From September 8 to 13, 2026, Cannes will once again become the center of the international yachting world. As official dealers for Dufour Yachts and Fountaine Pajot, we have four world premieres on the agenda this year—a special highlight in Fountaine Pajot’s 50th anniversary year.
We’re here to assist you in Port Canto and the Vieux Port —schedule your personal tour today.
Dufour Yachts: World Premiere of the New Dufour 39
The Dufour 39 combines the best of both worlds: impressive sailing performance and smart onboard living in an accessible format under 40 feet. It was designed for modern owners who want to enjoy a wide range of sailing experiences—from weekend cruises and after-work regattas to longer blue-water voyages.
Highlights of the Dufour 39
A flexible cockpit design with spacious outdoor areas for relaxation and socializing on board
Two layout options: available with either two or three cabins
New: Performance version for even better sailing performance, without compromising on comfort and livability
Elegant design, smooth freedom of movement on board, and generous storage solutions
World Premiere in Cannes
The Dufour 39 will celebrate its official world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival. This marks the first opportunity to experience the new model in person and get a firsthand look at its layout, features, and sailing philosophy.
Fountaine Pajot: Three World Premieres to Mark Its 50th Anniversary
Fountaine Pajot is using its anniversary year to continue the renewal of its product line. Following the success of the FP41 and FP44 last year, the next steps are now underway:
1. FP48 – the new benchmark in the 48-foot class
With the FP48, Fountaine Pajot is steadily continuing to refresh its catamaran lineup. As the successor to the Tanna 47, it combines the shipyard’s new design language with even more light, a spacious feel, and a high level of autonomy.
2. FP55 – featuring a flybridge for the first time
With the FP55, Fountaine Pajot is breaking new ground: For the first time in this model series, the shipyard is introducing a catamaran with a full-fledged flybridge.
The design combines spacious outdoor areas with a high degree of privacy and exceptional space. Depending on the configuration, up to six double cabins are possible. At the same time, self-sufficiency is a central focus: an integrated solar power system with a capacity of up to 6,300 watts supports a largely independent lifestyle on board.
3. FPY70S – Your Gateway to a New Dimension in Yachting
With the FPY70S, Fountaine Pajot is significantly expanding its lineup into the high-end segment. The 70-foot sailing catamaran is designed for owners who want to combine generous space, customization, comfort, and yacht-level sailing performance.
As part of Fountaine Pajot Yachts’ premium line, the FPY70S represents a new dimension within the portfolio, combining the shipyard’s expertise in multihull construction with an even greater emphasis on luxury, autonomy, and custom configuration.
World Premieres in Cannes
The FP48, FP55, and FPY70S will make their world debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival. This marks the first time Cannes is offering the opportunity to experience all three new models in person and to directly compare the next generation of Fountaine Pajot boats with one another.
The new models will then be unveiled to an international audience in Annapolis.
