Van der Valk has added another custom yacht to its fleet—the 35-meter Lalabe, which will debut in Cannes. The yacht’s owners, an experienced yachting couple, wanted more than just an expedition vessel; they envisioned a true residence on the water, a second home where three generations of their family could feel comfortable. Both the exterior and interior of Lalabe were designed by Guido de Groot and his team at Guido de Groot Design. The base architecture and engineering, however, borrow elements from the 34-meter Lady Lene project developed by Diana Yacht Design. Guests can unwind in the salon on the bridge deck, which features sliding glass on three sides, relax in the spa with its steam room and sauna, or enjoy the wide beach club with its transformable swim platform.

In addition to the Riva 112 Dolcevita Super, Riva is preparing to unveil a new model in its open yacht line—the elegant 56’ Capri (17.27 m). A perfect choice for southern resorts, it promises to glide through the water at speeds of up to 37 knots, offering the thrill of the southern breeze. Details remain under wraps for now.
The sporty flybridge yacht AB 95 incorporates ideas showcased in the AB110 model. With a lightweight composite hull, advanced engineering solutions, and a powerful propulsion system, it achieves a top speed of over 50 knots and boasts a range of 440 nautical miles. Despite its sporty design, the yacht is remarkably quiet and vibration-free, enhancing the onboard experience. The model combines stylish, spacious communal areas, including an expansive flybridge and a two-level water-side relaxation zone at the transom. Powered by engines delivering a combined 6,000 horsepower, this yacht can reach speeds of up to 50 knots.
Cantiere del Pardo is revitalizing the VanDutch brand, and its first result will be showcased at the Cannes Yachting Festival: the VanDutch 75 (22.61 m), featuring three cabins. The yacht retains its recognizable exterior with a low profile, sharp geometry, and elegantly balanced proportions. Technically and functionally, the VanDutch 75 is classified as an open yacht, equipped for long-range cruising. Features include a garage for a small tender, ample storage, a fuel tank with a capacity of 3,820 liters, and three Volvo Penta engines with IPS (maximum speed—40 knots). The hull accommodates three cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom.
Pershing expands its GTX line with the third model, measuring 21.88 m. It embodies the same sporty spirit and comfort as previous GTX models but in a more compact format. The new yacht offers spacious interiors and exteriors that surpass many other vessels of similar length. The Pershing GTX70 features two decks and a 16-square-meter “sport bridge.” It can accommodate up to six passengers. The beach area at the stern expands to 23 square meters thanks to fold-out side terraces. The hydraulic swim platform can be raised to the level of the main deck and used to launch a jet ski or a Williams 325 tender.
The long-awaited Itama 54-foot model has arrived. With a length of 16.44 m and a beam of 4.73 m, the Itama 54 is designed to offer greater comfort in living areas while underway and provide more space overall. Among its innovative features is a large bow sunbathing platform integrated into the deck. Unlike previous models, the bow access is located on the starboard side rather than through the center of the windshield—this design allows the hatch to remain open, providing access to both the bow and lower deck. This layout connects the cruiser’s main space with the dining area and a second bow cockpit. Another standout feature is the angled transom, which creates a generous storage space under the aft sunbed, perfect for water toys. The lower deck includes two cabins, two bathrooms, a galley, and a dinette.
Known for its catamarans, VisionF ventures into speedboat construction with the Superfast 46, a vessel capable of reaching speeds of 80 knots. It not only slices through the water effortlessly but also stands out with its streamlined aerodynamic profile and exceptional handling at high speeds. The hull is built using advanced technologies, including infusion and vacuum molding with multi-axial carbon fiber. At its core are twin Mercury Racing Sportmaster engines, each delivering 450 horsepower, paired with the Mercury Active Trim system, Racing Revolution X powertrain, and VesselView 903 system. Optional features include the Mercury Joystick Piloting system for control at both high speeds and during docking in crowded marinas. For safety and reliability, the boat is equipped with three bilge pumps capable of handling 2,000 gallons per hour, two fire extinguishers, optional anchoring systems, and a rearview camera.

Beneteau introduces two debut models—the 35 and 40 Coupé—from its updated Grand Turismo line. The 35-foot model features an open layout and fold-down bulwarks, following the concept of “living fully on the water.” The deck seating in both the bow and stern converts into large sunbeds. The boat is powered by twin Mercury Verado engines with 300 or 350 horsepower. Meanwhile, the Gran Turismo 40 Coupé can be ordered with either outboard motors (two Yanmar engines totaling 640 horsepower) or inboard motors (400-horsepower Verado), as well as an open or enclosed cabin. The cabin is designed in a Japanese minimalist style using high-quality materials. Beneteau collaborates with Alpine, offering a special Signal Grey hull color with black accents, along with dark blue vinyl for the interior and seat upholstery.
Invictus Yacht is preparing the global premieres of two new flagship models, ST550 and TT550, both measuring 16.87 m and designed by Christian Grande. The Invictus ST550 launches a new line of cabin cruisers. Its signature inverted bow, rounded lines, spacious layout, and finishes in teak, mahogany, and stainless steel make it one of the most elegant boats at the show. The ST550 is powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS800 engines or, optionally, IPS950 units. The TT550 is a walkaround version of the model.
