The most interesting boats at Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

A great number of fascinating boats will have their world debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2023. We have selected a few of them to tell you about, waiting for the opportunity to experience them live.

Sea Ray SPX210 OB

The outboard version of the Sea Ray 210 SPX, the OB model is a bowrider (“archetype of the family powerboat”) in ”European style” that simultaneously preserves the specificity of the genre. The transmission mode, which is more economical in terms of maintenance, makes it easier to access shallow water areas without affecting the sportiness of the boat in any way. A fun, high-performance outboard craft for comfortable sea trips, which will be world premiered at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023.

Lomac Granturismo 14.0

A 14-meter semi-rigid boat, it constitutes the perfect balance of design, comfort and performance. The hulls are optimized through specific studies, the lamination is built by vacuum infusion of vinylester resins, the gelcoat is neopentyl and aramid fibers to reinforce t-top, deck and hull. Last but not least, the design is 100% made in Italy. Another world premiere we can’t wait to enjoy.

Cormate T-28

A Norwegian-designed monohull with outstanding finishes and remarkable details, the Cormate T-28 combines the ease of use of a center console with the comfort of a day cruiser, and offers an open and inviting layout that allows easy access to all of the boat’s outdoor spaces. A boat to enjoy day and night, which we are sure will be among the most welcome world premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023.

Solaris Power 52

Italian shipyard Solaris enriches its open cruiser fleet with the Solaris 52 Open, the largest model in the Solaris range. At 16 meters long, Solaris 52 Open takes up the concept of Mediterranean open boats, with large outdoor spaces dedicated to relaxation and rest, while also offering a nice interior volume with two pleasant cabins.

Prestige M8

The new motor multihull from the Italian shipyard Prestige offers smooth and serene navigation as well as more environmentally friendly due to its guaranteed reduced energy consumption. In fact, the architecture of the Prestige M8 makes it possible to cut fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in half compared to a monohull with the same living volume.

Fountaine Pajot New 80

The New 80 from Fountaine Pajot is a nearly 24-meter sailing multihull composed of new spaces that do not exist on other models of this size: these include two side cockpits with opening flaps, a beach club totally oriented toward the sea to enjoy moorings, and storage areas designed for toys, such as front trunks for paddles. A boat that we are sure will win the hearts of owners visiting the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023.

Azimut Magellano 60

A crossover that expresses an explorer’s spirit enhanced by the sailing prowess of a dual hull
mode, Azimut’s Magellano 60 is a 25-meter monohull that is part of the Italian shipyard’s family of low-emission yachts, thanks to a 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Practical information about Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

As every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 will stretch between the Vieux Port and Port Canto, with motorboats, their equipment, and the “luxury gallery” on one side; and the sailing universe, brokerage space, and nautical toys on the other. A sea shuttle service connecting the two ports is accessible to all visitors and exhibitors, with three boarding points at Vieux Port and two points at Port Canto. Departures approximately every fifteen minutes.

For the third consecutive year, the Cannes Yachting Festival ticketing will be 100% digital, so there will be no ticket sales at the show’s entrances.
