Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 Revealed

Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 has announced details of this year’s show. As has been the case every year for over 45 years, Europe’s largest in-water show will be the first major international event of the yachting season.

Over 6 days, from 12 to 17 September, under the sunshine of the French Riviera, more than 650 boats of all sizes (from five to fifty metres) as well as the latest nautical equipment, numerous innovations and world previews will be unveiled for nearly 55,000 expected visitors: professionals, curious on-lookers, keen boaters or experienced enthusiasts.

A major new feature of the 2023 event is the creation of an area afloat in the Vieux Port, which will accommodate smaller boats, from 8 meters upwards, in response to demand from numerous exhibitors.

‘discovering some real gems in-water and on land’.

“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” explains Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Yachting Festival.

Ernoult also added:

“This new edition will highlight the small units with the creation of a brand new area, a marina in the heart of the Vieux Port, which will accommodate more than fifty small motor boats from 8 to 12 metres. As the show’s DNA is to offer the most eclectic offer possible, it seemed natural to us to host in the best way its small units, traditionally displayed ashore on the Quai Max Laubeuf, i.e. in a dedicated floating area.” “Once again this year, our visitors will enjoy discovering some real gems in-water and on land, boats of all sizes and types, equipped with ‘traditional’ or carbon-free engines with the first onboard electric, hybrid or hydrogen power systems”

To conclude, Ernoult adds: “As is the case every year, all our teams are mobilised on a daily basis to offer a memorable experience to our exhibitors and visitors.”

A Spectacular Start to Show Season: Cannes Yachting Festival 2023

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

Cannes Yachting Festival 2023: The Ultimate Boating Experience

The Cannes Yachting Festival is the world’s largest in-water boat show, and it’s coming back to the French Riviera bigger and better than ever before in 2023. Initially founded in 1977, it is a major event for the yachting industry and attracts visitors from all over the world.

The festival will be held from September 12 th -17 th and will feature almost 600 boats, including a range of top-class motor yachts, superyachts, catamarans, tenders and sailing yachts. These massive vessels are the epitome of luxury and style and will leave you in awe.

For 2023, the organisers have planned a new area for small boats measuring between 8m and 11m long to exhibit, making it easier for the boat show visitors to get up close to the latest in high-tech design and thoughtful, intricate detail without the smaller craft being overshadowed by larger superyachts. 

The festival will, of course, feature many stunning superyachts, including some of the latest and most luxurious models. However, many marine and boat manufacturers will use the festival to launch their latest products. This is an excellent opportunity to see the latest in cutting-edge boating technology. 

Plenty to see and do in 2023

The Cannes Yachting Festival is also a great place to learn from industry professionals. There will be a variety of seminars, workshops and presentations on topics such as yacht design, maintenance, and financing to keep you busy, as well as a chance to meet with the manufacturers of the boats you are most interested in.

There will also be a variety of networking events, such as cocktail parties and dinners. These are a great way to meet other people interested in yachting. The event has planned several contests and prizes for guests to participate in. This is a great way to win amazing prizes, such as a free yacht charter or a luxury brand watch. 

In addition to these events and attractions, there will also be several other things for visitors to see and do at the Cannes Yachting Festival. You can take a boat tour, visit the exhibition halls, or enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of the festival.

Getting to the Festival

There are several ways to get to the show from Nice airport, including a dedicated shuttle bus service taking you to the festival, local taxi hire and even by helicopter if you have the budget. A variety of local accommodations are available in Cannes within easy reach of the festival, from luxurious hotels to more affordable apartments. 

However, we recommend booking your tickets and accommodation early if you want to attend the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023. The festival is extremely popular with visitors, and show tickets and local accommodations sell out quickly!

Which superyachts will be appearing in 2023?

While the official line-up of boats for the 2023 show is still taking shape at the time of writing, some of the expected attendees may include:

What To Expect At The 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival

Each year, the Cannes Yachting Festival marks the end of summer or the beginning of the fall boat show season, depending on how you want to look at it. This year's event begins on September 12th and is the 46th edition of the show which attracts nearly 700 boats. Divided among two marinas this year - Vieux Port and Port Canto - there will be a new segment for smaller yachts this year ranging from 26 to 50-feet.

Several of the new boat brands represented by SI Yachts will have strong participation in this Cannes Yachting Festival highlighting the innovative and trend-setting progressions of each shipyard. While not all of these models will make it to the U.S. for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in October, it will be a window into the future offerings from some of the most iconic builders in the world.

