Vieux Port, Cannes

Following on from our preview of powercat premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 (September 8-13), Yacht Style looks at key motoryacht exhibitors in the Vieux Port (Old Port).

JETÉE

After entering the Vieux Port’s main entrance and heading through the indoor Pavilion exhibition area, guests are greeted by the Jetée in-water display, where Italian giants Azimut|Benetti Group, Ferretti Group and Sanlorenzo Group hold court alongside British builders Princess and Sunseeker.

Azimut’s extensive display this year includes four world premieres headed by the flagship Grande 44M (143ft), designed by Alberto Mancini and recently launched in Viareggio. The company’s other debutants include the Mancini-designed Seadeck 9 (84ft) and a new Fly model.

Another much-anticipated premiere is the Magellano 27M (88ft), which represents Azimut’s first design collaboration with Jarkko Jamsen and features an interior by Michele De Lucchi and his AMDL Circle studio. The shipyard’s extensive display also includes other Grande, Magellano and Fly models, plus the Seadeck 6 and 7, the latter featuring Volvo Penta’s new IPS Hybrid propulsion.

Ferretti Group’s main display includes the world premieres of the Riva 96’ Argo Super flybridge motoryacht, Pershing GTX90 sportbridge model and the streamlined Itama 70 and Riva 56’ Rivale Super open cruisers. Other Riva and Pershing motoryachts, and multiple Ferretti Yachts flybridge models – including the new 720 that debuted at Boot Dusseldorf 2026 – are also part of a strong display.
