Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: Luxury Yacht Charters Making Their Debuts

Building on a successful edition last year, which showcased 57 luxury yacht charters with 30 of them making their debuts, the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival is expected to see a flurry of show, regional, and global debuts, with visitors able to get up close, gain first-hand knowledge, and enjoy abundant opportunities to obtain exclusive merchandise from over 680 exhibitors.

Offering an ensemble of motor, sailing, and catamaran yacht charters, this year's attending fleet is already shaping up to cater to a broad range of charter groups and prospective owners.

Let's take a look at some of the superyacht charters scheduled to make their debuts at Cannes this year.

Currently the largest charter yacht making her debut at Cannes, 163.7ft (49.85m) superyacht charter RENEGADE is set to attract a lot of attention around the pontoons as she makes her first-ever appearance at a boat show. Launched back in 1992, she benefits from a 2025 refit and offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in five cabins. 

Available for Mediterranean yacht charters, she is the largest LLoyds Ships charter yacht and features a good range of toys for adventurous guests, with gear including F5S Seabobs, a Sea-Doo GTX Limited 300 Jet Ski, a LIFT4 Foilboard and lots more.

Brand new and making her global debut, 133.1ft (40.8m) charter yacht LADY SARAH is the latest Oasis 40M yacht for charter to hit the market. Showing that the Oasis range has no intention of slowing down any time soon, this Benetti yacht rental has all the makings for an indulgent voyage in the Mediterranean, with vast exteriors that live up to the standards you'd expect from the Italian fleet.

Accommodating up to 10 charter guests in 5 cabins, she boasts a great range of 4,000nm, allowing her to effortlessly explore striking archipelagoes and far-reaching coastlines.

Another Benetti fresh from the yard, 112.9ft (34.36m) luxury yacht charter AITANA further cements the growing demand for Oasis yachts. Delivered as the third Oasis 34M charter yacht, she sports an inviting pool, plenty of exterior deck space, and a wealth of lounge options for relaxed yacht charters in the South of France. 

Capable of accommodating a range of charter groups, AITANA has a graceful appeal and is certain to have a promising future on the charter market.

Marking her first boat show appearance since 2024, 95.4ft (29.06m) charter yacht JICJ is a striking motor yacht charter with a good range of toys and amenities to keep the whole family entertained.

Boasting a five-cabin layout for up to 10 charter guests, JICJ is a Sanlorenzo yacht rental with sophisticated interiors that are thoughtfully planned to make the most of the sights and sounds of the French Riviera. 

Another global debut for the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, 94.11ft (28.93m) yacht rental INVICTUS is a seasoned charter yacht with spacious interiors, dedicated exterior spaces for both entertaining and relaxation, plus a good selection of toys.

One of eight Sanlorenzo SD96 charter yachts, INVICTUS sports homely indoor spaces, with gym equipment, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an outdoor cinema being just some of her key highlights.
