The world’s largest boat builders use Cannes to strut their latest launches before the yachting world, and what a show it promises to be. Canceled last year due to Covid, next week’s event from September 7-12 promises a banner display in one of the Med’s most beautiful ports, with multiple launches across all segments. The show is divided between the Vieux Port, with 450 motorboats and yachts up to 150 feet, to Porto Canto with 108 new launches in the Sailing Area and 50 brokerage yachts.

Cannes will also include a special area for electric boats, multihulls, and innovative designs as well as a sea-trial area. The Luxury Gallery is for owners who want to see the latest designs and equipment, while two special sections called The Jetée and Superyacht Extension are devoted to the show’s largest yachts. After last year’s shortage of major boat shows, including Monaco and Miami, Cannes promises a return to a new normal in the yachting world, populated by pent-up demand and many newcomers.

These 10 yachts are not only some of the largest at this year’s show, but also herald many innovations in design, usage of exterior and interior space, and range of styles. It’s going to be a good year for yachting.

Riva 76 Perseo Super

The multi-award-winning Riva 76’ Perseo is hard to beat. But that’s exactly what the new Riva 76’ Perseo Super aims to do. Over 431-square-foot of glazed surfaces on the hull and superstructure characterize the yacht’s sleek profile, while the sun deck provides a second helm and much sought-after place to relax in privacy. Plus, it reflects the best of the Italian builder’s signature craftsmanship.

Azimut Yachts Grande Trideck

Azimut Yachts’ new flagship Grande Trideck elevates al fresco life to the next level. The all-new living area, named the Sea View Terrace, is an aft raised mezzanine deck for the ultimate sun-kissed experience. It is one of four onboard terraces which, when viewed from the stern, give the visual effect of cascading levels flowing from the sundeck down to the glistening sea. Very grande indeed.

Wally WHY200

Wally Yachts has gone back to the future with its daring new WHY200. It’s described as a “cool new space ship” by the builder of some of yachting’s most adventurous designs. This latest Wally is remarkable since it packs 200 gross tons of interior volume into an 89-foot hull. There are plenty of features to love, including the open rear sections. But the real wow factor is the gargantuan 398-square-foot owner’s suite, located in the bow. With wraparound windows and 200-degree views, Wally says it creates the sensation of floating above the water—a concept that Marty McFly would definitely embrace.

Benetti Motopanfilo 37M

Benetti’s Motopanfilo 37M is an elegant take on a retro classic. Inspired by its Navetta from the ’60s, which entertained a range of guests from Prince Rainier of Monaco and rock star David Bowie, the new 121-foot version is a thoroughly modern makeover, with a retro-but-contemporary exterior by Francesco Struglia and beautiful, imaginative interior design by Lazzarini Pickering Architetti.

Bering Yachts B70

For owners who like the idea of a new-build yacht with proven engineering but want to customize the finish, Bering’s rugged B70 might be the answer. Sporting an axe-bow hull shape that “slices through waves,” according to the company, the seaworthy vessel lets owners personalize fabrics, finishes, furniture and even cabin configurations to create their very own dream boats.

Sanlorenzo SL120 Asymmetric

Sanlorenzo’s unique design innovation is back, this time with the aptly named SL 120 Asymmetric. The name comes from both the internal and external layouts: There is only one passage on the 120-footer’s main deck on the portside, while inside, the dining room occupies one side of the salon, and the living area is on the other. The open-plan space and floor-to-ceiling windows that run the length of the salon give a luxurious residential feel. This non-traditional choice works well, increasing not only the interior volume, but the owners’ connection with the sea. 

Palumbo Yachts Extra X86 “Haze”

The “Extra” in Palumbo’s Extra X86 stands for space. Space in the salon, space on the aft deck and space in the 538-square-foot beach club. The owners of Haze set out to create a penthouse on the water, and it’s fair to say the glass-encased, three-level cockpit achieves it. Oh, and there’s a 270-square-foot “roof terrace” flybridge to match. A beautiful, unusual design.

CDM Flexplorer “Aurelia”

An explorer vessel with attitude, Aurelia , the new Flexplorer from Cantiere delle Marche, features an on-deck, 3.5-ton crane capable of safely launching all manner of water toys, including the boat’s 28-foot Jokerboat Clubman tender. At anchor, the yacht has collapsible bulwarks that fold down on both sides to create an epic beach club area of more than 1,200 square feet.

Baglietto “Panam”

When an owner asked for “speed and a dynamic character,” Baglietto answered with the 131-foot Panam . The boat’s lightweight aluminum hull, three MTU V16 2000 engines, and 3 KaMeWa waterjets push it to a highly impressive 31 knots. Penciled by Francesco Paszkowski Design, the steel-colored exterior cuts a sleek, wedge-shaped profile on the water, with drop-down balconies for waterside lounging.

Inspired by aeronautical and automotive design—glossy, black grilles in the aft bulwarks—we singled out the Otam 70HT for two owner-requested custom features. These include the up-and-down electric glass window that separates the interior lounge from the exterior cockpit, and the removal of a tender garage in favor of a larger beach club. That helps with performance, which is Otam’s historic signature. The Italian builder says, with the right engines, the 70HT can blast past 50 knots–lightning-fast for a boat this size.

Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 to be held from 6th to 11th September

• Alex Giuzio
• July 2, 2022

Cannes Yachting Festival reopens from 6 to 11 September to present, as has been customary for the past 45 years, the best of the international offer of motor yachts and sailing boats, monohull or multihull. The inaugural event of the boating season and Europe’s largest in-water show, the Cannes Yachting Festival will be staged from the Vieux Port to Port Canto, i.e. from one end to the other of the famous Croisette in the French yachting capital.

Launched in 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has over time become an unmissable appointment for luxury yachting, reaching staggering numbers: last year there were 620 yachts present and almost 600 exhibitors, in an eclectic selection that attracted to the French coastal resort the main yachting players from all over the world, who gathered to open the boating season and display their novelties and world premières.

This year too, our editorial staff will be present at the show to report on it in every detail through articles, interviews, photos, videos and sea trials.

