Since 2024, many of the show’s smaller motoryachts have been exhibited over in Port Canto, in the ‘Power Boat Marina’ located on the east side of the port, south of the sailing multihulls.

Jeanneau EX 34

Jeanneau’s extensive and varied line-up of powerboats includes the world premiere of the EX 34 Hardtop, the first model in a new series from the French shipyard. Its display also includes the TH38 and TH33 twin-hull motoryachts, the ‘monomaran’ Sea Loft 480, and the inboard versions of the DB/43 and DB/37 premium dayboats.

Jeanneau’s six-series display also includes three Merry Fisher enclosed models (1295 Fly, 1095 Fly, 895) and four Cap Camarat open cruisers (12.5 WA, 10.5 WA, 9.0 WA, 7.5 WA), all in Walkaround editions.

Wellcraft 33 T-Top & 33 Speedster

Among other Groupe Beneteau brands, Wellcraft debuts its 33 T-Top alongside the 38 T-Top, 28 T Top and 28 Explorer, while Delphia shows its new 11 FlyLounge, now equipped with a 250hp Yanmar engine.

Beneteau’s display includes Antares enclosed ‘weekenders’ (12 Fly, 11 Coupe, 9) and Flyer open dayboats (10 Sport Top, 9 SunDeck).

Saxdor 460 GTS

Near the visitor entrance, Saxdor is debuting its 460 GTS, the open version of the flagship 460 GTC that debuted at Boot in January, while the Finnish brand is also showing the 400 GTC, 400 GTS, 340 GTWA and 320 GTO. Separately, the Saxdor 400 GTS is berthed by the swing bridge for sea trials.

Axopar is staging the world premiere of its semi-enclosed 38 Cross Top, which is accompanied by the enclosed 38 Cross Cabin that debuted at Boot Dusseldorf 2026 (and was followed by the Sun Top edition) and won the ‘Motoryacht 10-12m’ category at Yacht Style Awards 2026. The Finnish brand’s other models at Cannes include the 45 Cross Top, 29 Sun Top and 29 Cross Cabin.

Axopar 38 Cross Cabin

Brabus – which produces upgraded versions of Axopar models – is debuting the Shadow 1000 (38ft) alongside the Shadow 1500 (45ft), which are powered by two and three Mercury Racing 500R V8 engines respectively.

The five-strong Nimbus display is headed in size by the Swedish brand’s flagship 495 Flybridge and includes the 365 Coupé.

Nimbus Sport Tender 35

However, much of the focus is on the world premiere of the Sport Tender 35 – the first of three models on a shared 35ft hull – while the open Sport Tender 42 and semi-enclosed Sport Weekender 42 are two examples of the brand’s 42ft trio that debuted at Boot 2026 (under different names).

Aiata, part of Turkey’s Anadolu Group, is showing its Sunfinder 38 and debuting its Wayfinder 50, the enclosed version of the open Sunfinder 50 that premiered at Boot in January.
