Cannes Yachting Festival is once again showing where the market is heading: more catamarans — and more variety than ever.
Here are 7 launches worth watching:
⛵️ Aquila 45 Sail
A major step for Aquila as the powercat specialist enters the sailing market with a new 45-foot cruiser.
⛵️ Fountaine Pajot FP48
A new generation of FP cruising catamarans, combining multiple living areas with a stronger focus on energy autonomy.
⛵️ Fountaine Pajot FP55
A larger new model designed to offer even more space for long-distance cruising.
⛵️ Lagoon 47
A redesigned flybridge, direct access from the saloon to the forward cockpit and a flexible Smart Room.
⛵️ Leopard 43
A sportier approach with reverse bows and an optimised sail plan while retaining cruising comfort.
⚡️ Aquila 35 Sport
A completely different kind of powercat: a compact, fast dayboat with twin outboards producing up to 400 hp each.
🛥 PRESTIGE M6
A luxury powercat that continues to blur the line between traditional motor yachts and multihulls.
The big Cannes 2026 trend?
Catamarans are no longer simply an alternative to conventional yachts. The category now spans cruising, performance sailing, high-speed powercats and luxury multihulls.
