Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 premieres

The Cannes Yachting Festival scheduled for 10-15 September 2024 is one of the most significant events in the yachting industry 

It is for this event that most shipyards prepare their world premieres and start announcing the novelties since the middle of summer. We will tell you about the new boats, which will be showcased in Cannes and update their list as the shipyards reveal more information about their premieres. 

Evo R4+ 

Length: 13 m

Shipyard: Evo Yachts (Italy)

At the Cannes Festival Evo Yachts will unveil its Evo R4+, a new model built on the basis of Evo R+, whose world premier took place at the Cannes Festival a year earlier. The shipyard had a goal to enhance the main deck space and add functionality to it with the help of modular solutions for the aft section. The yacht's hard top can be partially opened depending on the weather and individual needs. The bathing platform can add a meter to the boat in length when it’s open and can be lowered to about 80 centimetres below the sea surface. Just like other Evo Yachts, the new R4+ features the “XTension” system, which can increase the beach area by 40% with the help of a hydraulic drive that opens the bulwarks. 

One

Length: 34.1 m

Shipyard: Van der Valk (Holland)

This boat is likely to become one of the most exciting debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival this year. She was commissioned by experienced owners, who wanted to blend their own design with a proven hull form. 

Otam 90 GTS Sexy me

Length: 27.8 m

Shipyard: Otam (Italy)

The flagship of Fast and Iconic series, Sexy Me is quite close to custom boats. Otam always builds really small series and provides a highest level of customization. In this case, it is a semi-enclosed model (no doors aft), designed for accommodating a large number of guests on board. The Otam 90 GTS features numerous elements of F1 car design, and the performance characteristics are relevant to her appearance: with twin engines of 2600 hp and Arneson drives, during the sea trials Sexy Me reached a top speed of 45 knots, exceeding the speed specified in the contract by three knots.

Pershing GTX80

Length: 23.9 m

Shipyard: Pershing (Italy)

Just like all Pershing boats, the GTX80 looks sporty, but stands out for ample spaces on board, and not only inside. The yacht has two decks and a really ample sportbridge, which is more like a flybridge in terms of space area. There is a split-level beach area aft. On the whole, the open deck area offered by Pershing GTX 80 is extraordinarily large for a sport yacht.

AB125

Length: 39 m

Shipyard:  AB Yachts (Italy) 

Despite a really sporty profile, the interior of the new AB125 offers an impressive volume of usable space, and it is transformable. Once open, the sliding doors of the saloon connect the interiors and exteriors and unite the saloon, aft cockpit and beach area into a single area of 140 sq.m. Moreover, the AB125 is capable of reaching a staggering top speed of 40 knots.

AB 110

Length: 33.5 m

Shipyard:  AB Yachts (Italy) 

This model is the pioneer in the new generation of sportbridge superyachts. The boat features simple, clean lines and expansive glazing. What is really amazing about her, is the draft of just 1.25 m, which allows the AB110 to navigate shallow waters safely and anchor right by the shore. Three MAN engines with water jets ensure a crusing speed of 45 knots and an impressive top speed of up to 50 knots! 

Flexplorer 146 Maverick

Length: 44.3 m

Shipyard:  Cantiere delle Marche (Italy)

The first of the trio of Flexplorer 146 yachts (two more hulls are under construction now), Maverick was launched in November 2023.

There is also a well-appointed diving centre on board. 

Custom Line Navetta 38 

Length: 38.8 m

Shipyard:  Custom Line (Italy) 

At the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 the yard will showcase the first Navetta 38 christened Telli.

The superyacht offers accommodation in five cabins, including the owner’s suite of over 40 sq. m on the main deck.

Numarine 30XP

The first unit named Minella can accommodate 10 guests and a crew of five. The yard offers various layout options for the owners to be able to tailor the space in accordance with their individual needs. 

Sanlorenzo SP92

Length: 27.95 m

Shipyard: Sanlorenzo (Italy)

This yacht is the second Open Сoupé in the new Sanlorenzo range. SP stands for Smart Performance. It implies that the yacht is aimed at those who value a combination of speed with elegance and energy efficiency. Just like her elder sister, the SP110, the new yacht will be equipped with water jets, but instead of three engines, she will be powered by two. Twin MAN V12 will ensure she has a top speed of 40 knots. The SP92 offers accommodation for six to eight guests and a crew of four. 

Sanlorenzo SL86A

Length: 26.60 m

Shipyard: Sanlorenzo (Italy)

The second Sanlorenzo premiere at the Cannes Festival is the planing flybridge SL86A. She will be will be the most compact model in Sanlorenzo Assymetry range. It was important for the shipyard to demonstrate how smart its non-trivial approach to working with space may be even on a relatively small yacht. Just like other Sanlorenzo models in the Assymetry range, she has no portside walkway. This allowed the designers to extend the area of the saloon considerably, and with the dining area right by the starboard side, the guests are brought as close to the sea as possible and can admire panoramic views. With the arrival of the S86A, now all of Sanlorenzo SL range features the assymetric layout of the main deck 

WiderCat 92

Length: 28.04 m

Shipyard: Wider (Italy)

Another new model from Wider is for those with a need for speed. The yard compares this all-aluminium high-performance yacht to a supercar – and not just because of her look, with a powerful inverted bow and a low superstructure, but for the excellent maneuverability and ability to reach a top speed of 40 knots really fast.