The new visual identity of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022

Sylvie Ernoult , director of Cannes Yachting Festival , said, “We are delighted to unveil our new image and to have successfully illustrated both the countless assets of the Yachting Festival and the atmosphere of the show, which I feel is nothing short of magical. The exhibitors and visitors here alongside us last year could sense this special atmosphere as much as we could. Despite a difficult public health context, we all took real pleasure in coming together and seeing boats ‘in the flesh’ rather than online! 2021 saw record visitor numbers, with over 54,000 visitors coming to admire 110 new boats between 10 and 35 metres (32 and 114 feet) in the Sailing Area, over 480 motor boats between 5 and 45 metres (16 and 147 feet) in the Vieux Port, and of course the second-hand boats over 22 metres (72 feet) exhibited in-water in the Yacht Brokerage Area. They were also able to discover the new Innovation Area for the ‘smart’ start-ups of the nautical sector, as well as over 50 exhibitors presenting an environmentally friendly concept with the new ‘Green Route’.Our goal for 2022 is to both expand the offer of the show and to give greater visibility to eco-friendly approaches, new technologies and luxury in the noblest possible way.”

Exclusive: On board the Princess S80 debuting at the Cannes Yachting Festival

A sports yacht with a cruising soul, the S80 ’s DNA is born out of a hull that might end up being the best 25-metre platform to grace the seas, says Carl Richardson. He steps on board the new S Class flagship before its world debut at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival.

First, an admission. Despite plenty of effort on all sides, this isn’t a full test. Time, tides and the demands of the boat show calendar meant we could not get out to sea. Instead, we were given a backstage-style tour with the design and technical teams.

The Princess S80 is the latest sportsbridge chapter in a story that can be traced back over a decade to the Princess V85-S, an impossibly powerful and daring yacht at the time. Since then, the British yacht builder has been a leader in sportsbridge design, leading us to this 70-tonne model, hitting around 32 knots with twin 2,000hp MANs. These figures are important because the boat the S80 replaces is the 50-tonne S78 that can hit 38 knots with 1,900hp MANs.

Performance and speed are key for any genuine sportsbridge model, and so we start with a new boat that is heavier and slower than its predecessor, but it is also bigger in every key area. The S80 uses the same hull as the flybridge Y80 and the Tardis-like X80. The modified V planing design from naval architect Olesinski runs on shafts (as nature intended) and can push each yacht to around 30 knots while delivering the same, class-leading four-ensuite-cabin lower deck.

Speaking to Princess design director Andy Lawrence, a lot of thought went into not only making a different kind of S flagship but also into the hull itself. “It was always going to be a three-boat 25-metre platform running on shafts, we aren’t looking at pods for larger boats. The challenge was creating a hull that would perform as well on the S as it does on the X, two very different boats.”

The X80 does work – according to BOATPro it is one of the best-selling yachts in its class. But it is a much bigger boat than the S80 above the deckline, meaning it is not just about managing extra weight but where that weight is.

Andy Lawrence explains: “The X80 has a much higher CG (Centre of Gravity), but working with our partners Olesinski, over many iterations, we found the right balance.” These iterations included increasing the beam for greater volume, while extending the waterline to hit the speeds expected of an S Class yacht.

Ultimately, Princess delivered three different 25-metre models that all run fast, with the expected option of a MAN 2,200hp engine option delivering the possibility of 36 knots for the S80.

R&D & then some

Princess is a global powerhouse, but its success is anchored by the people at its yard in Plymouth, England. Alex Cleverly was part of the technical team showing us over the boat, but until very recently he was a Princess delivery skipper. He made his first trip at age 16 and regularly clocked up 16,000 nautical miles a year – “I was the person who started work when everyone else was leaving for home, collecting a yacht for delivery to Scandinavia or the Mediterranean,” he explains.

Alex made detailed reports from a skipper’s point of view, on things like visibility, spray, where water might pool on deck, the lumber of the helm seat or access to engineering points. In short, the kind of research and development (R&D) that money can’t buy – and all that knowledge is now on the inside.

Princess ideology has long been about balance, that sweet spot between space, style and performance. Immediate impressions are good. The S80 looks low, sleek and powerful in the water, its extra length allowing its lines to stretch out, the upper sportsbridge barely visible within the rake of the roofline. Where some sportsbridge models might have more than a little flybridge height and bulk to help increase interior space, the S80 is pure performance yacht.

Given that so much conversation about any modern yacht is about volume and accommodation, it was refreshing to hear Andy talk about the importance of style. “The key was the sportsbridge. On a yacht like this, profile is everything, we wanted a big sportsbridge deck, but one you couldn’t actually see!”

Before I get too idealistic on sports style, there will be a hard top option for the S80 which makes perfect sense for a good number of boating reasons, but will change the yacht’s low-down, growling profile (I'm hoping a few emotionally led buyers stick with the standard awning so the rest of us can enjoy the original lines).

Moving up the easy aft deck steps, the sportsbridge is a vast social expanse of yacht style with the driving position rightly set at its heart. It’s a noticeably and provably bigger and better deck than the S78. The extra foot (0.3 metres) of beam works wonders. There is so much deck space but also vast and separate areas of seating plus a massive barbecue and bar, a central island of cold storage and room for a pop-up TV.

It’s the same story back on the aft deck. A familiar Princess layout sees two massive asymmetric pads flank your journey up from the hydraulic platform and garage. But things are different here and it’s another key part of the S80 design. With more room to use, the deck now has three separate social areas, dining, sunbathing and lounging, without the need to convert or move anything. Better still, it’s all done with space to spare and masses of stowage space worked in.

Again, there are no happy accidents here. The initial design saw the staircase and dining table in different positions, but the full-scale mock-ups Princess employs for every new model changed that. We now have a walkaround dining table to port with superb views out over the deck and sea beyond.

Glass-panelled flanks extend aft from the superstructure to ensure that, with the view, privacy and protection are also ensured. The sportsbridge overhang keeps everything feeling intimate and beautifully lit at night - there’s even air-conditioning overhead and the option to enclose the dining area with awnings.

The rest of the decks are just as good. The side decks sit within waist-high bulwarks with gates each side and deep storage lockers forward. Even with the superstructure pushing forward, Princess has found a good deal of space for the foredeck lounge, where eight guests can gather in circular conviviality.

