand's second-generation dual-mode hull, which the brand says delivers up to 20 per cent less fuel consumption at cruising speeds than a comparably sized yacht on the market. The Magellano 60 also made headlines earlier this year when the model was selected to trial the HVOlution biofuel during its maiden voyage from Savona to the Sicilian city of Taormina.

Builder: Aegean Yacht Length: 26m

Aegean's 26-metre motor yacht Ukiel will make its debut boat show appearance in Cannes, marking the first instalment of the yard's Aegean Explorer series. Powered by two MAN 650 HP engines, the 187GT yacht can achieve a maximum speed of 12.7knots and has a  range of over 3,500 nautical miles. All of the yacht's design, naval architecture, and marine engineering have been completed in-house by the Turkish shipyard, leveraging 50 years of experience into a capable and adept long-range cruiser. 

Builder: Centuononavi Length: 16.7m

Italian shipyard Centounonavi relied on the proven partnership between designer Manuela Lucchesi and naval architect Marco Arnaboldi to create Vespro, a powerful cruiser with an efficient hull design. Twin 1,200hp MAN 8V engines paired with the yacht's water jet propulsion system deliver a blistering top speed of 56 knots and an equally impressive cruising speed of 50 knots. Similar to the yard's other ranges, the new Vespro model features a convertible aft deck with foldable bulwarks for a variety of activities on the water. 

Builder: Ferretti Yachts Length: 27.4m

Courtesy of exterior design by Filippo Salvetti , the infinite views afforded by an all-season terrace is how the InFYnito series gets its name. The al fresco space on InFYnito 90 is found forward on the main deck and tucked in the bow, offering a concealed spot for unwinding which fits the brief for a "balanced, cosy and sophisticated" ambience that feels like an extension of the home. The interior is the work of Ideaeitalia , which continues the calm aesthetic with soft lines and neutral tones.

Builder: Ocean King Length: 36.2m

Venetian shipyard Ocean King is better known for its commercial boats, but its venture into the yachting realm has so far been triumphant. Making her debut at the Venice International Boat Show 2023, Vãyus marks the first in the Ducale 120 series. Although she departs from the rugged explorer styles Ocean King is best known for, she retains an impressive estimated range of 5,500 nautical miles.

Baglietto T52

Builder: Baglietto Length: 52m

Known as hull 10238, the 52-metre model is the flagship hybrid model in Baglietto 's sporty T52 line. The hybrid propulsion system allows owners to opt for more efficient cruising modes, consequently minimising consumption and lessening the yacht’s environmental impact. Interior design is by Francesco Paszkowski Design , working in collaboration with Margherita Casprini , where a fresh and natural décor is created through teak, lacquered surfaces and Botticino marble.

Guide to the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

Minimal Logo

For over 45 years, the Cannes Yachting Festival has been the first major international event of the boating season, as well as the Europe’s largest in-water boat show.

The 2023 6-day edition, which will be held from September 12-17, will certainly enchant the 55 thousand visitors expected with more than 650 boats on display, ranging from 5 to 50 meters, in response to the most varied owner needs.

A major new feature of the 2023 event is the creation of “The small boat area”, an area afloat in the Vieux Port, which will accommodate smaller boats , from 8 to 11 meters in length. The area will accommodate over 50 boats , once again offering the most eclectic offer possible, satisfying the demands of many exhibitors and owners, and also broadening the target audience.

“Thanks to the renewed confidence of our exhibitors, this 2023 edition is looking very good with similar forecasts to the previous year, i.e. 600 exhibitors, more than 650 boats and 140 previews – explains Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Yachting Festival , before adding – Once again this year, our visitors will enjoy discovering some real gems in-water and on land, boats of all sizes and types, equipped with “traditional” or carbon-free engines with the first on-board electric, hybrid or hydrogen power systems. As is the case every year, all our teams are mobilised on a daily basis to offer a memorable experience to our exhibitors and visitors”.

This year’s edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival will host a large number of word premieres , the latest nautical equipment and numerous innovations, divided according to the reference activities of each port. Here is the guide to all the exhibition areas of this year’s event.

Cannes-Yachting-Festival-vieux-port

The Vieux Port: the world of motorboats

The Vieux Port, one of the oldest on the Côte d’Azur, plays host each year to modern and classic motor units presented by the world’s leading shipyards. This area focuses entirely on the motorboat industry and has an exceptional variety of units totaling almost 500 boats in water and on land, from small boats from 5 meters upwards to the largest prestigious superyachts exceeding 45 meters.

The Jetée area will welcome the major international shipyards and unveil their latest innovations presented as world previews. Boats above 22 metres will be exhibited here.

The Super Yachts Extension comprises three floating barges and will feature some thirty of the largest motor super yachts of over 24 metres exhibited at the Vieux Port.

catamarans

The Quai Saint-Pierre will exhibit luxury day-boats and powerboats ranging from 10 to 23 metres. Other types of model medium-sized open boats and fly-bridge boats will also feature on this quay, standing out for their design, power and elegance.

electric

Installed since 2021, opposite the Pantiero and the Quai Saint-Pierre, around fifty semi-rigid 10 to 20 metre boats will be on show in the middle of the water body; there is also an area showcasing some fifteen electric and hybrid boats.

sailing area

Port Canto: the realm of sailing

The Port Canto, located at the end of the Croisette, hosts three distinct areas: The Sailing area installed since 2019 is the biggest global in-water showcase for new super yachts. This magical place hosts over 120 yachts from 10 to 26 metres, including monohulls and multihulls.

Also at the heart of the Sailing area, the “ Start-up Village “, launched in 2021, highlights “smart” start-ups in the marine sector offering breakthrough technologies or services with high added value while protecting the maritime area. These start-ups are creating the future of yachting: yachting that is more powerful, more responsible and more environmentally friendly.

