Join us in the Vieux Port and Port Canto for expert brokerage insight and the opportunity to view some of the most exciting yachts on the market.
Since its launch in 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has grown into one of Europe’s premier yachting events and the continent’s largest in-water boat show. Now in its 49th edition, the show marks the close of the Mediterranean charter season while setting the tone for the international boat show calendar.
Taking place from 8–13 September across the Vieux Port and Port Canto in the heart of Cannes, the festival brings together more than 700 yachts up to 55 metres, from world premieres by leading shipyards to some of the market’s most sought-after brokerage and sailing yachts.
As one of the French Riviera’s most important superyacht destinations, Cannes attracts owners, buyers, charterers and industry leaders from around the world. This year, Edmiston returns with its largest Cannes showcase to date, presenting an exceptional fleet of yachts for sale and charter, with our expert brokers on hand throughout the show to arrange private viewings and provide tailored market insight.
The Edmiston fleet
The following Edmiston yachts will be on display throughout the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026. Explore the line-up below and contact our team to arrange a private viewing during the show.
Yachts on display
Among the line-up is 40m ALEGRE, a standout example of Benetti’s acclaimed Classic Supreme 132 series. Meticulously maintained by her original Owner since delivery in 2019, she is presented in turnkey condition following extensive maintenance and upgrades through 2026, offering exceptional volume, proven long-range capability and commercial compliance.
Joining her is 37m JULES, a 2025 Benetti B.Yond expedition yacht combining long-range capability with generous living spaces and contemporary design. Presented in outstanding condition, she offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the shipyard’s newest expedition models.
Next up, the 35m yacht PANTERA is a stunning example from the popular Azimut Grande 35M series. Having been kept private, with just two Owners since delivery in 2019, she is showing in excellent condition. She completed her five-year special survey in April 2026 and holds a clean RINA class certificate, so she’s ready to go.
SOLIS, an award-winning 34m motor yacht combining Northern European pedigree with timeless Claydon Reeves design, will also be part of our impressive fleet.. Launched in 2015 and immaculately maintained, she completed her 10-year special survey in 2025 and is offered in turnkey condition.
Completing the line-up is TWILIGHT, a 29m catamaran from Sunreef Yachts, which boasts both a powerful metallic presence on the water and incredible autonomy. Having only launched in 2025, she also offers the chance to buy a better-than-new Sunreef Power 100 without enduring the normal two-year wait period and the first year’s inevitable snagging issues.
In addition to the yachts on display at the show, a number of exceptional yachts will also be positioned at anchor nearby. These include 60m IDOL by Austal Ship Design, 48m BELLE BRISE by Perini Navi, 47m PARA BELLVM by Sanlorenzo, 40m AURA by Alloy Yachts, 37m WILLPOWER by Custom Line, and 24m INVICTUS by Nautor Swan.
