From September 9 to 14, the French Riviera once again played host to one of the world’s biggest nautical events. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 brought together more than 700 boats, including 119 superyachts, transforming the marina into a veritable showcase of innovation, sophistication and design.
With each edition, Cannes has established itself as the privileged space where the nautical industry presents its big bets. This year’s novelties did not disappoint and reinforced the idea that the future will be increasingly versatile and aligned with the demands of modern sailors.
TREND-SETTING PREMIERES
The launches by the major brands spared no effort and surprised with models that are already redefining trends in the sector:
–
Beneteau
has surprised us with the new Oceanis 47 and Oceanis 52, two sailing yachts that inaugurate the 8th generation of the Oceanis line. These models introduce a new sailing concept, prioritizing the on-board experience through comfort and performance. The design was conceived for long crossings, with every space optimized to guarantee practicality and accessibility.

Cranchi
has presented the A32 Luxury Tender, a 10-meter boat with premium finishes and great versatility. Inspired by the design of the A46 and the iconic E30 Endurance, this new model is ideal for day cruises or as an auxiliary vessel for larger yachts.

Dufour Yachts
has brought out two new features: the Dufour 48 and the Dufour 54, both designed to provide maximum comfort without losing the authenticity of sailing. The Dufour 48 is distinguished by a second cockpit at the bow, perfect for unforgettable get-togethers.

Jeanneau
shone with the eagerly awaited Sun Odyssey 350, already considered a benchmark in the sailing segment due to its easy maneuverability. In the motor segment, it stood out with the Cap Camarat 9.0 CC and the Merry Fisher 1095, two proposals that respond to the growing demand for family boats that are functional and prepared for any coastal adventure.
These premieres were not just launches, but a clear demonstration of the direction in which the industry is heading: more space on board, more features and a design that combines modernity with nautical tradition.
