The Cannes Yachting Festival is due to return from 6-11 September 2022. Founded in 1977, the Cannes boat show takes place in the French city every September and showcases almost 600 boats, including motor yachts, superyachts, catamarans, tenders and sailing yachts. The in-water show in the Bay of Cannes takes place in two of the city’s ports, the Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto.
If you are planning to go to the show this year, please do not miss the chance to see these great boats on display:
Known for outstanding ‘made to measure’ Italian design, Sanlorenzo is globally recognised as one of the leading shipyards of the world. Introducing its SP, or “Smart Performance” range of yachts is Sanlorenzo’s new SP110, an Open Coupè boat that adds an important new dimension to the luxury and pleasure of yachting: sustainability.
The shipyard will also unveil another new hybrid model SD90/s, which is the third model in Sanlorenzo’s popular semi displacement series that began with the SD96 and SD118. This new smaller model sees improvements to the stylish and technological research of the shipyard to create a more efficient yacht.
The Italian shipyard will open the Cannes Yachting Festival with the announcement of the joint development with Siemens Energy, on the integration of fuel cell technology in the 24-80m yachting sector and two contracts for the development and the purchase of new generation diesel electric and hybrid systems. The agreement will enable the creation of new technologies aimed at significantly reducing the impact of yacht usage on the marine ecosystem, with significant benefits in terms of environmental sustainability.

Bluegame, Sanlorenzo’s sister company, will stage the world premiere of the BG54 at Cannes along with a BGX70, BGX60, BG72 and BG42. Bluegame redefines the concept of space with the 54 feet. Maintaining all the founding values of each Bluegame project, the BG54 has challenged the dimensional limits providing amplifying space: both inside and outside the BG54, in the extended relaxing and equipped bow and stern areas or in the owner’s cabin.
