Closing the doors on another edition brimming with innovative production yachts and immersive exhibits, the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival has officially closed its doors.
Welcoming around 700 boats, including 119 superyachts, the latest Cannes Yachting Festival hosted 103 superyacht debuts and welcomed a footfall surpassing 55,000.
Offering dedicated exhibits to a broad range of nautical niches, such as the Sailing Area, which is home to the largest in-water showcase of sailing yacht charters and boats, the Cannes Yachting Festival continues to prove why it is a staple event on the yachting calendar.
With the Superyacht Extension in Vieux Port and brokerage yachts in Port Canto, the superyachts on display at the Cannes Yachting Festival bring visitors up close to a good mix of new, refitted, and seasoned luxury yachts, with ample opportunities to explore the indulgent onboard amenities and see what each yacht holds in store for prospective owners and future Mediterranean yacht charter guests.
Impressing crowds throughout the duration of the show, debuting yachts in the marina included the largest in-show, 180.5ft (54.99m) superyacht charter AFTER YOU. Launched in 2011 and last refitted in 2022, this was the first opportunity for the European audience to see all her updates, and she did not disappoint.
Formerly known as QUINTA ESSENTIA, this Heesen yacht rental is the perfect choice for action-packed watersports yacht charters with an overflowing toybox and a spacious beach club.
Also making their debuts around the pontoons, 146ft (44.5m) luxury yacht charter PANDION PEARL made her mark with her bold, dominant aesthetics and top-tier amenities as she made her first show appearance since the Monaco Yacht Show in 2023.
Brand new this year, 123.1ft (37.52m) charter yacht GEULUNEL made her show debut at Cannes following her attendance at the Dubai International Boat Show in February. With a range of 3,000 nautical miles and opulent interiors, she is a motor yacht charter primed for indulgent voyages around the Med and Caribbean.
