Boat shows are always a golden opportunity both for those in search of a new hull and for those who like to dream and fantasize while walking along the docks.
Novelties, accessories, new boats and exceptional hulls in abundance.
The only problem, sometimes, is finding one’s way through the welter of people, boats and opportunities that lie ahead.
And the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, scheduled for September 10 to 15, will be no different.
That’s why, as always, we offer a list of our “must sees.”
So, for you, 7 boats not to be missed at Cannes 2024.
Sizes?
Including Between 16 and 28 meters…
Under 16 meters, however? If you missed them, we told you about them as well: you can find them respectively HERE, if you are looking for vessels; Should you instead wish to discover hulls 10 to 14 meters, HERE; and finally HERE, for boats between 14 and 16 meters.
Cannes will also feature the new Fiart P52, a 16-meter open boat suitable for day use as well as small cruising.
Ample deck space, with several lounges and sunbathing areas in fact make it a good platform to enjoy one’s days outdoors, to which is added the interior configuration, strong with two double cabins, to offer space beyond the night for even 4 people.
Equipped with two Volvo IPS800 engines, it will have a maximum speed of 35 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles www.fiart.com
We open with a trawler, a type of hull that always knows how to have its own appeal, however modern and contemporary in design it may be.
And, Sirena Yachts, offers one that is decidedly innovative, as well as hybrid.
It is, indeed, the Sirena 48 Hybrid, a cruiser that winks at sustainability, capable of cruising in hybrid up to 350 miles, as well as proceeding in total silence in full-electric mode.
Sustainable charm aside, the new Sirena is also a hull that knows its stuff, with a pleasant and well thought-out design, capable of devoting as much space to the exterior as to the interior, where 3 cabins can accommodate up to 6 people, plus one, eventually, should one opt for a crew cabin.

Also in Cannes will be the new flagship of the Magazzù inflatable boat fleet, a 16.7-meter outboard walkaround available in MX-16 versions, equipped with three Mercury outboards (1800 hp total, 50 knots); and M-16, inboard, with a Volvo Penta IPS 800, a version that optimizes efficiency and range on long runs.
Below deck, on both versions, the layout includes two double cabins, a convertible dinette and two separate bathrooms, while the outboard version, in the space “freed” from the engine room, gives the opportunity to add a third aft cabin for the sailor.

Global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival for Solaris Power’s newest addition, the 60 Open.
Sleek, elegant, and strong with engines ranging from 1,200 to 1,370 horsepower, Solaris’ new open is a hull that looks to comfort and elegance, externally as well as internally.
In fact, two large sundecks on deck, a large open-air lounge and between the two and three interior cabins make it a hull that knows how to look at cruising needs as well as day-cruiser needs, all condensed on a hull that makes aesthetics one of its many strengths.