Power of 3 + 5

The S80 is the first Princess to have three lower helm seats. That may not immediately look like a headline moment for a 25-metre performance boat, but it points to something else. Everywhere you go on this boat, from the sportsbridge to the main dining table, its eight guests are able to gather and be together. Whether it’s enjoying the ride or lunch, on the S80, no one gets left behind.

The galley aft design plays a rightfully central role on the main deck. It’s part of the social scene, not hidden away below. A massive piece of glass hinges up to open inside to out, with a bordering storage unit sneaking in a pop-up TV. 

The S80 is probably going to be crewed (by no more than two people given the tight quarters in the stern) but it is a social boat and guests will love the galley, dipping into the Sub-Zero refrigerator, massive drawer-style freezers or just hanging around the bar area. Storage space is off the scale, the galley’s multiple dedicated lockers include a pop-up pantry while across the way there is a deep, long sideboard.

Dining is clearly intended to be al fresco on the S80, but you can option a table for the saloon – it can handle the extra furniture. The saloon is massive, another heady example of Princess' ability to deliver interior space, harmony and splendour with an ease few other yards can match. Height and glass play an important part. Huge, 6ft (1.8-metre) high sections of glass line the saloon and, with the optional glass-panelled sunroof and helm side door open, it’s like you never left the deck.

If light and splendour invite you in, the deep, low sofas ensure you won’t leave in a hurry. The best seating area (isn't it always) is the smallest. The raised lounge forward, up by the helm, is a great spot at any time of day, but it’s the perfect guest spot when underway - kudos to whoever had the foresight to subtly lower the forward finishing panel to ensure the best possible view forward.

Anyone who has been aboard the X80 or Y80 will be familiar with the four cabin-layout below decks. The S version has its own smart, performance-edged colour palette and materials, but it will be the peerless layout that wins you over. Four class-leading ensuite cabins will look after eight guests with ease, including the owner’s stateroom which is a perfect blend of style, space and luxury wrapped in deep glass hull windows. A useful upgrade on the S78, there are now separate entrances for the walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

The forward VIP is equally impressive with an outstanding ensuite and more storage space than seems necessary – and I never, ever think that. There’s a sense of fraternity going on here too, with each cabin featuring the same style notes as the stateroom, including plenty of solid wood to go with the coolly understated but always inviting modern interior finish.

Beyond the looks and luxury, this is a boat designed for the owner to drive, when the fancy takes them, and for their guests to join in on the experience of 70 tonnes carving through the water at 32 knots. Both the upper and lower help stations look and feel like a performance yacht should, with deep, supportive seats and an array of screens and dials. But just as important are the flanks of guest-seating each side of the sportsbridge helm or the elevated lounge to port of the lower helm.

Initial sea trials, with a light load but 12 people on board, recorded 36 knots powered by the standard twin MAN 2,000hp engines, so the official top speed of 32 knots looks nailed on. The MAN 2,200hp option will suit owners who like to cruise faster while adding two or three knots to the top speed. Talking to the Princess team, you get the feeling the extra power is also about the new S flagship being able to match the outgoing one – a competitive spirit I very much endorse.

To say Princess has a reputation for good design, is a bit like saying Patel-Philipe makes accurate timepieces. The S80, like all its stablemates, simply doesn’t put a foot wrong inside or out. The proportions are near-perfect, the styling confident without being challenging and the finish always brings that little bit extra – as with the use of solid woods and semi-custom levels of choice and detail.

The nearest yacht in terms of onboard luxury, design and space is the Azimut S10 . The S10 is a very fine vessel with an unmatched sense of performance yacht cool, but it is 9ft (3 metres) longer and notably more money. The fact it is the S80’s most obvious competitor says everything you need to know about how good a boat this is.

The only possible downside for an S80 owner might be the unnerving sight of a Princess X80 keeping up with you. For anyone concerned about such an event, the MAN 2,200hp engine is the upgrade for you.

Princess S80 technical specs Length overall: 25.44m Beam: 6.07m Draft: 1.82m Berths: 8 people Displacement approx. (half load): 67,308kg  (148,389Ibs) * Fuel capacity: 1,430 gal / 1,717 US gal / 7,000 l Water capacity (excl. calorifier): 1,480 l Engines: TWIN MAN V12-2000 (2 x 2,000mhp) Maximum speed: range – 31-33 knots+

By Frances Flannagan

Kicking off the yacht show season, Cannes Yachting Festival is set to return from the 12th-17th of September for its 46th edition. It is a highly celebrated boat show, enjoyed by over 50,000 visitors, with boats ranging from 5 metres to 50 metres on display.

Located on the two luxurious ports of Cannes, the Vieux Port and the Port Canto, the Cannes Yachting Festival has been an industry favourite since 1977. The show offers nearly 650 boats each year, with the biggest actors in the industry and their latest innovations contributing to the unparalleled, eclectic feel of the festival. 

Over 600 exhibitors attend the show, from the industry’s most celebrated boat manufacturers to luxury lifestyle brands, meaning that visitors can enjoy the full range of specialities that the industry offers. The exceptional opportunities that Cannes Yachting Festival offers is endless; not only is Port Canto set to be the largest sailing yacht exhibition in the world, there is also the opportunity to speak with leading industry experts at the Palais des Festivals to discover the latest yachting trends and gain an expert insight into industry. Cannes itself is the ultimate luxury destination, with an array of stunning beaches, spectacular shopping opportunities, and breathtaking views and scenery. 

New to this year's show is the Small Boat Area; a floating space dedicated to 8m - 11m yachts, highlighting the festival’s exceptional initiative of showcasing a diverse range of yachts to attendees. Alongside this new addition, there are a plethora of exciting areas on offer throughout the festival. The Start-Up Village, located in the heart of the sailing area at Port Canto, is home to intelligent start-ups in the nautical sector offering high added-value services and breakthrough technologies. The festival has created a ‘Green Route’ to highlight the eco-high performance solutions proposed by the exhibitors, a concept introduced to the festival last year. The 'Green Route's' success is evident as it has been brought back for the 2023 show. This feature combined with the festival’s aims to reduce its activities’ environmental impact showcases its dedication to the sustainable future of the nautical industry.

