Ahead of the 49th Cannes Yachting Festival, which will commence in the South of France next week, we’re looking at some of the most impressive boats that will be showcased at the event.

Flying Dagger

At 49.9 metres, Rossinavi’s Flying Dagger combines sleek, automotive-inspired lines with serious speed, reaching up to 27 knots. Delivered in 2018, the sporty superyacht sleeps 10 guests across five cabins and features a private master balcony, expansive beach club and generous outdoor spaces.

Orion One

Making her first appearance on the superyacht circuit, 43.8-metre Orion One is the new flagship from Turkey’s Orion Yachts. Her 480GT interior is designed around relaxed, easy movement, while the expansive upper deck brings together a Jacuzzi, bar, dining and lounging areas; inside, 12 guests can be accommodated in five cabins.

Jules 

Delivered in 2025, Benetti’s 36.9-metre Jules is a long-range explorer yacht built for venturing beyond the usual cruising routes. A 5,000-nautical-mile range, shallow 2.5-metre draft and expansive outdoor areas make her equally suited to remote escapes and relaxed time at sea.

Lori 

Ocean King’s 41.8-metre Lori pairs a tough, expedition-inspired exterior with a sleek contemporary interior.Her adaptable deck with opening balconies create versatile spaces for outdoor living right at the water’s edge.

Twilight 

Sunreef’s 28.6-metre Twilight is a powerful catamaran designed to maximise space, with a 13.5-metre beam creating unusually generous areas for relaxing outdoors. Inside, a laid-back palette of natural timber, cream and taupe gives the 2025 yacht a refined beach-house feel.