Cannes-Yachting-Festival-brokerage

Last but not least, the “Toys” area, established in 2018, takes advantage of the wide areas of this dyke to exhibit on-land an increasingly large selection of sport, fun and nautical activities equipment.

Cannes-yachting-Festival

Cannes Yachting Festival: on-land exhibition areas

On land are the exhibition areas dedicated to the marine accessories. The Equipment Village , for example, accommodates the ultimate in electronics, fittings, paints, as well as the essential accessories to maintain your boat from the major international companies.

The Palais des Festivals is home to a large area dedicated to high-end yachting players: shipyards, architects and designers, interior fittings, tourism institutions and marinas, service companies and the Tender area.

luxury

Last but not least, the Green Route, starting two years ago (when it was created), is becoming more and more important, giving space to the ecological transition and eco-sustainability issues, which are becoming increasingly relevant in the nautical world. For this reason, the ‘green’ route stretching from one side of the Croisette to the other will be central to addressing the issues of reducing the environmental impact of pleasure boating with boatyards and exhibitors, while also raising the awareness of visitors to take a more eco-sustainable approach to our seas.

While waiting to see what the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 will have in store for us this year, The International Yachting Media as a media partner will keep you up to date with the news and everything about the festival.

Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 preview: 29 of the best new boats to track down

  • Top stories

Next week's Cannes Yachting Festival will see hundreds of motoryachts and speedboats converge on the Cote d'Azur - we pick out 29 that are truly unmissable...

Of all the events in the marine calendar, Cannes Yachting Festival is arguably the pinnacle. As Europe’s biggest on-water boat show, there is nowhere else where you can quickly compare the latest offerings from the world’s biggest manufacturers.

However, with that sheer scale comes a problem – how do you manage to fit all those boats into your itinerary? Well that’s where MBY comes in…

We’ve picked through the vast line-up to select the 28 new boats that should be at the very top of your list.

Best new boats at Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

apreamare-gozzo-35-speedster-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-Gozzo 35 speedsteer (64)

Apreamare Gozzo 35 Speedster

Apreamare’s appealingly tubby designs based on traditional Sorrento fishing boats have always looked like heavy, stolid displacement craft, but beneath the waterline their hard-chine, medium-V underwater shapes, with a long planing run extending beneath the aft platform, have offered sprightly handling and a surprising turn of speed.

And now that huge outboard engines seem to be the go-to power source for anything under about 40 feet, they can offer serious performance too.

Based on the existing Gozzo 35 design, the new Gozzo 35 Speedster model comes as standard with two Mercury V10s bolted to the stern, which not only give a 42-knot top speed, but more importantly offer a useful cruising range of 300 nautical miles or so at 30 knots.

Making its European debut at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, this 42ft flybridge is the latest model from multihull specialist Aquila Power Catamarans.

Designed by VPLP and Category A certified for offshore cruising, the Aquila 42 will come in a wide variety of layout options to suit all tastes.

Further details are being kept under wraps for now, but key features include direct access from the flybridge to the foredeck, which is inherited from its bigger sister, the Aquila 54 .

arcadia-a96-MBY282.newyacht_1.Arc3

In spite of its volume, this 96ft superyacht will hit 24-knots

Arcadia A96

The newest member of Arcadia’s A line, the Arcadia A96 is a custom yacht not just in terms of its style, features, equipment and fit-out but also in terms of its contemporary approach.

Spurred by changing appetites in a post-Covid world, Arcadia has put peace of mind and mental wellbeing at the very core of its A96 design.

In essence, this superyacht has been conceived as a restorative sanctuary that enables you to get yourself back in shape and the layout very much reflects that.

Sliding glass panels on the main and upper decks enable you to open up the side and aft bulkheads, creating vast open-air spaces and inviting in the sounds and smells of the sea.

azimut-magellano-60-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_6.3

Azimut Magellano 60

Although the new Azimut Magellano 60 is the smallest model in the line, the DNA of this fourth boat is unmistakable.

Designed in collaboration with Ken Freivokh, there’s a linear, fuss-free elegance to the Azimut Magellano 60 that looks quite modest and classical. It features unbroken wraparound glass, long hull windows and a set of parallel teak louvres on the aft pilothouse pillars. And there’s plenty of overlap in application as well as appearance.

Created for owners who love long voyages, the new 60 is built on Azimut’s second-generation dual-mode hull – a semi-planing hull with a vertical bow, which claims to deliver significantly reduced fuel consumption at cruising speeds than comparable shaft-driven flybridge cruisers.

And those long-distance credentials are backed up on board with an interior optimised for comfortable cruising. Down below, the full-beam owner’s suite sidesteps avant garde edginess in favour of warm restful tones and softly textured fabrics.

On-deck features include a fold-down bulwark on the starboard side of the cockpit for a welcome bit of extra space, an adjustable backrest on the foredeck sunpad, and a smart asymmetric superstructure design to provide a nice wide side deck along the starboard side to link the cockpit with the bow seating area.

There is also a three-part folding cockpit door to completely open up the saloon, while flybridge has forward-facing seats for three, along with a good-size U-shaped sofa with table.

Downstairs, the owner’s cabin in the bows has an ensuite head, while the two guest cabins lie amidships, tucked under the saloon sole, sharing the day head and shower compartment on the starboard side. The port guest cabin has permanent twin berths, while the one to starboard has a single that converts to a double.

Benetti Oasis 34m

Bennetti’s Oasis 40m has proved to be a smash hit for the Azimut group’s superyacht brand and it’s hoping to repeat that success at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival with the launch of a new smaller sister, the Benetti Oasis 34m.

