The 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for boating enthusiasts, reaffirming its status as Europe's premier in-water boat show.
With reimagined models, exciting world premieres, and a new VIP offering from Ancasta, this year's event promises more innovation and elegance than ever before.
As the representative for many of the world's most celebrated power and sail brands, Ancasta invites visitors to step onboard an extraordinary lineup of motorboats and yachts, with expert guidance and a personalised service from its exceptional team.
Discover the latest from Prestige
A major highlight this year is the world premiere of the Prestige M-LINE M7, the latest addition to Prestige's power catamaran lineup.
Designed to offer an unparalleled onboard lifestyle, the M7 delivers the expansive comfort of a 75-foot monohull thanks to its multihull configuration, while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency and a deep connection to the sea. It's a standout expression of the Prestige philosophy - understated luxury, thoughtful innovation, and harmony with the environment.
Joining the M7 at the show will be the Prestige F4.3, F4.9, F5.7, and M48.
A bold new chapter for Beneteau Power
Beneteau Power arrives in Cannes with a powerful statement - unveiling the next-generation Gran Turismo 35 and 40.
The new GT35 reinvents the entry-level sport cruiser, blending dynamic performance with clever space optimisation and sleek aesthetics, while the larger GT40 strikes an ideal balance between sporty handling and elegant onboard living. These two reimagined models are the perfect choice for those who want both excitement and refinement on the water.
Beneteau is also debuting two new additions to its acclaimed trawler range: the Swift Trawler 37 and the Grand Trawler 63. While the 37 Flybridge delivers family-friendly fun in a stylish, compact package, the Grand Trawler 63 builds on the legacy of its predecessor with greater range, luxury, and comfort - ideal for long-distance cruising in style.
Additional Beneteau models on display include the Swift Trawler 41 and 54.
Innovation on display from Bluegame
Representing the cutting edge of design and eco-conscious performance, Bluegame will launch the BGF45 in Cannes - a 45-foot foil-assisted power catamaran inspired by Bluegame's hydrogen-powered America's Cup chase boat.
The BGF45 incorporates a fixed foil, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing drag while offering a stable, smooth ride. It's a testament to Bluegame's commitment to pushing boundaries in both performance and sustainability.
The BGF45 will be showcased alongside an impressive lineup that includes the BG54, BG74, BGX73 and BGM75.
Beneteau Sail launches the 8th generation Oceanis
Visitors to Cannes will be among the first to explore Beneteau Sail's new Oceanis 47 and 52, which mark the beginning of the eighth generation of this iconic cruising range.
The Oceanis 47 is built for those who savour long, leisurely stays at anchor as much as the joy of navigating under full sail. Meanwhile, the Oceanis 52 offers an elevated experience for discerning sailors, combining precision, comfort, and space in a design that sets a new benchmark for luxury cruising.
Visitors will also be able to tour other Beneteau favourites including the Oceanis 40.1, Oceanis Yacht 60, First 53, and First 36.
Lagoon Catamarans unveils the Eighty2
Another major world premiere comes from Lagoon Catamarans with the much anticipated debut of the Lagoon Eighty2.
Evolving from the popular Seventy series, this exceptional new multihull offers expansive, configurable layouts - including four- and five-cabin versions - tailored for long-distance luxury cruising.
The Eighty2 is joined by the brand-new Lagoon 38 and a wide selection of other Lagoon models, including the 43, 46, 51, 55, 60 and Sixty5.
Performance meets luxury with McConaghy Boats
Making its show debut in Cannes is McConaghy Boats' all-new MC68.
Combining luxury and cutting-edge technology, the MC68 offers increased volume, enhanced performance, and outstanding seakeeping for extended cruising. With expansive indoor-outdoor living, a spacious flybridge, and optional crew accommodation, this sleek, fast-cruising catamaran is a standout model in the premium multihull market.
Contest Yachts returns with award-winning cruisers
Rounding out Ancasta's presence at the show, the team will present Contest Yachts' 49CS and the celebrated 63CS, which was awarded European Yacht of the Year 2025 in the luxury cruiser category. Built for long-range, performance cruising, these Dutch-built yachts offer a sophisticated balance of comfort and capability.
