Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 to feature major boat premieres

The Cannes Yachting Festival, scheduled for September 8 to 13, 2026, will feature several major world premieres across the powerboat and multihull sectors.

Prestige will debut three new models: the M8 EVO, an evolution of its flagship power multihull; the M6; and the F6. The M8 EVO, measuring nearly 20 metres, features an enlarged galley and an optional ‘Silent Mode Pack’ that utilizes solar panels to allow for extended stays at anchor without noise or direct emissions.

In the Power Boat Marina at Port Canto, Jeanneau will premiere the EX 34 Hardtop, marking the start of a new series for the French shipyard. Other notable exhibitors include Groupe Beneteau brands such as Wellcraft, which is debuting the 33 T-Top, and Saxdor, which will showcase the 460 GTS open version. Axopar is also set to stage the world premiere of its semi-enclosed 38 Cross Top.