With exterior styling by British studio, RWD, and interior design by New York-based architects, Bonetti/Kozerski, the Benetti Oasis 34m follows closely in the footsteps of the Oasis 40m.

Like its big sister, it adopts a clear commitment to informal conviviality, big views and a close connection with the sea – and at the heart of that concept sits Benetti’s ‘Oasis Deck’.

It all revolves around a dramatic infinity pool, set low in the centre of the transom with a glass aft bulkhead. Sunbeds orbit the pool’s forward edge leading to a large open cockpit with drop down bulwarks.

The BGM75 features exterior styling from Zuccon International

Bluegame BGM75

Bluegame is keen to stress that its debut motor cat is not so much a part of the multihull market as the pioneer for a parallel category. In fact, as parent company, Sanlorenzo, puts it, the BGM75 is “first and foremost a luxurious, beautiful motor yacht that ‘by chance’ has not one hull but two”.

And when you look at the design, you can see what they mean. The key here is the modest beam. At 26ft 7in, it measures just over a third of the overall length, which falls somewhere between that of a cat and a monohull.

At a stroke, that helps sidestep the traditional squared-off boxiness of the classical catamaran – and when you also factor in the new boat’s forward taper, it actually bears an uncanny resemblance to the established BGX70 and BG72.

centounonavi-vespro-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-1

Centounonavi Vespro

Centounonavi is a new name, but one that comes with plenty of heritage – co-founder and naval architect Marco Arnaboldi is the son of Angelo, a renowned designer and boatbuilder and the man behind custom boatbuilder AB Yachts.

Centounonavi (literally ‘one hundred and one boats’) is based in the epicentre of Italian boatbuilding, Viareggio. The company’s first model is a slick-looking 55-footer with plenty of horsepower and an eye-watering top speed.

But it’s no mere mindless muscleboat, according to its creators: waterjet drives are less likely than conventional propellers to make sushi out of passing marine creatures, while much of the PVC cores used in its lightweight construction, along with other, unspecified aspects of the build, are sourced from recycled materials.

Also, an efficient hull design means that at its extraordinary cruising speed of 50 knots it burns “only” eight litres of diesel per mile.

The new R+ looks like a coupé-equipped evolution of the established R6

With its enclosed coupé structure, the new R+ might seem like a departure for day boating specialist, Evo, but this latest Valerio Rivellini design feels very much like an evolution of the brand’s established R6.

The custom aft platform, designed for Evo Yachts by Besenzoni, is a central part of that. You can lift it up for easy embarkation from an elevated pontoon, lower it to water level for a larger beach area, or drop it beneath the waterline for watersports or tender use.

The Evo R+ will also feature a convertible dinette with a transverse wet bar aft and a raised island sunbed forward, as well as weekending accommodation for four people in two double berths.

2023-cannes-yachting-festival-MBY290.newyacht_2.33-Extra-yachts-X99-fast

Extra Yacht X99 Fast

With naval architecture by Palumbo Superyachts, exteriors by Guida Design and interiors by Luca Dini, Extra Yachts describes the style of its new X99 Fast as “modern Mediterranean flair” and that translates into a layout that majors on alfresco entertainment.

The 75m² aft deck features an unusual semi-external dining zone, which straddles the internal saloon and the expandable open-air cockpit, with an extendable 12-man table and a well placed multi-purpose bar area.

From here, another pair of convivial zones slope down towards the sea – a lounge area with low-slung settees and fold down balconies, and a spacious aft sunpad perched above a big swim platform.

Greenline 58 Fly

Greenline’s 58 Fly is finally ready to hit the water, and it’s particularly vital for the Slovenian yard because it’s the perfect size to bridge the gap between the 48 Fly and the flagship 68 Ocean Class.

As you would expect, it follows Greenline’s proven formula, with its ability to collect and store electrical energy from the sun, from shore power and (in hybrid form) from the diesel engines.

But it also exhibits a range of modern design touches that will go down very well with visitors to the show. In line with the latest trends, the cockpit seating faces across the beam rather than forward, enabling you to retain a view through a glass balustrade.

cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_10.LEO3215

Leopard 40PC

Having enjoyed a lot of success with its award-winning 46PC and 53PC models, Leopard is set to introduce a new, more accessible boat to its power cat fleet. And despite the fact that smaller, shorter cats are more sensitive to weight and trim, the leisure potential of the new boat looks impressive.

In addition to a pair of ensuite port doubles, the lower decks feature an open-plan owner’s cabin to starboard, with a forward bathroom, a central dressing area and excellent natural light through those big hull windows.

Up on the main deck, ahead of the beamy cockpit, the aft end of the saloon is split into a large L-shaped port galley and a starboard fridge and storage unit. The companionway runs between them, taking you forward to a brilliantly sociable helm, with a big port lounge, great all-round views and easy access to the foredeck sun loungers through the forward saloon door.

Leopard also talks about “the largest flybridge ever seen on a 40-footer” – but while that might sound a bit far-fetched, there’s no doubting the space that such a massive beam creates.

cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_3.B4

Originally introduced as the 420 but since renamed to better express its length and volume, Marex’s new flagship cruiser looks like a really impressive boat. At the aft end, a secure enclosed cockpit with an all-weather canopy system enables you to shut out the elements for year-round use.

When specced with cockpit bar stools, an enormous C-shaped galley at the aft end of the saloon helps keep the inside and outside spaces beautifully integrated too. In ‘Scandinavia’ rather than ‘Gourmet Cruiser’ form, there is also the option of a smaller starboard galley, plus a larger port dining area for extra indoor seating but in all cases, the 440 is designed to deliver the cruising experience of a much bigger boat.

