- ~700 boats across two ports
- World & European premieres
- Sailing yachts at Port Canto
By GetBoat.com · Updated · Methodology and limitations
Ahead of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 (8–13 September, Vieux Port and Port Canto), seven models are premieres or debuts in the builders’ own words: the Pearl 73, Fountaine Pajot’s FP48, FP55 and FPY70S, the Sirena 118, Azimut’s Grande 44M, and Riva’s 96′ Argo Super. Below we separate those builder-stated debuts from models merely marked “new”, from boats presented at Cannes after debuting elsewhere, and from names that appear only in trade coverage — then add GetBoat’s 10 August snapshot: how often each of the nine brands with a builder-confirmed model at the show is listed for charter, at what day rate, and how asking prices differ by yacht age.
The show runs 8–13 September 2026 across the Vieux Port and Port Canto. Nine of the ten builders we track name at least one model for this edition; the tenth, Pershing, confirms it is exhibiting at the Ferretti Group stand but names no model. Every entry below was checked against the builder’s own site — event page and press room both — on 11–12 August 2026 and re-checked on 25 and 30 August 2026. A model is called a premiere or debut only where the yard itself uses that word.
Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: confirmed premieres and official line-ups
| Builder | Model | Status | Stated by the builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pearl | Pearl 73 | World premiere | “The highly anticipated world premiere of the new Pearl 73” — Pearl Yachts’ own news page, which shows it alongside the Pearl 63 and Pearl 82. |
| Fountaine Pajot | FP48, FP55 | World premieres | The yard published its line-up after our first pass: “world premieres of the all-new FP48 and FP55”, shown at Port Canto alongside the FP41, FP44 and FP51. |
| Fountaine Pajot | FPY70S | World premiere | Stated on the same page as “brand-new FPY70S, making its world premiere in Cannes”; the Thíra 80 and the Power 80 are also listed, the latter at the Vieux Port. |
| Sirena | Sirena 118 | World debut | The launch release is headed “ahead of world debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026” and says the 36 m flagship is “preparing for her highly anticipated world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026”. |
| Azimut | Grande 44M (43.6 m) | World debut | “The Grande 44M will make its world debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival.” The launch release adds that seven hulls are already sold. |
| Riva (Ferretti Group) | 96′ Argo Super | Official debut | “The first Riva 96′ Argo Super will make her official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026” (release of 20 July 2026). The yard says official debut, not world premiere, and we keep its wording. |
| Lagoon | Lagoon 47 | Official presentation | The brand’s own news page places the debut elsewhere: the 47 “is making its world debut at the La Grande Motte Boat Show — an exclusive first look before its official presentation at the Cannes Yachting Festival, 8–13 September 2026”. |
| Azimut | Fly 82 | On official 2026 line-up | On the 2026 stand list, but its world premiere was held at Cannes 2025 — Azimut’s own announcement of it is dated 5 September 2025. The 2026 list carries 13 entries for 12 unique models: the Grande 26M appears twice. |
| Jeanneau | Sea Loft 480, TH33, TH38, Merry Fisher 1095 Fly, Sun Odyssey 415, Sun Odyssey 455 | New on official line-up | Jeanneau published a 17-model line-up for Port Canto after our first pass; six carry a NOUVEAU badge. The page uses no “première mondiale” wording, so we do not call these world debuts. |
| Beneteau | Oceanis 47, Oceanis 52, First 36 SE, First 60, Gran Turismo 50, Swift Trawler 43 Fly | New on official line-up | Six models carry a “new” badge on Beneteau’s official event page (25 August). The Swift Trawler 43 Fly was added after our first pass — note the “Fly” in the name. |
| Dufour | Dufour 37, 41, 44, 48, 54 | On official line-up | Dufour’s own event page lists exactly these five boats for Port Canto and marks none of them a premiere; its 8 July autumn round-up gives the same five. |
Lagoon 47: where the debut actually happens
Two Lagoon-run sites disagree, and the difference matters for anyone travelling to see a first. The brand’s main site puts the world debut at the La Grande Motte Boat Show and calls Cannes an official presentation; Lagoon’s German site still says the 47 “will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival”. We follow the main brand site, which is the more specific of the two and describes the order of the two shows.
Confirmed either way: 14.95 m LOA, 13.96 m hull length and 7.96 m beam, VPLP Design with Nauta Design. A launch base price of €680,000 net has been widely reported, but Lagoon does not publish a price on its official pages — the site offers a price list on request. Treat the figure as trade-press reporting, not a builder statement.
Sirena 118: the yard’s own numbers do not agree with each other
Sirena calls the 118 “our new flagship”; at 36 m LOA she is not the largest boat in the range, which also lists a Superyachts 42M. Hull 34 m, 265 GT, GRP fast displacement, naval architecture by Germán Frers. Engine outputs are consistent across Sirena’s pages — twin MAN V12s of 1,550 hp, or 1,900 hp optional.
Speed is not. Sirena’s model page gives 15 knots cruising and 18 knots maximum; its launch release of 14 July 2026 gives a 16-knot top speed on the standard engines and 21 knots with the optional pair. We report the discrepancy rather than pick a number, because both figures are the builder’s own.
Reported for Cannes 2026, but not confirmed by the builder
Two models are absent from the line-up table above for one reason: on 30 August 2026 the yard’s own pages — event page and press room both — did not place the model at this show. Both boats are real and builder-documented; what is missing is the link between the boat and this edition.
- Dufour 39 — trade coverage calls it a Cannes world premiere. Dufour’s own event page and its 8 July autumn round-up both list five boats for Cannes — the 37, 41, 44, 48 and 54 — and not the 39, while naming the 39 for Genoa (1–6 October) and Barcelona (14–18 October). No “world premiere” or “première mondiale” wording appears on Dufour’s site.
