Cannes Yachting Festival 2026
From September 8 to 13, 2026, the Cannes Yachting Festival will once again welcome the international yachting industry to the French Riviera, with hundreds of boats presented across the Vieux Port and Port Canto.
Seachallenger will be present throughout the 2026 edition alongside Nimbus Boats and Millikan Boats, giving visitors the opportunity to discover some of the latest developments from both brands.
Nimbus Boats – World Premiere of the Sport Tender 35
The major Nimbus highlight in Cannes will be the world premiere of the new Nimbus Sport Tender 35, the first model of the brand’s new Sport Cruiser 35 series.
Built on an entirely new air-lubricated twin-stepped hull, the Sport Tender 35 introduces a new generation of Nimbus Sport Cruisers. Designed to combine the versatility and open spaces of a sport cruiser with the comfort of a Coupé, the new model features flexible social areas, fold-out side balconies and accommodation for extended weekends aboard.
Nimbus will be present at two locations during the festival:
• Nimbus On Land: POWER150
• Nimbus In-Water: POWER054
Displayed Nimbus Models:
• Sport Tender 35 — making its world premiere in Cannes, the all-new 35 introduces a new hull, versatile social spaces and accommodation across two cabins for up to five people.
• Sport Tender 42 — a versatile 42-foot sport cruiser focused on outdoor living, performance and flexible spaces for day boating and longer journeys.
• Sport Weekender 42 — designed around social boating and open-air living, combining generous deck spaces with strong performance and comfort for longer days on the water.
• 365 Coupé — one of Nimbus’ established all-season cruisers, combining practical Scandinavian design, enclosed comfort and efficient long-distance cruising capability.
• 495 Flybridge — the flagship of the Nimbus range, developed for extended cruising and combining generous living areas, long-distance capability and Scandinavian functionality.
The Cannes debut of the Sport Tender 35 will also provide the first look at the direction of the new Sport Cruiser 35 family, which will subsequently expand with Sport Weekender and Sport Coupé variants.
Millikan Boats – M.10 2026
Alongside Nimbus, Millikan Boats will return to Cannes at Stand POWER073, presenting the latest evolution of its M.10 electro-solar catamaran.
For 2026, Millikan will unveil a new inboard configuration of the M.10, featuring a completely redesigned interior and two bathrooms, with the layout developed to provide greater comfort during longer stays aboard.
The M.10 combines 100% electric propulsion with onboard solar generation, allowing quiet, low-consumption cruising while reducing dependence on shoreside charging infrastructure. Its catamaran platform also provides generous living space and stability while underway.
With a major world premiere from Nimbus, a broad five-model display, and the latest evolution of Millikan’s electric cruising concept, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 will be an important event for Seachallenger and an opportunity to discover two distinctive approaches to modern boating.