To that end, you get integrated aft-facing box seats at the swim platform for summer fun. You get a two- or three-cabin layout, each with two bathrooms. You get easy side deck access for the skipper. And in terms of propulsion, you can pick between D6 440s with sterndrives, D6 480s with IPS drives or D6 480s with V drives.

Pershing-GTX116-side-view

Pershing GTX116

Pershing launched its most radical new boat in years back in February and it will be getting its global debut at Cannes before heading onto the Monaco show. The Pershing GTX116 is best classified as a sportfly, although the futuristic styling and unusual layout suggest a crossover label may be more appropriate…

The Pershing GTX116 certainly has a very different look to the 50-knot sportscruisers we’re used to seeing from Pershing, with a near vertical windscreen positioned much further forward than usual and a snub-nosed bow like the flagship Pershing 140.

The stern is also quite different with a trio of terraces that cascade down to sea level culminating in a pair of transom doors that swing up and out to create a beach club effect. This cab-forward design frees up space for a much more even split between indoor and outdoor entertaining zones.

Prestige F4

Measuring 49ft 9in (15.18m) with a maximum beam of 14ft 9in (4.49m), the Prestige F4 is similar in size to the outgoing Prestige 520 but features a new Michael Peters hull with a deeper vee and a fuller, higher bow, said to offer ‘unparalleled stability, efficiency and comfort in navigation’.

However, the biggest changes are saved for the interior and exterior spaces, where a number of innovative ideas, layouts and materials are being used to try and lift Prestige further away from its mainstream market origins.

This starts at the stern where twin staircases lead up from the optional hydraulic bathing platform to a cockpit with freestanding furniture that can be arranged in a conventional L-shape or facing each other across the beam to enjoy the views out.

MBY279.news.2-Princess-Y80-Exterior_CGI

The new Princess Y80 is based on the X80’s hull but swaps the enclosed upper deck for a big open flybridge

Princess Y80

Enjoying its world premiere in Cannes will be a fourth entry in Princess’s Y Line range of flybridge motor yachts – and if the award-winning Y72, Y85 and Y95 are all about space, luxury and custom-friendly options, the new Y80 looks certain to follow suit.

It adopts a classically understated style, which closely echoes the established Y Class formula, with a continuous window line and an ‘S’ shaped hardtop connecting the flybridge to the main deck.

Outdoor entertaining also remains a priority and to help with that, there are three alternative cockpit designs: a traditional U-shaped dining layout with extra storage; a central cockpit table with seating for eight; and Princess’s ultra-slick ‘Infinity Cockpit’ arrangement.

rand-roamer-28-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-aerial

Practicality is ramped up with a T-top, suspension seats, a bow tent and a 500-litre tank

RAND Roamer 28

The closely guarded Rand Roamer 28 is designed to marry the brand’s trademark style, sustainability and simplicity with genuine adventure boat credentials.

To that end, it uses a stainless steel and hardened glass T-top with a carbon-fibre roof and full-closing canvases to enable proper four-season protection.

The Rand Roamer 28 also comes with a 144W solar panel on the roof, plus a 500-litre fuel tank for long-distance cruising.

There’s a big roof rack for all your toys plus a toilet in the console and an aft seat that can be turned into a full wet bar with sink and cooker.

riva-82-diva-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_7.RIVA

The jauntily named Riva 82 Diva is all about big outdoor day spaces

Riva 82 Diva

Riva’s latest yacht, the Riva 82 Diva, is designed to deliver “endless outdoor space.” It attempts that by means of a stern beach club with drop-down terraces that increase the width by 3m. Forward of that, the raised cockpit with its “sea-view” sofa design, encompasses a further 35m² of outdoor space.

And up on the flybridge, another 40m² enables each living area to enjoy its own distinct zone, with a lounge aft, a sunbathing area forward and an extra lounge with dinette and bar in the centre.

The saloon takes a similar approach to zonal arrangements, putting the lower living space and the raised dining area on different levels to help delineate each region without physically separating them.

Riviera 505 SUV

Making its European debut at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Australian-built Riviera 505 SUV was designed with active boaters in mind, its spacious, low-level cockpit and two-part aft platform providing the necessary working area for fishing and diving.

Meanwhile the fridge, freezer and grill installed down there make it easy to mix the cocktails and cook the catch.

Of course you don’t have to be active all the time – the section of the main deck between the cockpit and saloon provides a comfortable, sheltered outdoor area from which to watch others doing all the hard work, while the sunbed on the foredeck, complete with hinged backrest, will be ideal when the effort of merely watching gets too much.

cannes-yachting-festival-2023-Sanlorenzo-SX100-1-2

Sanlorenzo SX100

Where Sanlorenzo’s SP110 showed the influence of radical Bluegame design thinking in its low aft saloon and two-storey atrium, the new SX100 goes the whole hog with bold superstructure styling that is clearly another conscious homage to its sister Sanlorenzo brand.

A two-decker with several layout options, including a three- or four-cabin lower-deck layout, the Sanlorenzo SX100 retains the SP110’s superb stern arrangement, where you descend from the broad cockpit into a low-level space that can be fitted out as either a secluded, waterline saloon or as a master suite .

In either case, the bulwarks fold down to let light in from the sides as well as aft.

Ascend via the other cockpit companionway and you find yourself up on the main deck, with its spacious midships seating area and the option of a spectacular cabin forward, which could serve as either a VIP or master, or a bright open-plan dining area with excellent views on three sides.

Saxdor 400 GTO

Finnish powerboat builder, Saxdor, is set to unveil a new flagship for its range of sporting weekenders. And having already captured the public’s imagination with a fleet of boats that has sold more than 1,000 units since 2019, the Saxdor 400 GTO looks set to take things to a fresh level.