Various debuts are set to attend Cannes Yachting Festival, highlighting its important place in the industry as an event in which new yachts and innovations are showcased for the first time. Amongst these debuts is the new Riva 82 Diva, which marks a new chapter in the reimagined use of space with a flybridge of 40 square metres. The wallywhy150 is another attendee, with a length of 24.1m and an exceptional execution of design, with interior volumes being unparalleled for a yacht of her size, along with a 270 degree view in the owners cabin.

Yachts boasting impressive design features are not the only vessels to be making their debut; the Magellano 60 built by Azimut represents a new vessel that enjoys long voyages at sea in an economical way. Built on the brand's second-generation dual-mode hull, it delivers up to 20 percent less fuel consumption than yachts of a similar size. The range of yachts that attend Cannes Yachting Festival highlight the range of expertise that are showcased: from impeccable design to breakthrough technology. 

The festival is bound to be a showstopping start to the yachting show season, and the forty years of experience behind the event set the precedent for another remarkable show at Cannes in September. 

"Thanks to the renewed confidence of our exhibitors, this 2023 edition is looking very good with similar forecasts to the previous year, i.e. 600 exhibitors, more than 650 boats and 140 previews." Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Yachting Festival

31 of the best new boats at Cannes Yachting Festival 2022

• Top stories

Europe’s biggest on-water boat show returns next month (Sept 6-11), and we’ve picked out the cream of the crop at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival.

The 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival is almost upon us and once again it promises to be a bumper show, drawing in boat lovers from across the Continent and beyond.

In total, there are scheduled to be more than 400 motorboats on show, including 135 world premieres, more than anyone could hope to visit in the 5 days of the show (although Hugo and Alex are going to give it their best shot!).

So we’ve picked out a few dozen that are really worth your attention, ranging from a 32ft Italian dayboat that’s available with a marble deck to a 145ft Turkish superyacht .

The slick new design integrates plunging windows with see-through gunwales for outstanding views out

Absolute 56 Fly

The new Absolute 56 Fly is exactly the kind of boat we tend to associate with this Italian builder. On the main deck, there are open railings, cutaway gunwales and transparent panels in the transom gates to maximise visibility.

Huge drop-down side windows also help open out the main deck saloon, while bringing plenty of fresh air into the lounge. The aft galley is well positioned to keep the modular cockpit and flybridge well serviced for food and drink.

And on the upper level, the hardtop features integrated solar panels to help reduce dependence on the diesel generator during a lengthy cruise away from shore power.

Walkaround decks and stairs at both ends make the semi-enclosed upper deck a really versatile and user-friendly space

You may not have heard of Aquila powercats yet but they have been hugely successful in the US and are now on their way here courtesy of UK importer Approved Boats.

Built in China with design input from the US, the Aquila line-up includes three outboard -powered models – the Aquila 28, Aquila 32 and Aquila 36 – and three shaft-drive models – the Aquila 44, Aquila 54 and Aquila 70.

We caught up with the Aquila 54 Yacht at the Palm Beach Boat Show in March, fighting with weekend crowds to see why it has proved so successful – 75 orders since it was launched last year.

Read more about the Aquila 54

Astondoa 677 Coupe

Astondoa has never been unduly worried about frightening the horses with the styling of its new boats. When the 677 Coupe is unveiled in Cannes, it looks likely to cause a stampede…

With its bold window shapes, dramatic glazed bulwarks and confident axe-bow profile, the Astondoa 677 is more than attention-seeking, it’s almost shouty – every bit as aggressive as the Spanish shipyard’s 377, but twice the size.

But once the scary styling has grabbed your attention, and it will, you’ll discover a practical sportscruiser with a lot going for it, from its hard top with opening sunroof and spacious external seating fore and aft, to a stylish Cristiano Gatto interior design.

Read more about the Astondoa 677 Coupe

Side decks rise up and over the main deck master cabin

Azimut Grande 36M

The new Azimut Grande 36M is an object lesson in the fluid integration of onboard space.

In fact, like the rest of the Grande line, it aims not just to integrate the various zones on board the boat but to eradicate the barriers that traditionally divide them.

While there are rewarding design choices all over, one of the key concepts on the Azimut Grande 36M is the semi-walkaround upper deck.

The Bering 145 was launched in Antalya on April 28 and named M/Y Heeus

Turkish shipyard Bering has established a reputation for building no-nonsense ocean crossing passagemakers, but its new Bering 145 flagship is its most ambitious project yet.

With a full displacement steel hull of just over 500 tonnes and an aluminium superstructure, the Bering 145 combines a fuel capacity of 95,600 litres with a parallel hybrid drive system for a range of 12,000nm at a cruising speed of 9 knots.

Under conventional diesel power the range is still a staggering 5,000nm at 8 knots; the maximum speed is 15 knots. The yacht’s hybrid system drives the propellers via electric motors that are powered by a bank of batteries that are recharged by variable speed generators.

Read more about the Bering 145

Canados Oceanic 143

The latest flagship of Canados’s Oceanic range is this impressive explorer-style yacht.

The Canados Oceanic 143 features a short superstructure and a huge open aft deck, which is dedicated to fine dining and elegant lounging about, rather than the suite of tenders and water toys generally found aboard its intrepid cousins.

But it’s still a versatile platform with a broad appeal, its triple engines offering an impressive top speed, as well as efficient low-speed cruising for a range of 4,000 nautical miles at ten knots.

Read more about the Canados Oceanic 143

The stylish D36 is one of the most original multi-purpose day boats around

De Antonio D36 Open

The replacement for the D34, the new De Antonio D36 exhibits a lot of the traits we’ve come to enjoy from the Barcelona-based yard.

While the De Antonio D36 features a longer hull then the D34, with twin steps and a deeper vee, it retains De Antonio’s classic party piece in the form of its ‘hidden’ outboards .

Available with twin 300 to 450hp motors, it uses a boxed-in sunbed section above the engines to help extend the cockpit’s usable space and minimise engine noise.

Read more about the De Antonio D36 Open

Revised windowline and sleek new superstructure look very elegant

Fairline Phantom 65

While Fairline is planning to unveil a revised Squadron 68 at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival , the more noteworthy and radical world debut is likely to involve the new Phantom 65.

