A major showcase for the latest generation of yachts
Beyond sheer size, the Cannes Yachting Festival remains an important platform for manufacturers to present new models, innovative technologies and new approaches to yacht design.
With world premieres spread across Vieux Port and Port Canto, the 2026 edition is expected to attract yacht owners, buyers, brokers, designers and industry professionals from around the world.
From large-volume yachts to new-generation models designed for longer cruising and enhanced onboard experiences, Cannes will once again provide a first look at where the yacht market is heading.
For anyone planning to attend the festival, these ten yachts should be among the largest and most notable vessels to look out for in Cannes this September.