As you would expect, the new boat is built on an upscaled version of the 320 hull with twin steps, a plumb bow and a sleek adventure aesthetic. As you might also expect, it’s designed for use with a twin outboard rig and constructed with vacuum infusion techniques for reduced weight and improved running efficiency.

The extra scale also looks well used for a good size of forward double cabin with standing headroom in excess of 6ft, plus a separate bathroom and an optional midships double.

But it’s the layout of the cockpit that really makes a splash. Instead of sacrificing space to walkaround side decks, Saxdor has pushed the furniture and hard top out across the full beam of the boat and added a door in the port corner of the windscreen to give access to the foredeck lounge.

Fold-down balconies on both sides that stretch all the way forward to the back of the helm seats come as standard and help turn the cockpit into an even bigger sheltered outdoor party zone in a matter of seconds.

SILENT-62-3deck---open-version4

The improved Silent 62 is based on the successful 60 model

Austrian shipyard, Silent Yachts, has taken its best-selling Silent 60, added 2ft and replaced the traditional flybridge with a larger, more practical third deck. Designed to combine the “superyacht flair” of Silent’s 80ft flagship with the compact dimensions of the 60, that upper deck comes in three configurations – a closed skylounge, a closed owner´s suite or an open sky lounge (pictured).

That open variant features a U-shaped galley with bar, a central dining table for ten, lots of casual seating around the deck’s edge, and a huge raised sunbathing zone at the stern. With lightweight carbon-fibre construction and a cruise-friendly draft of just 1m, this eight-berth boat is designed to be operated with the utmost ease by just two people.

It comes with 42 solar panels rated to 17 kWp, alongside a 286 kWh battery bank and a choice of e-motors from 50-340kW. According to Silent, that should enable the 62 to cruise up to 100 miles per day on the sun alone, while also running your various onboard systems without recourse to a generator.

cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_9.1

Turkish yard, Sirena Marine, is set to introduce a new boat at the entry point to its award-winning fleet of liveaboard cruisers. Designed to enable a whole range of applications, from day boating and long weekends away to extended family cruises, the whole idea behind the new model is to transfer Sirena’s traditional big-boat versatility into a more compact package.

To that end, the 48, which actually measures 52ft 4in in length, provides a claimed 25% more usable volume than its competitors. If the vertical bow and windscreen help with that, so does the flybridge, which overhangs the side decks and aft cockpit, creating lots of space up top as well as extra shelter below.

Up on the flybridge, that space is divided into two parts: a huge forward sunbed that enables the helm to remain involved in the party; and a full-beam dining station aft with direct access to the transverse wet bar that butts up against the helm seats.

It’s quite a simplistic design but it makes good use of the space – and the main deck saloon adopts a similar approach. It’s arranged over two levels, with a sociable aft galley, a starboard helm with side door and a port lounge that stops a little short to generate extra volume below.

solaris-power-52-open-first-look-MBY288.newboat_4.Solaris_power_52_8

The deck layout is one of the most appealing we’ve seen on a boat this size

Solaris Power 52

Having launched two new smaller models in the wake of its original 48ft Open, Solaris Power is now working its way up the range, starting with this new Solaris Power 52 Open.

As with previous models, Solaris claims its tear-drop-shaped footprint – with a heavily flared vertical bow and deep vee aft sections – delivers an unusually dry, stable, comfortable ride while also creating more space above and below deck for guests.

We’ll have to wait for a sea trial to confirm the seakeeping claims but these early renderings certainly show a big, beamy cockpit with full walkaround decks leading to a generous foredeck lounge.

The designers have put the space to good use, giving owners the choice between three separate cockpit layouts. The first one features the usual pair of straight sofas facing each other across a teak dining table with a big outdoor galley forward.

Sunreef 80 Power Eco

If you like the idea of free, renewable energy but don’t like sails, Sunreef would love to have a word. The Polish shipyard’s newest power cat is this Sunreef 80 Power Eco, available in both hybrid and pure electric versions, that positively bristles with solar panels.

These produce a claimed maximum of 36kWp in bright sunshine, although with many of the solar panels mounted along the sides, that figure will only be achievable if the sun can be persuaded to shine on both sides at the same time.

So it might occasionally be necessary to top up the batteries using the generators. The batteries themselves are ‘ultralight’, with an energy density of around 200Wh per kilogramme, and you can choose between 360kW and 720kW of motive power.

Read more about the Sunreef 80 Power Eco

Wally-WHY150-cannes-yachting-festival-2023

Wally WHY150

Created in collaboration with Studio Vallicelli, the new Wally WHY150 uses a raised pilothouse design to create what it calls “unparalleled exterior spaces” – but that approach also has a very striking impact on the inside.

In the main deck saloon, floor-to-ceiling glass is paired with flush decking and more than 8ft of headroom to create a profound sense of openness and light.

The absence of a lower helm also frees up the space for a main deck owner’s cabin, which takes full advantage of the Wally WHY150’s elevated bow and wraparound glazing for 270-degree views from the bed.

That’s supplemented on the lower deck with either three guest cabins (a VIP, a double and a twin) or a pair of larger, more decadent VIP suites.

wellcraft-435-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_5.A1

This 50-knot adventure boat is the biggest and most versatile Wellcraft yet

Wellcraft 435

Coming hot on the heels of the adventure-ready Wellcraft 355, the new Wellcraft 435 is not just the biggest Wellcraft ever, but also the most versatile.

There’s plenty of space on the aft deck thanks to a large bathing platform and a cockpit with fold-down bulwarks on both sides, and the big foredeck lounge provides a handy alternative drinks venue.

With its plumb bow, forward raked windscreen, substantial freeboard and elevated all-round guardrails, there’s plenty of security here, as well as volume. And visibility looks good too, thanks to 360° glazing, plus a starboard side door and an overhead sunroof.