While we cannot cover every single boat in the show, we are experts on the below models that will be on display. If you are interested in receiving more information, pricing, and availability of any of the below boats, please send us an email at [email protected] or fill out the form on the page.

ABSOLUTE YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

The luxury flybridge yachts coming out of Italy in the last few years have created fierce competition between the shipyards there, and across the pond in the U.K. Companies like Sunseeker , Azimut , Ferretti , and others continue to invest millions in their equipment, facilities, and designs. Absolute Yachts doesn't produce the sheer volume that say an Azimut-Benetti shipyard does, but their model ranges offer fresh and innovative solutions that subtly enhance your comfort on board. The result has been a strong book of orders, along with the awards to back them up. At this year's Cannes Yachting Festival, you can see:

• 52 FLY (Featured above)

PARDO YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

SI Yachts has quickly become one of the largest dealers for Pardo Yachts in the country and it's easy to see why. Similar to Van Dutch in style (they're also a sister company at the same shipyard) this is a boat where you can make a statement. Sexy, remarkable lines make Pardo models impossible to miss on the water. The hallmarks of each boat, regardless of which model lines, include elegance, spaciousness, high performance, and the finest interiors. If you haven't set foot on a Pardo, find one at your next boat show.

• Endurance 60
• GT52 (Featured above)
• 50 Walk-Around
• 43 Walk-Around
• 38 Walk-Around

PRESTIGE YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

The Prestige Yachts brand has always been about creating a 'luxury home on the water' that gives you the same sense of comfort and relaxation as your own. Models like the 590 FLY were a game changer for the French builder, allowing them to create a great value in an exceptional layout that owners could enjoy with multiple guests for weekend trips or longer. Can you imagine if Prestige built a power catamaran and how they would utilize that space? Now you don't have to with the Prestige M-line which will be on display at Cannes with their newest model.

• M8 Power Cat
• M48 Power Cat

PRINCESS YACHTS ON DISPLAY AT CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL

One of the most dominant and exciting displays at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival has to be that of Princess Yachts . Aside from displaying world-class models like the flagship Y95 and the S72 (above), this will also be the world premiere of the new Y80. The Princess display will be located at Vieux Port right in the heart of Cannes. See these Princess models at the Cannes Yachting Festival:

• Y95 (Boat Show Debut)
• Y80 (World Premiere)
• S72 (Boat Show Debut)

For yacht shoppers, the Cannes Yachting Festival, which runs from September 10 to 15, is the place to see a raft of world debuts. The show in the tony French Riviera city marks the start of the international boat show season. Its offerings of 700 vessels from 16 to 165 feet includes many global debuts, from sailing vessels to motoryachts, to multihulls and a dozen other boat types. The show has about 4 miles of dock space.

While Cannes doesn’t have the superyacht glitz of the Monaco Yacht Show, its fleet continues to grow each year, both by units and hull lengths. Its two locations, Vieux Port and Port Canto, have very different fleets. Located in the heart of the city along the famed Croisette, Vieux Port is one of the oldest ports on the Côte d’Azur and home to the largest motoryachts and superyachts at the show. This year will also see Port Canto, the smaller exhibition area usually reserved for sailing yachts, dedicate space to motorboats with lengths of 43 feet and under.

Headliners this year will include the 148-foot Tankoa Go , the 114-foot compact explorer Fox from Pendennis, Otam’s 90-foot Sexy Me , and two new models from Azimut’s Seadeck Series of low emission yachts, the Seadeck 6 and 7.

Here are 12 must-see boats at this year’s show.

Pendennis ‘Fox’

The recently delivered, 114-foot Fox is an explorer yacht named after Falmouth-born, 19th-century scientist Robert Were Fox the Younger, who invented the compass that guided the first expedition to the South Pole. Built by Pendennis shipyard in Falmouth, U.K., the yacht marries a muscular, military-style exterior with bright and modern beach-house interiors. It sleeps 10 guests in five suites, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck.

RR-MV-Requests-081924-6

Columbus Atlantique 43 ‘Frette’

The second hull in Columbus Yachts’s 141-foot Atlantique 43 series, Frette features Frette Bespoke linens—the Italian luxury brand the yacht is named after. The exterior and interior are designed by Hot Lab, with naval architecture by Hydro Tec. The yacht is defined by its large outdoor areas. A highlight is the 16-square-foot pool at the stern positioned about two feet above the waterline. Guest accommodations on Frette ‘s lower deck include five double cabins, three twins, and two VIPs that can convert into one large VIP suite.

