Top 10 Must-See New Boats at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025

The Arcadia A80 makes its world debut with a raised pilothouse design focused on environmental sensitivity, space optimization, and indoor-outdoor living. It features an expansive 80m² upper deck - the largest in its class - with generous lounge and dining space rarely seen on a yacht this size. Integrated solar panels reduce fuel usage and support compliance with eco-regulations, while a widebody layout includes a main-deck master, five guest cabins, and crew quarters. Delivering “pocket superyacht” amenities under 24m, the A80 is being closely watched for its blend of luxury and sustainability.

The new VanDutch 75 is the largest open model to date, retaining its low-slung profile while introducing modern Mediterranean styling. Powered by triple engines for a reported 38–40 knot top speed, it balances power with elegance. Features include a 45m² cockpit lounge with opposing sofas, a concealed anchor system, and a carbon fiber hardtop that integrates with its sleek lines. Interiors come in two décor themes with three cabins plus crew, highlighting a mix of minimalist design and upscale finish. This new flagship is set to turn heads for its elegant simplicity and strong performance.

Debuting as a new flybridge flagship, the Absolute 70 FLY emphasizes indoor-outdoor living with a vertically descending swim platform and a six-panel sliding glass door that opens the saloon completely to the cockpit. The four-cabin layout, plus crew quarters, is complemented by options such as solar-equipped hardtops. With panoramic views, a contemporary interior, and advanced technology, this model is expected to be a festival highlight.

One of the most talked-about debuts this year, the Lazzara LPC 300 power catamaran delivers over 300m² of usable space thanks to a patented full-beam lower deck. An extraordinary 8.9m beam allows for a 29-foot-wide master suite with fold-out balcony and private beach club, alongside four ensuite guest cabins and crew quarters. The open-plan salon, expansive flybridge with hot tub and BBQ, and high-end engineering details position this yacht as a major disruptor in the catamaran market. With a cruise speed of 16 knots and a top end of 21 knots, it combines space, comfort, and efficiency.

As the third generation of this popular flybridge yacht, the Galeon 640 Fly arrives at Cannes with updates to a model renowned for its folding “beach mode” balconies and transforming layouts. Signature features like the rotating aft bar seat remain, expanding deck space dramatically at anchor. Updated styling, enhanced technology, and twin 1000hp engines delivering a 24-knot cruise ensure it builds on its predecessor’s reputation. With its clever space-maximizing design and trend-setting features, the Mk3 is expected to draw large crowds.

The latest Princess V65 introduces a brand-new deep-V hull designed for improved efficiency, lift, and handling. Twin MAN V12 engines provide speeds of up to 38 knots, pairing performance with luxury. A large retractable sunroof and triple-section glass salon doors convert the main deck between climate-controlled comfort and open-air entertainment. Below deck, four cabins accommodate eight, while flexible cockpit and foredeck layouts enhance social spaces. This next-generation sports cruiser offers speed, versatility, and striking style.

Positioned between earlier and larger multihull models, the Prestige M7 brings the comfort of a much larger yacht to a sub-18m platform. A full-beam master suite, expansive flybridge, and open-plan saloon reinforce its superyacht feel, while layout options add flexibility for owners. With twin engines reaching around 22 knots, the M7 balances efficiency and stability with luxury. Interest is high as this model pushes forward the trend toward large-volume power catamarans.

Compact yet glamorous, the Riva Cento celebrates the 100th hull of a celebrated 38ft model line. With twin 440hp engines delivering speeds of 40 knots, a hydraulic swim platform that unfolds into a beach club, and cockpit seating convertible into a sunpad, this limited-edition version enhances the charm of a proven classic. Subtle heritage touches are paired with modern updates in finishes and fittings, ensuring the Cento appeals to those who value tradition reimagined with contemporary flair.

The Bluegame BGF45 introduces foiling-assisted technology to a luxury powercat platform, reducing drag and fuel consumption by up to 30 percent while delivering performance up to 35 knots. Inspired by high-performance chase boats, this yacht glides above the waves for speed and efficiency, while still offering two cabins, spacious lounges, and premium finishes. With its futuristic design and eco-conscious engineering, the catamaran represents a bold vision of the future of fast, green yachting.

The new Sirena 60 builds on the success of its predecessor, refreshing the design with more glazing, a brighter interior, and revised layouts for enhanced livability. Features include a larger galley, an optional day head, redesigned social spaces on the foredeck and cockpit, and subtle flybridge upgrades. With three cabins plus crew and upgraded engine options pushing speeds to 25 knots, it retains the efficient semi-displacement hull while delivering more luxury and versatility for long-range cruising.