Heralded as Fairline’s first ever ‘sportsbridge’ yacht, it aims to take the external form of the award-winning Targa 65 and add a revised windowline and a low-slung fly deck to the mix for tri-deck flexibility alongside a beautifully streamlined sportscruiser aesthetic.

With long, blade-like hull windows and a deep-set flybridge that blends gently into the curved roof mouldings and radar arch as you move aft of the boat’s centreline, it’s clearly a success from a stylistic perspective.

Read more about the Fairline Phantom 65

The new Ferretti 860 is designed to combine luxury with a surprising turn of speed

Ferretti 860

The Ferretti 860 is a supremely luxurious tri-deck motor yacht with an internal arrangement that lends itself perfectly to crewed cruising for eight.

On the main deck, floor-to-ceiling windows and cutaway bulwarks create superb views from the saloon and dining area, which is separated from the semi-raised pilothouse by the fully-enclosed galley, which enables the crew to go about their business without interrupting the day spaces.

A spiral staircase to starboard leads down to the midships owner’s cabin , forward VIP and two further guest cabins, offering outstanding space and privacy. Two crew cabins occupy the forepeak, both with twin-bunk beds and ensuites.

Read more about the Ferretti 860

The Fiart P54 name may not be terribly familiar – it’s an Italian acronym for ‘factories for the application of thermo-hardening resins’ – but a start date of 1960 makes Fiart a pretty early adopter of the new-fangled boatbuilding material. The company is based in Baia, near Naples.

Designed inside and out by Stephano Pastrovich, the new Fiart P54 is a true head-turner in a competitive sector, with dramatic styling, plenty of horsepower and a lively turn of speed.

Outdoor seating is arranged in a secure central area for use when under way, and a lower lounging area aft when at anchor.

Read more about the Fiart P54

With their bold styling, high performance and capable hulls, today’s German-built Fjords are every bit as appealing as their Scandinavian ancestors.

The new Fjord 53 XL is based on the hull of the company’s earlier 52 models, the extra length not only providing more space on deck (this model has the largest T-top and deck area that Fjord has ever designed) but also allowing the engines to be set further back, to create more volume below.

The amount of customisation on offer is mind boggling for a production boat. Naturally, hull, deck mouldings and fabric colours are up for grabs but there is also an enormous amount of play in the physical layout of the main deck as well as the arrangement of accommodation on the lower deck.

Read more about the Fjord 53XL

Grand Banks 85

As the largest boat Grand Banks has ever built, this new 87ft explorer has been designed with serious attention to how a proper long-distance cruiser tends to be used.

While the 22ft beam brings all kinds of flexibility in terms of internal layouts, hull number 1 has been specced with three enormous staterooms, plus self-contained crew quarters that provide useful overspill accommodation for guests.

Built on an elongated version of the Grand Banks V-Warp hull, which employs vacuum-infused E-Glass with carbon fibre reinforcements, preliminary testing has shown the new boat to be in its element at around 21 knots.

According to Grand Banks, that makes the hull not just safe and comfortable in rough seas but also extremely efficient for long-distance passages. Whether equipped with the standard Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines or 1300hp MAN diesels, a range in excess of 2,000nm is well within reach.

And even at 25 knots, the new boat is expected to return class-leading fuel flow figures of just 216 lph.

Read more about the Grand Banks 85

Gulf Craft Majesty 120

Based in the UAE and celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Gulf Craft is a long-established builder of high-end motor yachts which has yet to make much of an impression in western markets.

The new Gulf Craft Majesty 120 might start to change all that, however, with its handsome profile, designed in-house along with the hull naval architecture, and a chic, ultra-modern interior courtesy of Cristiano Gatto.

The 120 is a substantial two-and-a-half-decker with two double VIPs and a pair of twin-berth ensuites on the lower deck, and a wide-body main deck design forward which allows for a generously proportioned owner’s cabin stretching across the yacht’s full beam.

Read more about the Gulf Craft Majesty 120

Invictus GT320S

An Italian yard that makes some delectable-looking boats, Invictus seems to pay as much attention to close-up finishes and design details as to their boats’ distinctive, characterful styling and competent, performance-oriented naval architecture.

This latest Invictus GT320S, also designed by the talented Christian Grande, promises to make as much of a splash as its predecessors, designed as it is around outboard power, with two 300s on the show boat – surely adequate for all but the most rabid speed freak – and the assurance that if you want even more, it can take a pair of 450s.

With the engines conveniently hanging off the back, the cockpit can come into its own, which on the Invictus GT320S is simple and spacious, with an L-shaped arrangement of bench seats and an expanse of level sole which Invictus naturally claims to be bigger than any of its rivals.

Read more about the Invictus GT320S

Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly

This new Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, the flagship of the range, packs a lot into its 40ft. In the enclosed saloon, the rotating helm seat stays involved in the party, courtesy of a large C-shaped seating section to port.

And that’s echoed up on the flybridge , where there’s also space for a sunbed ahead of the helm. The main deck saloon features an aft galley, which is entirely open to the cockpit, with a fold-out bar that neatly straddles the two spaces.

In the cockpit, a fold-down bulwark and a port side door ramp up the practicality of the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly even further.

Read more about the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly

The NY40 is the second boat to emerge from this ambitious young Italian builder

Nerea Yachts’ new NY40 certainly looks the part. Like the original Nerea NY24, the Nerea NY40 is designed to combine naval tradition and hi-tech innovation with automotive design cues.

It’s tough not to love the herringbone teak decks or the contrasting mix of polished steel, open-knit fabrics, natural leathers and soft-touch lacquers.

The layout looks good too. In the cockpit, the central sunbed, framed in steel and lined with woven yarn, is big enough for three, but it can be expanded, thanks to a pair of drop-down teak tables and a convertible settee.

Read more about the Nerea NY40

Though relatively compact, the ‘entry-level’ Numarine is an authentic long-distance explorer

Numarine 22XP

Securing its spot at the entry point to Numarine’s fleet of long-distance explorer yachts, the new Numarine 22XP retains all the key features that make the larger boats so effective.

