Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 developments
Overview
The 49th Cannes Yachting Festival, held September 8–13, 2026, at the Vieux Port and Port Canto, served as a major showcase for the global recreational marine market. The event featured approximately 710 boats and was expected to attract 56,000 visitors, highlighting sustainable transitions through the Innovation Route Awards.
As the festival progressed, several major manufacturers unveiled new models. Aquila Catamarans introduced the 35 Sport, while Custom Line debuted the Navetta 35 displacement yacht. Benetti expanded high-end offerings with the Oasis 36M, featuring a new bulbous bow and electric actuators to mitigate oil leak risks. Luxury premieres included Sunreef Yachts’ Sunreef ULTIMA 88 Wasabi, designed for both agility and stability, and Sunseeker’s Manhattan 94 flagship.
On September 9, BlueNav received the Innovation Route Award for its ‘Smart Mooring’ solution.
Following the conclusion of the event, it was noted that the festival hosted over 680 exhibitors across its two primary locations. The Vieux Port focused on motor yachts and marine technology, while Port Canto hosted sailing yachts, brokerage services, and lifestyle experiences. A notable feature included sea trials for direct vessel evaluation. The festival also integrated luxury lifestyle brands, including the participation of Champagne house Louis Roederer and the presentation of a pre-production Range Rover Electric model by Range Rover.