Read more about the Wellcraft 435

cannes-yachting-festival-2023-MBY289.newboat_3.A8

Windy 40 Camira RS

Windy’s 39 Camira was much admired during its seven-year production run so it’s no surprise to see the Camira name being resurrected at Cannes. The new 40 Camira RS will tread much the same path as the 39 but it will do so with uprated styling, a revamped helm, an open-plan lower deck and the option of outboard power.

In terms of deck layout, the port wet bar is replaced with an aft-facing chaise longue and the cockpit is made more practical thanks to an optional sunroof-equipped T-Top.

As the flagship of Windy’s sportscruiser line, you can still opt for a pair of 400hp or 440hp Volvo Penta D6s on sterndrives, but the Camira RS also comes with twin Yamaha 425 XTOs or triple Yamaha F300 petrol outboards for speeds in the region of 45 knots.

Things have changed down below too. While the single or twin mid cabin stays the same, a new open-plan layout sees the traditional forward cabin ousted in favour of a convertible U-shaped dinette with the option of a much larger galley to port.

yot-36-cannes-yachting-festival-2023-YOT36-Nav01

YOT 36 Powercat

French boatbuilder Catana has been in the business for more than 40 years, with 1,300 employees on five sites. The yard is best known for its sailing catamarans , and until now, by its own admission, its powercat models have tended to look like all the others but with the masts taken off.

Now with new designs and a new brand, the yard has decided to get serious about powercats. The redoubtable J&J Design has been entrusted with design and development of the new range.

The YOT 36 is a beamy, fast, two-cabin, two head sports cruising catamaran offered with a choice of V6 or V8 Mercury outboards that promise an impressively sporty top speed.

From Power Cats to Explorers: Nine Must-See Vessels Debuting at the Cannes Yachting Festival

Stunners from azimut, benetti, baglietto, ferretti yachts and more will be standout debuts at the first big show of the season..

  • Share This Article

New Launches at Cannes

Boat show season kicks off next month with the arrival of the Cannes Yachting Festival. The annual event, which takes place from September 6 to 11, 2022, will showcase one of the largest collections of European and world debuts in years. Visitor attendance is also expected to hit record highs, with potential owners keen to catch the first glimpse of the latest launches from the world’s top shipyards. Here are nine boats making world premieres on the French Riviera.

Baglietto Dom 133 ‘Attitude’

festival di cannes yacht

Presenting 133 feet of Attitude , this yacht is the second of six Baglietto DOM 133 models. The exterior was designed by Stefano Vafiadis with an interior by Ezequiel Farca. Attitude was built to cross oceans with a 3,500-nautical-mile range. A key feature is the split-level beach club with a hydrofloor infinity pool, meaning the pool floor can be raised flush to expand the footprint of the cockpit. With a seven-foot draft, it’s an ideal bluewater cruiser that can access shallow waters.

Benetti 37M B.Yond

festival di cannes yacht

Goga , the first of Benetti’s new 37M B.Yond series, brings zero emissions to a pocket explorer. The 121-foot yacht forms part of Benetti’s Voyager series and was the last project in collaboration with designer Stefano Righini before his death. It’s billed as the greenest boat in its class, thanks to SCR catalytic filters and a Siemens E-mode hybrid system that tailors energy consumption to guests’ usage. On the inside, Mauro Izzo’s white interior is stunning but not over the top, with details like a walk-in wine cabinet on the upper deck to enhance life on board. The B.Yond’s rear quarters is another noteworthy detail in this new design. The stern’s fold-out terrace adds an extra layer of gracious living at the water line.

Ferretti Yachts 860

festival di cannes yacht

Bringing art deco-inspired beauty to Cannes this year, Ferretti’s 860 flybridge yacht pairs Italian elegance with performance. Floor-to-ceiling windows, cutaway bulwarks and a glass transom provide uninterrupted views from the main deck. It’s separated from the semi-raised pilothouse by a fully enclosed galley. Despite measuring only 88 feet, the tri-deck design optimizes space. On the asymmetric flybridge an optional jacuzzi, sunpads, second helm and al fresco dining area ensure the small footprint uses every square foot. A choice of three hardtops adds an extra layer of customization. On the lower deck, a drop-down swim platform is teamed with a water-level tender garage, large enough to store a 13-foot tender.

Apreamare Gozzo 45

festival di cannes yacht

This large Italian gozzo design brings a dash of elegance to the Cannes lineup of classy cruisers. Conceived by Cataldo Aprea, naval architect Marco Casali of Too-Design and Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design, the round-stern gozzo styling of this 45-footer centers around outdoor spaces. They include the swim platform, two large sunbeds and a dining table for eight in the cockpit. At the bow, more oversized sunbeds create a lounge area accessed on both sides. High bulwarks keep guests splash-free when the boat is under way. Below decks, owners can choose between a two-cabin layout with dinette, or a three-cabin layout, both with two bathrooms.

TecnoRib Pirelli 50

festival di cannes yacht

Designed by TecnoRib in collaboration with the Mannerfelt Design studio, the Pirelli 50 is suited for daily use, as a support vessel for superyachts or standalone go-fast boat for mid-range cruises. The 49-foot walkaround will make its world debut at Cannes this year, combining practicality with peformance. Aggressive, fast and attractive—with teak decking and a slanted hardtop over the cockpit—the boat’s joystick controls create easy maneuvering, while two Mercury Verado 600s pack 1200 horsepower for a 50-knot top end. Two sunpads at the stern and a bow lounge area open up the boat’s social possibilities.

