September 8–13, 2026 | Cannes, France
Each September, the Cannes Yachting Festival brings the global yachting industry to the French Riviera for one of the most important events of the year. More than 700 boats and yachts are expected across Vieux Port and Port Canto, bringing together leading builders, new technology and some of the year’s most anticipated world premieres.
Cannes 2026 will be especially significant for several brands represented by Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. Princess, Sunseeker, Absolute and SACS will arrive with extensive displays, including major new models making their first public appearances.
Here are the debuts making headlines, plus the complete lineup from our brands at this year’s show.
Princess X90 Makes Its Global Premiere
The all-new Princess X90 will make its global premiere at Cannes, becoming the latest addition to Princess Yachts’ X Class. The X90 continues the philosophy that has defined the range: creating significantly more usable onboard space and a stronger connection to the water. Expansive exterior areas and flexible living spaces give owners more ways to use the yacht, whether entertaining, cruising or spending extended time aboard.
The X90 will headline a seven-yacht Princess display at Vieux Port.

Three New Absolute Navettas Make Their World Premiere
Absolute Yachts is bringing one of its largest displays to Cannes with 11 yachts, led by three world premieres from the Navetta range: the Navetta 50, Navetta 58 and Navetta 66.
Together, the three new models offer a look at the next generation of Absolute design. Larger glazed surfaces, terrace-style cockpits, adaptable furnishings and increasingly open connections between interior and exterior spaces put usable living space and connection to the water at the center of the experience.
The new Navetta 50 brings that approach to a more compact platform, while the Navetta 58 adds a versatile cockpit and step-free flybridge. At the top of the new trio, the Navetta 66 expands the concept with open views, modular furnishings and a generous flybridge.

Sunseeker Introduces the Manhattan 94
Another major global debut comes from Sunseeker with the all-new Manhattan 94.
Previously announced as the 94 Yacht, the new model now joins the Manhattan family and will serve as the centerpiece of Sunseeker’s Cannes display. The first hull has already launched and is undergoing testing ahead of its first public appearance in September. The Manhattan 94 arrives alongside a broad Sunseeker display spanning performance, flybridge, Ocean and larger luxury yachts, giving visitors a look across much of the builder’s current range.

SACS Opens a New Chapter with the Hyper 5S
The Hyper 5S will make its world debut as the first model in an entirely new SACS range. Rather than simply extending the existing Rebel or Strider families, SACS describes Hyper as a new direction focused on greater space, freedom and versatility.
For a builder known for combining performance with unconventional design, the Hyper 5S represents a significant step forward and gives Cannes visitors the first opportunity to see where SACS is headed next.
The SACS Hyper 5S will make its world debut at Cannes 2026.
In addition to the Hyper 5S debut, SACS Tecnorib is showcasing models from its Rebel, Strider and Pirelli Speedboats ranges at Cannes.
