Cannes Yachting Festival 2025: New Yacht Launches

Cannes Yachting Festival 2025: Spectacular Yacht Premieres Amid Coastal Glamour

Every September, Cannes transforms from red carpets to teak decks as it hosts one of the most important events on the global yachting calendar. From 9–14 September 2025, the Cannes Yachting Festival returns in full force, bringing together cutting-edge design, elegant craftsmanship, and serious maritime innovation.

Spanning both the iconic Vieux-Port and Port Canto, this in-water show is the largest of its kind in Europe, welcoming nearly 700 yachts and over 600 exhibitors. Whether you're in the market for a sleek open sportsboat, a luxurious sailing catamaran, or a fully custom 40-metre superyacht, Cannes is where the Med season ends and everyone starts planning for the next with world premieres, sea trials, and a Riviera backdrop that makes the entire experience unforgettable.

2025 World premiers, yacht launches and show debuts not to miss include:

but are not limited to!

RJ, Cantiere delle Marche, The Largest Debut at Cannes 2025

At 46.9 metres, RJ is not only the largest yacht launched by her Italian builder to date, but also the biggest world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival so far. Built with explorer credentials in mind, she offers a transoceanic range of over 5,000 nautical miles, supported by a steel hull and premium-grade equipment.

Her bold exterior lines come from Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski, with elongated overhangs and expansive stern verandas giving her a distinctive profile. Pierluigi Ausonio handled naval architecture, while Achille Salvagni crafted a luxurious interior tailored for up to 12 guests across five cabins.

An evolution of the owner's previous RJ 130 (now Nuri), this new RJ sets a new benchmark in modern explorer yacht design

Andiamo, Sanlorenzo SD132

At 40.7 metres, Andiamo is the first hull in Sanlorenzo’s new SD132 series and the largest semi-displacement composite yacht ever built by the yard. With a volume of 420GT, she continues the legacy of her SD siblings, now reimagined with even more onboard space and fluid design.

A standout feature is the seamless beach club, which flows directly into the aft cockpit and includes a TV-equipped bar and relaxed lounge area. On either side, fold-down terraces open to create a vast 70m² outdoor space, offering uninterrupted sea views and an impressive sense of openness on board.

‍

SX120 Sanlorenzo

Sanlorenzo’s new SX120 is the largest model in its crossover series and brings a fresh take on space and performance. Designed by Zuccon International Project with interiors by Piero Lissoni, the four-deck yacht reimagines onboard living with smart, flexible layouts.

‍

It’s also the first Sanlorenzo fitted with Volvo Penta’s new IPS system, offering big-engine performance with a reduced footprint. But the real showstopper? A beach club with pop-up pool and folding terraces, sure to be a crowd-puller at Cannes.

Lalabe, Van der Valk

At 35.3 metres, Lalabe is a fully custom build from Van der Valk, based on the same hull as the award-winning Lady Lene. Designed by Guido de Groot, she was commissioned by seasoned owners seeking a yacht to suit three generations of family living at sea.

Delivered in July 2025, Lalabe features a five-cabin layout and generous outdoor areas, including integrated balconies, a large custom swim platform, and an aft relaxation lounge with a beach club and sauna below—blending thoughtful design with comfort across every deck.

‍

Riva 112 Dolcevita Super

Launched in July 2025, the 34.4-metre Riva 112 Dolcevita Super marks a striking evolution for the iconic Italian brand. Designed by Officina Italiana Design, the model introduces a radical restyling, blending sleek lines with bold, sporty character.

Key features include a spacious 35m² beach club with an ultra-low swim platform, and a choice of two main saloon layouts, offering owners greater flexibility in how they live and entertain on board.

‍

AB95, AB Yachts

The 28.9-metre AB95 from AB Yachts brings the brand’s signature performance styling into a more liveable, family-friendly format. Inspired by the larger AB110, this new model blends sleek lines with increased interior volume and comfort.

Standout features include a flybridge with reverse glazing, creating light-filled spaces and sweeping sea views, accessible via dual staircases from the aft deck. With a loft-like interior, shallow four-metre draft, and vibration-free cruising, the AB95 is designed for relaxed, stylish journeys without sacrificing speed.

‍

Ferretti 940

Launched in January 2025, the 28.97-metre Ferretti 940 is the latest evolution from Ferretti Yachts, combining exterior styling by Filippo Salvetti with interiors by ideaeITALIA and in-house naval architecture.

Designed for generous living, she features expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, promising plenty of wow-factor for Cannes visitors seeing her for the first time.

‍

Pershing GTX70

The Pershing GTX70 brings superyacht DNA into a compact, agile form, redefining what’s possible in the sport utility yacht (SUY) segment. With bold styling and smart use of space, she blends performance with luxury in true GTX Series fashion.

A standout feature is the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with a cleverly engineered recessed window and sliding door system connecting the cockpit and saloon. Her fold-out wings create one of the largest beach clubs in her class, offering an expansive platform to enjoy life at sea, comfortably, efficiently, and in style.

Bellini Astor 58

One of our new favourites! 

On display at Quai Max Laubeuf (stand QML 042), the Bellini Astor 58 is a striking 18.2-metre walkaround open yacht that fuses sporty performance with refined design and engineering pedigree.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 engines (725 HP each), the Astor 58 delivers both speed and efficiency. It’s the product of a powerhouse collaboration: Norberto Ferretti, founder of the Ferretti Group, shaped the concept and development, while Brunello Acampora of Victory Design crafted the high-performance hull.

The result is a yacht with clean, bold lines and a distinctive, instantly recognisable silhouette—a perfect expression of Italian design and open-air cruising luxury.