Invictus GT320S

festival di cannes yacht

As the fourth outboard model from Invictus, the GT320S twins the Italian shipyard’s characteristic half-reverse bow with a neat and linear profile. But all eyes will be on the large living area when the nippy 33-foot cruiser debuts at Cannes, which replaces the space occupied by the engine room on the sterndrive version. A small bimini provides shade and can be swapped out for an optional carbon hardtop. The design also includes integrated lighting, an added feature typically found on much larger boats. A pair of Yamaha outboard engines with 300hp come as standard, though the boat accommodates engines up to 900hp that deliver a blistering 50-knot top speed.

Azimut Grande 36M

festival di cannes yacht

Designed by Alberto Mancini to evoke a feeling of being completely immersed in nature, the Azimut Grande 36M attempts to be one interwoven space. Full-height windows, a walkaround upper deck that runs from bow to stern and a sky lounge with oversized slide-away glass doors all contribute to the indoor-outdoor connection and informal ambience. An all-glass hot tub on the sundeck adds style. The 118-footer’s large beach club delivers waterside sophistication. Forming part of Azimut’s Low Emission range, the Grande’s lightweight carbon-fiber superstructure helps reduce fuel consumption by 20 percent, according to Azimut, while the displacement-to-planing hull (D2P) bolsters cruising efficiency by 40 percent.

Prestige M48

festival di cannes yacht

Making a multihull entrance at Cannes is the Prestige M48. It will be the first power catamaran from French builder Prestige Yachts. Taller than other power cats, its multiple outdoor spaces include a flybridge with dining area and second helm, and a beach club terrace that suspends guests over the water. Inside, a deep bridge deck links the two hulls, which creates enough space for full-beam cabins. Powered by twin 320-hp Volvo Penta D4s, Prestige says the boat is 20-percent more efficient than a similar-sized monohull when cruising at high speeds.

Riva 102 Corsaro Super

festival di cannes yacht

Silver, sporty and with an arrowhead bow, the first model in Riva’s 102 Corsaro Super range looks like a speeding bullet. The 99-footer is the successor to Riva’s enduring 100 Corsaro model, designed by Officina Italiana Design, Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group engineering department. Owners can choose from two interior configurations. There are also two engine setups: MTU 16V 2000 M96 engines for a top speed of 26 knots, or twin MTU 16V 2000 M96Ls that produce 28 knots. The yacht’s 377-sq.ft. beach club adds another element to the yacht’s gracious waterside living.

What To Expect At The 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival

cannes yachting festival 2023

Each year, the Cannes Yachting Festival marks the end of summer or the beginning of the fall boat show season, depending on how you want to look at it. This year's event begins on September 12th and is the 46th edition of the show which attracts nearly 700 boats. Divided among two marinas this year - Vieux Port and Port Canto - there will be a new segment for smaller yachts this year ranging from 26 to 50-feet.

Several of the new boat brands represented by SI Yachts will have strong participation in this Cannes Yachting Festival highlighting the innovative and trend-setting progressions of each shipyard. While not all of these models will make it to the U.S. for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in October, it will be a window into the future offerings from some of the most iconic builders in the world.

While we cannot cover every single boat in the show, we are experts on the below models that will be on display. If you are interested in receiving more information, pricing, and availability of any of the below boats, please send us an email at [email protected] or fill out the form on the page.

ABSOLUTE YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

absolute 52 fly at cannes yachting festival 2023

The luxury flybridge yachts coming out of Italy in the last few years have created fierce competition between the shipyards there, and across the pond in the U.K. Companies like Sunseeker , Azimut , Ferretti , and others continue to invest millions in their equipment, facilities, and designs. Absolute Yachts doesn't produce the sheer volume that say an Azimut-Benetti shipyard does, but their model ranges offer fresh and innovative solutions that subtly enhance your comfort on board. The result has been a strong book of orders, along with the awards to back them up. At this year's Cannes Yachting Festival, you can see:

  • 52 FLY (Featured above)

PARDO YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

SI Yachts has quickly become one of the largest dealers for Pardo Yachts in the country and it's easy to see why. Similar to Van Dutch in style (they're also a sister company at the same shipyard) this is a boat where you can make a statement. Sexy, remarkable lines make Pardo models impossible to miss on the water. The hallmarks of each boat, regardless of which model lines, include elegance, spaciousness, high performance, and the finest interiors. If you haven't set foot on a Pardo, find one at your next boat show.

  • Endurance 60
  • GT52 (Featured above)
  • 50 Walk-Around
  • 43 Walk-Around
  • 38 Walk-Around

PRESTIGE YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

prestige yachts at the cannes festival

The Prestige Yachts brand has always been about creating a 'luxury home on the water' that gives you the same sense of comfort and relaxation as your own. Models like the 590 FLY were a game changer for the French builder, allowing them to create a great value in an exceptional layout that owners could enjoy with multiple guests for weekend trips or longer. Can you imagine if Prestige built a power catamaran and how they would utilize that space? Now you don't have to with the Prestige M-line which will be on display at Cannes with their newest model.

PRINCESS YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

The Princess display will be located at Vieux Port right in the heart of Cannes. See these Princess models at the Cannes Yachting Festival:

The world’s largest boat builders use Cannes to strut their latest launches before the yachting world, and what a show it promises to be. Canceled last year due to Covid, next week’s event from September 7-12 promises a banner display in one of the Med’s most beautiful ports, with multiple launches across all segments. The show is divided between the Vieux Port, with 450 motorboats and yachts up to 150 feet, to Porto Canto with 108 new launches in the Sailing Area and 50 brokerage yachts.

Cannes will also include a special area for electric boats, multihulls, and innovative designs as well as a sea-trial area. The Luxury Gallery is for owners who want to see the latest designs and equipment, while two special sections called The Jetée and Superyacht Extension are devoted to the show’s largest yachts. After last year’s shortage of major boat shows, including Monaco and Miami, Cannes promises a return to a new normal in the yachting world, populated by pent-up demand and many newcomers.