- Pershing GTX90 — a genuine new model (first hull launched 1 July, 28 m). Pershing’s own Cannes page welcomes visitors to the Ferretti Group stand at the Vieux Port but names no model at all, and the GTX90 release ties the boat to no show. The page search engines surface under “Ferretti Group at the Cannes Yachting Festival” dates from 2017, so it says nothing about this edition.
What GetBoat listings show about these brands
All marketplace figures below are brand-wide; the Cannes models named above are not the unit of analysis.
The show presents new models; GetBoat’s 10 August snapshot provides separate, brand-level context on charter-rate coverage and asking prices. It does not track these models or individual hulls over time. These are listing figures, not bookings, revenue or valuations.
How often are these brands listed for charter?
Fountaine Pajot listings carry a charter rate in 92.9% of cases, Dufour in 88.9%, Beneteau in 88.7%, Jeanneau in 87.7% and Lagoon in 87.2%. The share falls to 77.5% for Azimut, 59.3% for Riva, 54.8% for Pearl and 45.8% for Sirena. These are brand-wide shares, not vessel-type cohorts or figures for the Cannes models.
Among these rows, the four motor-brand medians range from EUR 2,186 to EUR 6,262 per listed day, versus EUR 248 to EUR 605 for the five other brand samples. What this does not tell us is occupancy, revenue or why an owner bought the boat — a listing records availability, not use.
| Brand | Listings in sample | Share listed for charter | Median listed day rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lagoon | 5,345 | 87.2% | €543 |
| Beneteau | 5,161 | 88.7% | €276 |
| Jeanneau | 5,143 | 87.7% | €279 |
| Dufour | 2,957 | 88.9% | €248 |
| Fountaine Pajot | 1,764 | 92.9% | €605 |
| Azimut | 1,705 | 77.5% | €2,713 |
| Riva | 437 | 59.3% | €2,186 |
| Sirena | 48 | 45.8% | €5,115 |
| Pearl | 31 | 54.8% | €6,262 (fewer than 10 priced) |
GetBoat listings, snapshot 10 August 2026. Euro-priced listings only; day rates are medians of listed, not booked, prices. Shown are the nine brands with at least one builder-confirmed model at this edition. Pershing is absent not because it is missing from the show — it confirms it is exhibiting — but because it names no model.
How asking prices differ by yacht age
Grouping listed sale prices by year of build gives a cross-section of what is on the market today, not the history of any one hull. Different models sit in different bands, so read the shape, not the step.
For Azimut, the only motor-yacht brand in this age-band table, the bands step down steadily: boats built 8–12 years ago are listed at roughly half the median of the newest band, and 13–20 year-old boats at about a fifth. In the volume-sail samples the older bands hold closer together at first and separate sharply beyond thirteen years — a Beneteau in the 13–20 band is listed near a quarter of the newest band, and past twenty-one near a tenth. One cell runs against the trend: Beneteau’s 8–12 band sits above its 4–7 band on only 19 priced boats, which is a mix of models, not a market signal.
A less model-mix-sensitive cross-sectional check is within a single model, where the boats are comparable. Among Azimut Atlantis 45 listings (n = 9), a log-price regression on build year gives about 10% more asked per model year (r = +0.76); for the Grande 27M (n = 7) the figure is about 5% (r = +0.68). Both samples fall under ten priced boats and are order-of-magnitude only. These are cross-sectional asking-price associations, not annual depreciation rates or valuations.
| Brand | 0–3 yrs | 4–7 yrs | 8–12 yrs | 13–20 yrs | 21+ yrs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Azimut | €3.12M (n=55) | €2.41M (41) | €1.58M (46) | €0.68M (51) | €0.56M (21) |
| Beneteau | €334k (37) | €233k (31) | €268k (19) | €86k (50) | €31k (60) |
| Dufour | — | €224k (14) | €209k (17) | €107k (15) | €56k (33) |
| Jeanneau | €370k (30) | €274k (34) | €176k (39) | €118k (58) | €36k (89) |
Median asking price of euro-priced listings by year of build; n = priced boats in each band. Shown are the brands with priced listings in at least four of the five bands, none of those bands holding fewer than ten priced boats; the other Cannes-linked brands fall below that and are omitted rather than shown thin.
Methodology and limitations
Premieres. Verified against builder websites on 11–12 August 2026 and re-checked on 25 and 30 August 2026, on two surfaces each: the official event page and the yard’s own news or press room. Checking only the event page understates the count — several yards state a Cannes debut in a launch release and not on the stand page. A model is called a world premiere or debut only where the yard itself uses that word; where a builder marks a model “new” or presents it after debuting elsewhere, we use the builder’s word; where only trade press ties a model to this edition, it is listed as reported, not confirmed. Where two of a yard’s own surfaces disagree, we say so and follow the main brand site.
Marketplace figures. Medians across GetBoat’s live listings, snapshot 10 August 2026, most recent price per boat, our own listings only. We analysed only listings originally priced in euros — no exchange rates were applied, so nothing here mixes currencies. “Share listed for charter” is the proportion of a brand’s listings carrying a charter rate; day rates are medians of listed, not booked, prices. “Listings in sample” counts every spelling of a brand in our data (our brand records are fragmented — “Lagoon”, “Lagoon Catamarans” and “Lagoon-Bénéteau” exist separately), so it is deliberately broader than a catalogue filter on one spelling and will not match a brand page’s counter.
We do not report average length or price per foot (our length field mixes feet and metres and cannot be cleanly split), discount depth (not populated), or price movement over time (six weeks of history including a one-off catalogue reprice). Age bands mix models within a brand; samples under ten priced boats are marked and are order-of-magnitude only.