In spite of its relatively modest length, the Numarine 22XP comes with a choice of displacement and semi-displacement hulls , plus vast internal volume, a spacious flybridge and class-leading natural light, thanks to Numarine’s famously oversized geometric windows.

The new ‘baby’ Numarine also provides the space for a full-beam owner’s cabin with its own private staircase, plus three ensuite cabins for guests and a compact crew quarters aft.

Read more about the Numarine 22XP

Otam 58 GTS

Based by the sea in Sestri Ponente, near Genoa – and very handy for the airport – Otam makes big statements in small numbers.

The new GTS version of the shipyard’s popular Otam 58 joins the Open and Hard Top models and boasts a re-style by BG Design that features a wraparound windscreen and a fixed hard top, to keep the 55-knot breeze out and the sun off.

Huge quantities of horsepower and Arneson surface drives combine with high-tech construction in Aramat – a Kevlar-glass composite – and vinylester resin, to form a light, stiff, no-nonsense structure created with the sole purpose of going as fast as possible, while offering a reasonably comfortable ride, without coming apart.

Read more about the Otam 58 GTS

This elegant party platform can be specced with a galley-up or galley-down layout

A key element of the new Pardo GT52 ‘crossover’ design is its ability to deliver a more sociable boating experience thanks to the natural continuity of its interior and exterior spaces.

It features a trio of aft windows that can be hinged upwards to integrate the internal saloon with the aft cockpit.

That cockpit is well used with a pair of aft-facing seats that connect with the alfresco dining table without obstructing the walkaround deck.

Read more about the Pardo 52GT

Pershing GTX116

Although it would be easy to call the new Pershing GTX116 a sportfly, its category-confounding style and deck layout suggest a crossover label might be closer to the mark. In stark contrast to the smoothly raked sportscruisers we’re accustomed to seeing from Pershing , it uses a near vertical windscreen positioned a long way forward, with a snub-nosed bow like the flagship Pershing 140.

And the stern is quite different too, with a trio of terraces that cascade down to sea level, culminating in a pair of transom doors that swing up and out to create a Beach Club. This unusual cab-forward design frees up the space for a more even split between indoor and outdoor entertaining zones.

The main deck cockpit, for instance, is almost as long as the saloon, with room for an aft-facing sofa and chairs, plus a ten-person dining table and a cocktail bar with stools. The living spaces are also keenly impacted by the asymmetrical layout.

With its aft lounge and midships dining area, the open-plan saloon might feel fairly conventional, but the whole structure is actually offset to starboard. That swallows up the space usually reserved for the side deck, radically boosting internal volume, but there’s still a profound sense of integration between the inside and outside spaces.

On the portside, for instance an optional fold-down terrace flows neatly into the internal saloon, thanks to a sliding side door. And two smaller side doors on either side of the bridge also give access to the bow cockpit, where a pair of sunbeds flank an optional spa pool.

In addition to space for five crew, the lower deck includes a full-beam owner’s cabin with twin ensuite shower rooms. There are also two doubles and two twins further forward but if you value an additional lounge area, the fourth cabin can also be specced as a lower dinette.

However, as you might expect of Pershing, none of this internal luxury comes at the expense of on-water performance. Even with the standard set-up of triple 1,800hp MANs on KaMeWa waterjets, you can expect the GTX116 to hit 32.5 knots. And these can be upgraded to 2,000hp for an extra three knots, a fast cruise of 29 knots and a 400nm range.

Read more about the Pershing GTX116

Prestige M48

After more than two years in development, Prestige’s first motor cat is set for its debut at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, and given the ingenuity of its design, it should be well worth a look.

Rather than taking a traditional approach to the internal deck layouts, Prestige has attempted to leverage every inch of the M48’s multihull footprint by means of a full-beam lower deck that makes great use of the region between the hulls.

This is a technique we’ve seen before on boats like Fountaine Pajot’s MY5 and it’s an interesting solution. On the one hand, a low-slung bridge deck opens up plenty of fresh volume, freeing the cabins from the confines of the hulls. On the other, it could reduce efficiency by increasing weight and drag.

Read more about the Prestige M48

Riva 76 Bahamas

Based on the Perseo 76 hull, this new Riva 76 Bahamas Super has a classic retro appeal combined in the cleverest of ways with some pretty cutting-edge thinking.

It was the Riva 88 Florida that first introduced to a breathless world Riva’s cool powered hard top, which shelters the helm and cockpit, but can then swing across to cover the foredeck seating in a single smooth movement. It gets another outing here.

That might be reason enough to put the new Riva 76 Bahamas Super on your shortlist, but there’s more. Two engine options are available, from 1,550s up to 1,800s, mounted under the cockpit and driving traditional straight prop shafts via V-drive transmissions, for a maximum speed of 37 knots. With the 1,550s the expectation is 32.

Read more about the Riva 76 Bahamas

Sanlorenzo SP110

Moored stern to the quay at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new Sanlorenzo SP110 is going to be the talk of the show.

The lower saloon, leading down from the cockpit, was clearly inspired by Sanlorenzo’s sub-brand Bluegame . But this takes that concept to the next level, literally, opening up the after end of the main deck to create an eye-catching two-storey atrium that shows anyone who might be looking in – i.e. everyone – that your boat is cooler than theirs.

It’s also faster, probably: the Sanlorenzo SP110 is a 40-knot boat, thanks to triple MAN V12s, jet drives, and a lightweight structure that features a lot of carbon fibre.

Read more about the Sanlorenzo SP110

The open sportscruiser design fits neatly into the slot between Sealine’s existing S335 and S430

Sealine S390

Bill Dixon’s latest design for Sealine is all about making the most of the summer. To that end, the new Sealine S390 features a huge shaded cockpit with two big wetbars, plus nearly 50ft² of foredeck lounging space, with flip-up backrests and a small bow bench, and an oversized swim platform with an optional waterfront barbecue.

A convertible dining table turns the aft cockpit into a neatly integrated sunpad. And the Sealine S390 also provides a pair of sunroofs built into the full-length hardtop as standard, as well as the option of manual or electric opening both fore and aft.

As part of Sealine’s ‘Sport’ line, it is of course designed to look and feel like a convertible on the water – and with its swept back windows and the ‘skeletal’ curve of its roofline, it certainly has the profile to carry that off.