These 10 yachts are not only some of the largest at this year’s show, but also herald many innovations in design, usage of exterior and interior space, and range of styles. It’s going to be a good year for yachting.

Riva 76 Perseo Super

The multi-award-winning Riva 76’ Perseo is hard to beat. But that’s exactly what the new Riva 76’ Perseo Super aims to do. Over 431-square-foot of glazed surfaces on the hull and superstructure characterize the yacht’s sleek profile, while the sun deck provides a second helm and much sought-after place to relax in privacy. Plus, it reflects the best of the Italian builder’s signature craftsmanship.

Azimut Yachts Grande Trideck

Azimut Yachts’ new flagship Grande Trideck elevates al fresco life to the next level. The all-new living area, named the Sea View Terrace, is an aft raised mezzanine deck for the ultimate sun-kissed experience. It is one of four onboard terraces which, when viewed from the stern, give the visual effect of cascading levels flowing from the sundeck down to the glistening sea. Very grande indeed.

Wally WHY200

Wally Yachts has gone back to the future with its daring new WHY200. It’s described as a “cool new space ship” by the builder of some of yachting’s most adventurous designs. This latest Wally is remarkable since it packs 200 gross tons of interior volume into an 89-foot hull. There are plenty of features to love, including the open rear sections. But the real wow factor is the gargantuan 398-square-foot owner’s suite, located in the bow. With wraparound windows and 200-degree views, Wally says it creates the sensation of floating above the water—a concept that Marty McFly would definitely embrace.

Benetti Motopanfilo 37M

Benetti’s Motopanfilo 37M is an elegant take on a retro classic. Inspired by its Navetta from the ’60s, which entertained a range of guests from Prince Rainier of Monaco and rock star David Bowie, the new 121-foot version is a thoroughly modern makeover, with a retro-but-contemporary exterior by Francesco Struglia and beautiful, imaginative interior design by Lazzarini Pickering Architetti.

Bering Yachts B70

For owners who like the idea of a new-build yacht with proven engineering but want to customize the finish, Bering’s rugged B70 might be the answer. Sporting an axe-bow hull shape that “slices through waves,” according to the company, the seaworthy vessel lets owners personalize fabrics, finishes, furniture and even cabin configurations to create their very own dream boats.

Sanlorenzo SL120 Asymmetric

Sanlorenzo’s unique design innovation is back, this time with the aptly named SL 120 Asymmetric. The name comes from both the internal and external layouts: There is only one passage on the 120-footer’s main deck on the portside, while inside, the dining room occupies one side of the salon, and the living area is on the other. The open-plan space and floor-to-ceiling windows that run the length of the salon give a luxurious residential feel. This non-traditional choice works well, increasing not only the interior volume, but the owners’ connection with the sea.

Palumbo Yachts Extra X86 “Haze”

The “Extra” in Palumbo’s Extra X86 stands for space. Space in the salon, space on the aft deck and space in the 538-square-foot beach club. The owners of Haze set out to create a penthouse on the water, and it’s fair to say the glass-encased, three-level cockpit achieves it. Oh, and there’s a 270-square-foot “roof terrace” flybridge to match. A beautiful, unusual design.

CDM Flexplorer “Aurelia”

An explorer vessel with attitude,  Aurelia , the new Flexplorer from Cantiere delle Marche, features an on-deck, 3.5-ton crane capable of safely launching all manner of water toys, including the boat’s 28-foot Jokerboat Clubman tender. At anchor, the yacht has collapsible bulwarks that fold down on both sides to create an epic beach club area of more than 1,200 square feet.

Baglietto “Panam”

When an owner asked for “speed  and  a dynamic character,” Baglietto answered with the 131-foot  Panam . The boat’s lightweight aluminum hull, three MTU V16 2000 engines, and 3 KaMeWa waterjets push it to a highly impressive 31 knots. Penciled by Francesco Paszkowski Design, the steel-colored exterior cuts a sleek, wedge-shaped profile on the water, with drop-down balconies for waterside lounging.

Inspired by aeronautical and automotive design—glossy, black grilles in the aft bulwarks—we singled out the Otam 70HT for two owner-requested custom features. These include the up-and-down electric glass window that separates the interior lounge from the exterior cockpit, and the removal of a tender garage in favor of a larger beach club. That helps with performance, which is Otam’s historic signature. The Italian builder says, with the right engines, the 70HT can blast past 50 knots–lightning-fast for a boat this size.

About Event

festival di cannes yacht

Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

Since 1977, the Yachting Festival takes place every September in elegant, luxurious surroundings in the sparkling bay of Cannes.

As the first show in the boating season, the Yachting Festival is Europe’s leading in-water boating event. The major players in pleasure yachting come here to launch the show season by showcasing their new premiere.

Visitors attending the event’s two sites, in Vieux Port and Porto Canto, will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a full yachting experience, with onboard sessions and sea trials taking place throughout the festival.

Complimentary transport between the two marinas will be offered, so that guests can seamlessly travel in between the exhibits.

Yacht enthusiasts will be brimming with anticipation as many brand new models coming on to the market will be debuting at the festival.

In addition to the fleet on display, there will be numerous auxiliary exhibits presented at the festival, with various high-end jewellery stands and nautical merchandise also available for purchase.

Away from the festival, the city of Cannes brings with it a unique energy that cannot be found in many places. A sense of luxury beams through the city which plays host to the event.

Lined with stunning beaches, chic boutiques and lavish hotels, Cannes is the perfect stop off point on a charter visit to the French Riviera.

This year's show will take place from the 12th of September until the 17th of September 2023.
