Mediterranean yachting season 2026 to feature major exhibitions and world premieres
The 2026 international yachting season is set to begin with a series of major exhibitions across the Mediterranean. The Cannes Yachting Festival, scheduled for September 8–13, will serve as a primary showcase, featuring approximately 710 boats and nearly 150 world premieres. The event is expected to attract 56,000 visitors and will highlight sustainable transitions through the Innovation Route Awards.
Major manufacturers are preparing significant debuts. Ferretti Group will showcase several new models, including the Itama 70 and the Custom Line Navetta 35. Other notable exhibitors include Absolute Yachts, Ad Astra Yachts, and Amels Yachts. The festival will emphasize technological advancements in electric and hybrid propulsion, as well as luxury design and performance.
Following the Cannes event, the season continues with the Monaco Yacht Show and concludes with the 66th Genoa International Boat Show from October 1–6. The Genoa event, organized by Confindustria Nautica, aims to strengthen the international nautical supply chain and includes B2B initiatives like the TechTrade Days to connect manufacturers with industry professionals.