OTAM ‘Sexy Me’

Otam’s new flagship yacht, the Otam 90 GTS Sexy Me , will make its world debut at Cannes following successful sea trials where the 92-footer hit blistering speeds of 45 knots—three knots faster than its contracted top speed. The power comes from a pair of 2,600 hp MTU engines and Arneson surface-drive propellers. Fittingly, the yacht’s helm console is inspired by racing cars with a carbon-fiber structure that resembles the protective “halo” system used by Formula 1 cars. The air intakes on the front of the yacht and “snorkel” on the hardtop purposely resemble the hood and roof scoops on luxury supercars.

60 Sunreef Power Eco

The 60 Sunreef Power Eco is the smallest model in its solar catamaran range. Launched under the Sunreef Yachts Eco flag, the 60-footer relies on engineered solar panels developed in-house by the Polish builder. The photovoltaic technology uses efficient, shock-resistant, flexible, and ultra-thin solar panels integrated in the yacht’s composite structure, including the hull, mast, superstructure, bow terrace, and bimini roof. Key features include a customizable semi-open salon, a large bow terrace and flybridge with a spa pool, a bar, a dining area, and sunpads. It may be 60 feet long, but its interior volume equals a yacht 20 feet longer.

Azimut Seadeck 6

The 58-foot Seadeck 6 is the debut model from Azimut’s Seadeck Series of low emission yachts. According to Azimut, owners can save as reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by as much as 40 percent. The savings come from a lightened carbon-fiber superstructure, a hybrid propulsion system and an optimized hull that is wider at the stern and streamlined at the bow. According Azimut, the hull shape allows the yacht to plane sooner, reducing drag at lower speeds. Azimut’s 72-foot sistership Seadeck 7 will also be at Cannes, where it will make its world debut.

Custom Line ‘Sodan’

Ferretti’s 126-foot Sodan , the eighth hull in the popular Custom Line 120 series, will be shown at Cannes this year by Burgess Yachts. Its raised pilothouse is a key feature of Francesco Paszkowski Design’s sporty exterior. The studio is also responsible for the interior, which has a functional layout and large social areas. Five well-appointed guest cabins include a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck with a private owner’s lounge.

Tankoa Yachts ‘Go’

Tankoa is launching Go at Cannes, the first of its T450 series. The 148-footer may be the largest new yacht at the show, but it’s the first vessel under 164 feet built by the Italian yard. Go , with its steel hull and aluminum superstructure, was developed in partnership with Cassetta Yacht Design & Architecture. It’s built for an American client who increased the gross tonnage from 430GT to 450GT to allow for greater interior volume, including a large owner’s suite forward on the main deck and five lower deck guest cabins. The beach club at the stern has opening sides when at anchor and a pool. “ Go is a great addition to the Tankoa core fleet. It is an incredibly flexible platform on which we can create semi-custom yachts, offering big volumes without compromising on the sleek and elegant lines,” said Claudio Corvino, Tankoa’s sales and business development danager for the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

WiderCat ‘Acali’

Wider Centro Stile and Luca Dini Design penned the first hull in the WiderCat 92 serie s . Acali is a roomy catamaran, featuring the builder’s serial hybrid-propulsion system. The main deck is dedicated to the owner’s suite, with a private foredeck lounge that occupies almost half of the interior space on that level. Two VIP cabins and two twin guest cabins are located on the lower deck. The tender garage has a dropdown transom hatch that turns into a swim platform when lowered. On the upper deck is an additional forward cockpit, sky lounge, and helm station.

Omikron OT-60

The OT-60 is the debut model for Omikron Yachts, a new subsidiary brand owned by Greek shipbuilder Olympic Marine. The Cannes Yachting Festival marks the world premiere of the series, which has six hulls that have been completed or are in build. The interior and exterior configurations are designed by Lorenzo Argento, with naval architecture by Juan Kouyoumdjian. The interiors are styled by Ciarmoli Queda Studio, featuring natural materials, neutral colors, and tactile finishes.

Silent 62 Tri-Deck

Optimized for outdoor living and warm climate sailing, Silent Yacht’s 62 3-Deck , full-electric catamaran promises quiet, emissions-free cruising. Powered by the builder’s signature solar technology, the 62-footer has transoceanic range when cruising at eight knots. A signature design is the large flybridge entertaining space, with dining and lounging areas. It’s matched with a bright main deck salon with large windows, an open galley, and a dining area. The customizable third deck is available in three versions: an open sky lounge, a closed sky lounge, or an owner’s suite.