Read more about the Sealine S390

The successful Sessa F47 flybridge cruiser wasn’t broke, so they haven’t tried to fix it. But its restyle does include the obligatory jagged slash of hull windows and a remarkable swoop of flybridge moulding that makes it unmistakably the latest model.

Design has been sharpened up throughout, with a few more right angles where there used to be curves, and the internal colour scheme is new, but the essentials of this accomplished and capable family boat remain unchanged.

So on the main deck we find a neat cockpit with a folding table, and a busy saloon area lit up by huge windows. This has stowage space and the galley along the port side, a sofa to starboard behind a helm station with a double bench seat.

Read more about the Sessa F47

The Silent 60 is available with an auxiliary kitesail system to boost efficiency

If you’re interested in electric boating then a catamaran might be the way to go, with slim, relatively-low drag hulls and expansive deck and roof areas for solar panels.

Headquartered in Austria with manufacturing plants in the Far East and Italy, Silent Yachts’ new Silent 60 comes with a pair of electric motors of 170kW each, battery capacity of up to 286kWh, and solar panels capable of generating 17kWp (the ‘p’ stands for peak, or optimum sunny conditions), for a claimed cruising range at six to eight knots of around 100 nautical miles.

Naturally there are diesel generators too, both for battery charging and for powering the electric motors, in which case the 60’s maximum speed is 20 knots, with a cruising range defined by the size of the fuel tanks.

Read more about the Silent 60

According to Turkish builder, Sirena, its extraordinary new Sirena 78 is designed to be “the yacht that can do it all”.

Class-leading volume for flexible guest entertainment? Check. Long-range capabilities for adventurous voyages? No problem. A customisable interior for an easy ownership experience? All part of the Sirena 78 package.

But one of the keenest examples of that do-it-all ethos has to be the flybridge . To help cater for a variety of customers and cruising destinations, the Sirena 78’s upper deck is available in open, semi-enclosed and fully enclosed formats.

Read more about the Sirena 78

Sunreef 70 Power

Based in Gdansk and soon to be setting up a facility in the UAE, Sunreef Yachts is a low-volume producer of innovative sail and power catamarans that celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

The Sunreef 70 Power joins a successful range that stretches from 60 to 100 feet, but the company also has ambitions to move into the superyacht realm, with a variety of powercat designs touted up to 50 metres.

As a catamaran, of course, and a beamy one at that, the new Sunroof 70 Power boasts a huge square flybridge shaded by a huge square hard top with sunroof, and a huge square saloon with a lower-deck companionway in each corner – plus, if you wish, a huge open-plan galley.

Read more about the Sunreef 70 Power

The integration of fly deck and bow lounge is deeply impressive

Sunseeker 100 Yacht

The Sunseeker 100 Yacht is set to usher in what the British yard calls a “new era” in flybridge design. Aggressively styled, with an unbroken window line that seems to separate the superstructure from the hull, the new 100 Yacht’s potent three-dimensional aesthetic generates huge visual impact.

But what really sets the new Sunseeker 100 Yacht apart is not so much its style as its thought-provoking reinterpretation of the tri-deck layout.

By creating a full-beam walkaround upper level with easy fore-and-aft access to the foredeck lounge, the new Sunseeker’s flybridge is able to encompass almost the entire boat’s length.

Vertical bow, forward raked windscreen and an enclosed pilothouse mark a major change of direction for Wellcraft

Wellcraft 355

Wellcraft is looking to steal a slice of the lucrative European adventure boat market with its striking new Wellcraft 355.

Unlike the US brand’s previous range of centre console craft, the Wellcraft 355 features a plumb bow, a fully enclosed wheelhouse with a forward-raked windscreen and modern Scandinavian styling.

The sudden change of direction looks like a deliberate attempt to muscle in on the success of brands like Axopar , Saxdor and Nimbus under the auspices of Wellcraft’s French parent company, the Beneteau Group .

Read more about the Wellcraft 355

Windy 34 Alizé

Norwegian superyacht designer Espen Øino is a man with a stellar CV and an even more stellar reputation. Who better then to take the lead on the all-new Windy 34 Alizé – a boat designed to evoke (and improve upon) the style and performance of the much-loved 34 Khamsin?

Slotting neatly in the Windy range between the 32 Grand Zonda and the Windy 37 Shamal , the Windy 34 Alizé is every bit the performance boat you would expect.

Built with a distinctly aggressive resin-infused non-stepped deep-V hull, even the entry-level single D6-440 is expected to achieve speeds in the region of 40 knots.

By Editorial Team   20 September 2022

From all the must-see superyachts to the best places to party after the show, get the complete insider’s guide to the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 .

Running from 28 September to 1 October, the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 will be attracting a fleet of superyachts and thousands of attendees to the Côte d'Azur for the 31st edition of the prestigious boat show.

For four days, Port Hercules will be a hive of activity as thousands of prospective clients and industry players descend on the French Riviera to explore what’s on display on the water and along the stands. Hundreds of exhibitors will be showing off their products and services, with top shipyards , brokerage houses and marine and luxury lifestyle stalls in attendance, along with brand-new areas being unveiled at this year's show.

What’s in store at this year’s show?

This year the show will unveil its brand-new Adventure Area and Sustainability Hub, alongside its popular Design & Innovation Hub and dockside areas committed to the exhibition of superyachts and tenders.

Sustainability Hub

With a renewed focus on sustainability and environmental protection initiatives, the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 will be unveiling its brand new exhibition space dedicated to the research and development of sustainable solutions in yachting.

The Sustainability Hub will also host a variety of exhibitions relating to green renewable solutions and pro-environmental projects in yachting.

Yacht Design and Innovation Hub

Complementing the Sustainability Area will be the popular Yacht Design and Innovation Hub, where the world’s most renowned yacht designers convene to showcase their latest projects, with various presentations on design and eco-responsible projects in yachting taking place in a conference room upstairs (free access). This year, the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub also welcomes the historic exhibitors of the Designer Gallery along the Louis Chiron bend of Port Hercules.

