Lagoon Sixty7
At the Cannes Yachting Festival, VALIUM 67, a Lagoon Sixty7 power catamaran, will be available for charter rather than for sale (details can be found on YachtCharterFleet). This 20.15m power catamaran offers flexible accommodation for 8 to 16 guests, with options ranging from four to six cabins. The interior-to-exterior connections on this stunning catamaran create a relaxed way of living at sea, with the capacity for ocean-going voyages. The Lagoon Sixty7 is for sale with many customization options from the French builder, including flybridge models, various cabin layouts, and choices between a lateral or central galley.
Fountaine Pajot Power 67
A new Fountaine Pajot 67 will be on display for sale at the Cannes Yachting Festival's Quai Max Laubeuf. This 19.69m power catamaran boasts a range of 1,700 nautical miles and an autonomy range of up to 480 miles.
Buyers of the Fountaine Pajot Power 67 enjoy extensive customization options, including configurations for up to five cabins. Notable features include an owner's suite with a direct staircase to the foredeck and a jacuzzi terrace, as well as aft guest cabins with separate deck access for added privacy. The generous beam allows for comfortable relaxation for up to ten guests in the aft cockpit.
Aquila 42
Aquila Power Catamarans is inviting yachting enthusiasts, industry professionals, and prospective catamaran buyers to explore two of its premier models at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival.
The Aquila 32 Sport catamaran features a length of 9.86m and a beam of 3.85m. It accommodates four guests in a mix of salon and convertible cabins but can host up to 22 people onboard. Powered by Mercury Verado V6 engines, with an optional V8 upgrade, it’s designed for sporty and versatile use.
The Aquila 42, built to Category A standards for ocean-going adventures, boasts three al-fresco entertainment areas and can host up to 24 guests. It provides sleeping accommodations for eight, with options for further customization to add more cabins and berths. The Aquila 42 won the Yacht Style Awards 2024.
Although not featured at Cannes this year, the Aquila 70 Luxury deserves mention. At 21.26m with an 8.2m beam, it is currently the largest catamaran in Aquila's fleet. This model sets a high standard in luxury and performance, reaching speeds of up to 27 knots with upgraded Volvo Penta inboard engines. Highlights include a spacious 27ft-wide owner’s suite and a wide Portuguese bridge for easy access from the aft to the bow.
Silent 62 3-Deck
Silent Yachts pioneered the production of solar-powered yachts with the launch of the Silent 64 in 2016, marking the beginning of a new era in sustainable yachting. The Silent 64 became the first serial-production solar-powered bluewater catamaran to cross the Atlantic, making the journey from Cape Verde to Barbados in just 16 days with an average speed of 6 knots. Following its success, the Silent 55 made its world debut at Cannes in 2018. At the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, Silent Yachts will showcase the Silent 62 3-Deck.
The Silent 62 3-Deck features a third deck replacing the standard upper deck, with customization options including an open flybridge, an enclosed sky lounge, or an enclosed master suite. The flybridge version, with a retractable roof, offers a dining area, small lounge, and helm station. An open deck version provides the benefits of larger catamarans in the compact dimensions of the 60 Series, while the enclosed options, the 62 Closed, offer additional indoor space, with choices between a sky lounge or an exclusive owner’s suite.
Cats at Cannes
For power catamaran buyers, the Cannes Yachting Festival offers some standout options, including the Leopard 40, the European Powerboat of the Year 2024. The latest addition to the Leopard power range, this catamaran features a spacious flybridge, multiple outdoor spaces, and three cabins with generous island beds. With a cruising speed of 17 knots and a top speed exceeding 22 knots, the Leopard 40PC delivers a comfortable, efficient, and high-performance experience.
Bluegame, part of the Ferretti Group, returns to Cannes with the BGM75, the first model in its BGM range. Breaking away from the traditional 'boxy' catamaran design, the BGM75 features a reduced width, creating a beam-to-length ratio more akin to a monohull. After her global debut at Cannes in 2023, the BGM75 is back to impress once again this year.
The VISIONF 82, slightly exceeding our 24-meter distinction at 24.7 meters, will make an appearance at Cannes, showcasing cutting-edge advancements within the multihull sector. This Category A-designed catamaran features an expansive 9.9m beam and is powered by Volvo Penta D13 IPS1050 engines, offering a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots. Accommodating eight guests and two crew members, the VISIONF 82 boasts a spacious 55-square-meter salon with a versatile layout. The portside dining area comfortably seats 12 guests, and buyers can choose to position the galley on either the main or lower deck, tailoring the yacht to their preferences.