Sirena 48 Hybrid

This Sirena 48 is the Turkish builder’s first hybrid offering of its series. It’s powered by a serial hybrid powertrain driven by twin 213kW electric motors. When cruising at 14 knots in electric mode, it has a range of 30 nautical miles. Other changes to the regular Sirena 48 include a sleek coupe-style coach roof with glass and solar panels for a sportier look. Replacing the previous open-air flybridge, it allows natural light into the main salon while reducing weight to improve the yacht’s performance and range in pure-electric mode.

‘below deck’ star gary king denies sexual assault allegations, claims accuser is ‘lying’.

“Below Deck Sailing Yacht” star Gary King denies he sexually assaulted makeup artist Samantha Suarez during production on the Bravo reality show last summer.

After Suarez came forward with her allegations Thursday, the reality star defended himself in the comments section of his Instagram account.

“I have never sexually harassed someone in my life, and I will never,” he wrote in response to a fan who urged him to “get sober, get clarity and stop your sexual misconduct.”

When another fan asked whether Suarez was “lying,” King replied, “yes she is. But I will not get into it through comments. Thanks.”

A fan on TikTok also captured a screenshot of King’s since-deleted responses to fans who called out his “disgusting behavior.”

When a user questioned why King has not shut down his social media accounts, the Bravolebrity said he would not “let some lying girl” get to him and that it “seems odd” this allegedly happened to her in multiple seasons.

King’s comments come after Suarez — who joined “Below Deck” in the makeup department on Season 10 of the original series — shared her alleged encounter with him in an interview with Rolling Stone.

The 27-year-old claimed an inebriated King tried to stop her from leaving his hotel room after she dropped off snacks and water during production on Season 4 of the “Sailing Yacht” spinoff in July 2022 in Italy.

Suarez said that when she turned toward the door, King allegedly “came up behind her, grabbed her, pressed her against his body and refused to let go of her” even though she tried to “kick and elbow him to get him off her.”

She said that once she was able to get out of his grasp, she tried to leave out the door, but King allegedly slammed it shut from behind her.

When Suarez notified production about the incident, they allegedly ordered King to sleep on the boat for the remainder of filming and assured her that he would be fired if anything else happened.

“It pretty much sucked from there on out,” she told the magazine. “I was just in a super depressive state.”

Suarez shared that she stayed in her hotel room for a week following the alleged incident and even debated leaving the show altogether.

Rolling Stone also spoke to several other crew members who claimed King made women uncomfortable on set.

“He’s next-level scary with women,” one alleged.

Another crew member — who wanted to remain anonymous — told the publication that they allegedly witnessed King grab a female cast member’s butt and touch her inappropriately even when she asked him to stop.

He was also allegedly caught grabbing the genitals of a production crew member and a male camera operator.

In a statement to Page Six, a Bravo spokesperson said, “Bravo is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows. We require our third-party production companies to have appropriate workplace policies and trainings in place and a clear process on how to report concerns.

“The concerns Ms. Suarez raised in July 2022 were investigated at that time, and action was taken based on the findings.”

Page Six did not hear back from the “Below Deck” production company, 51 Minds Entertainment.

Eminem's Daughter Hailie Sobbing Over 'Somebody Save Me' Song, Music Video

Prince's ex-manager says john legend haters missed performance's point, prince's ex-manager john legend good at dnc but song's message what really matters.

John Legend 's tribute to Prince at the Democratic National Convention was good, but it pales in comparison to the song itself ... so says the late Purple Rain singer's ex-manager.

We spoke with L. Londell McMillian -- who previously worked as both manager and attorney to the ethereal star -- about JL's performance at the DNC this week ... a show which pissed a lot of people off .

ICYMI ... fans called out Legend, 'cause he sounds a lot like himself while singing, and not enough like Prince, while performing with longtime Prince collaborator Shelia E. -- and, many people felt he wasn't the right person to sing "Let's Go Crazy."

Lots of folks online were more excited about Shelia and guitarist Ari O'Neal 's skills ... saying she can shred just like The Artist Formerly Known As.

McMillian's being a whole lot kinder to Legend than many fans on social media ... telling us he was at the DNC and thinks John did a fine job with the song.

That said, LLM adds there's only one Prince ... and, one of his best skills was the ability to craft a powerful message -- a message he felt was on full display in Chicago this week.

McMillan goes on to say everyone's entitled to their opinion ... and his is Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are HUGE Prince fans -- just like everyone should be, L. Londell says.

We broke the story ... Prince passed away more than 8 years ago after overdosing on fentanyl -- and, Shelia E. performed a tribute to him then as well.

Fans may not have loved John's performance ... but, at least Prince's iconic lyrics are staying alive.