Adventure Area

Another new zone for 2022, visitors to the Adventure Area will find a huge array of tenders, all-terrain vehicles, nautical gadgets and equipment. These will be showcased in conjunction with a wide range of activities and services targeting the up-coming generation of superyacht clientele in response to the increase in demand by discerning yacht travellers seeking ever-more thrilling adventures and unique yachting experiences.

Dockside Area

The new Adventure Area will be located within the Dockside Area, home to the afloat exhibition of motor yachts and tenders on the Quai Antoine 1er, Port Hercule.

Please note that the Dockside area is only accessible to Discover, Sapphire and press passes on Wednesday September 28, with access to the general public from Thursday onwards.

Sailing Yacht Area

As in previous years, this area will be situated along the Quai l’Hirondelle, where visitors will be able to step aboard some of the most innovative and technologically advanced sailing yachts in the world, as well as meeting some of the esteemed builders and designers who help to create the magic.

Sapphire Experience

Introduced for the first time last year, the Sapphire Experience is a bespoke tour program for visitors interested in renting or buying a yacht, with a concierge team dedicated to creating a bespoke program of events tailored to take advantage of all there is to experience at the show in true VIP fashion; including scheduled visits on board yachts, attendance at gala evenings or private cocktails on board various luxury vessels. There is also an official Sapphire tender and courtesy car service. 

In addition, there are dedicated VIP entrances and lounges for convenience and relaxation throughout the show.

How to get around the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

The show takes place entirely in Port Hercules, but there will also be a number of yachts available for viewing at anchor outside the port. A water taxi is available throughout the show, with seven pick-up and drop-off points conveniently located across the marina.

The official opening times for the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show are: 10.30am-6.30pm every day, except on Saturday when the doors open at 10am and close at 6pm.

What is the official MYS 2022 superyacht lineup?

Currently, with over 130 yachts set to attend this year’s show, including 74 yachts making their debuts in Monaco, the show promises plenty of standout vessels available to view.

One of the most exciting new yachts will be Lurssen’s 115m/378ft motor yacht AHPO . A recent addition to the charter fleet, she will be drawing in plenty of attention with her Nuvolari Lenard exterior styling and palatial interiors.

On the same dock, Golden Yacht’s latest offering in the shape of 88m (289ft) superyacht Project X will also be causing a buzz. Freshly delivered, show-goers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to step on board to admire her beautiful Massari-designed interiors, as well as her 7.5-meter by 3-meter glass-enclosed swimming pool on her aft main deck and vast beach club featuring comfortable lounging area and bar, alongside a wellness suite with Hammam and Finnish Sauna. 

Another star of the show will be the 85m (279ft) luxury explorer yacht VICTORIOUS , who wowed visitors last year with her distinctive sleek lines culminating in a 2-meter bowsprit and impressive array of charter-rich features and family-friendly amenities, not to mention the luxury Rolls Royce perched on her helideck bow!

The 75m (247ft) superyacht KENSHÕ will also be making waves for those keen to experience her zen-calm interiors up-close. Launched earlier this year, the innovative vessel redefines the concept of space and layout, providing guests with the ultimate luxurious platform to relax, entertain and socialize onboard. 

Read our event guide for a list of all the yachts attending the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 .

Where to eat at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

In Port Hercules, there are a variety of options available for snacks and refreshments, including the Upper Deck Lounge bar & restaurant run by the renowned Fairmont Monte-Carlo, as well as the Sapphire Lounge – a VIP bar and dining experience open exclusively to Sapphire badge holders – both located near the Parvis Piscine entrance.

Monaco itself has no shortage of restaurants to suit every occasion and palate during the show. For something more casual, Rue Princesse Caroline is lined with different restaurants that are well-suited to a light bite.

In the evenings, COYA Monte Carlo is where the in-crowd head for Latin-American fusion and a warm reception. The cocktail menu is expansive, so be sure to try one of their specialties and soak up the buzzy vibes as the evening wears on.

If it’s a sophisticated meal you’re after, Nobu is the ultimate choice. Expect a luxurious backdrop, a refined Japanese menu and a sensational taste experience among fellow show-goers.

Where to party after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

As ever, Buddha-Bar will be one of the most popular venues for post-show partying in Monaco. The restaurant-bar crossover is a regular stop-off for those looking to dine and dance to the soundtrack of live DJ sets.

Twiga has a similar vibe, with a stellar menu coupled with an unrivalled club scene later in the evenings. Expect Methusalems of champagne topped with sparklers, dazzling entertainment and a no-holds-barred party vibe.

Twiga will be hosting plenty of Monaco Yacht Show-themed parties over the course of the show, so you’d be remiss not to pay the venue a visit, even if it’s just for a cocktail on the terrace.

For a true taste of French Riviera party life, look no further than Jimmy’z. This iconic club will be in full swing over the course of the Monaco Yacht Show, and will be amping up the entertainment with live performances from dance troupes and deck-spinning DJs.

Where to relax after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

After the show, take the time to unwind and soak up the last of the Mediterranean sun.

Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is still going strong on the roof of the Fairmont Hotel, and offers poolside lounging and a summery soundtrack throughout the day, offset by spectacular views over Port Hercules and the yachts at anchor opposite the marina.

A little outside Monaco in the small town of Eze lies one of the best-kept secrets in the South of France. Anjuna Plage occupies a thin sliver of beach, and boasts a premier restaurant, boutique shop and a laid-back vibe that makes it a fan favourite. Best accessed by yacht, it also has a roster of A-list clientele.

Where to visit after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

The French Riviera is one of the most beautiful regions in the Mediterranean and has no end of things to see and do. In Monaco, visitors can explore the decadent Monte Carlo casino, browse the Private Collection of Antique Cars of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III or admire the incredible selection of marine life at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco.

Afterwards, stop by neighbouring Menton to visit Mirazur, a restaurant that was named the Best in the World for 2019.  Then, pay a visit to the Val Rahmen Exotic Gardens for an afternoon of botanical bliss.

Head over to Nice for a day of sightseeing and walking the cobbled streets of the city, taking the time to explore the famous Matisse Museum and the pink palace of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. 

Those looking to travel even further afield can stop by the spa at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes or take a boat ride out to the Lérins Islands  outside the bay of Cannes , where you will find the famous Abbey and the superyacht hotspot of La Guerite, a beach club and restaurant on the island.
