Must see yachts at Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 - 25m and under

Cannes enters its preparation stages as one of the most anticipated yachting events of the year returns to the beautiful Cote d'Azur. Here, we focus on the best new models under 25m (82ft) in the heart of production yacht building. 

Expecting an incredible fleet of yachts for sale in all shapes and sizes, the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival is shaping up to be an edition to remember and the latest models under 25m will play a major part. 

As always, the iconic Cannes event knows how to attract the crowds, laying on one of the best collections of yachts anywhere on the planet and all on the water. With 136 models making their global debut during the six-day event, there are plenty of reasons why prospective Owners should be making their way to the show.

Narrowing down the staggering fleet to a curated collection of must-see yachts, take a look at our best picks of sub-25 metre yachts attending the Cannes Yachting Festival this year.

Absolute 75 Navetta

The largest Navetta model yet from Italian builder Absolute, this 23m (75ft) cruising yacht takes the trawler-inspired Navetta range to new heights. Continuing design trends with previous Absolute Navetta yachts for sale, interior accommodation looks sensational, with tall ceilings and extensive glass sections throughout the main salon. 

Featuring a spacious upper deck, a four-cabin layout and some serious cruising ability, there's a lot to get excited about onboard the Absolute 75 Navetta, even before seeing the Owner’s cabin that feels as though it should belong to a much larger yacht.

Boasting a cruising speed of around 10-12 knots, with a top speed of 26knots, up to eight guests can stay overnight plus a couple of crew members too.

LOA: 23m (75ft 5in)

Identifiable as a cruising and weekending crossover, the Extra Yachts Extra X76 features a capacious open aft deck, that will act as the main social area for Owners and their guests in warmer climates, with the hardtop flybridge sheltering dining guests.
