While the world's stars were walking the red carpet at the opening of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, we decided to turn our attention to the other ‘catwalk’ - the blue one - and see what superyachts are attending the main cinematic event of the year. The superyacht presence near the port of Cannes and the surrounding area is no less impressive!

A grandiose megayacht converted from the 95-metre Indian Empress (also known as Al Mirqab and Neom), owned at various times by the Prime Minister of Qatar, a member of the Saudi royal family, and Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya. The interior, by Reymond Langton Design, is decorated with a variety of arts and crafts from renowned artists and designers, but what makes it particularly unusual is the corridor with huge video walls showing underwater footage. The yacht also features a seven metre swimming pool that converts into a dance floor, a spa and a dining table in the main dining room that can accommodate up to 32 guests. Check more photos of the yacht in our article.

The 80-meter, six-deck Chopi Chopi is one of the largest yachts ever built in Italy. The beach club alone, located on the lower deck, spans an impressive 100 square meters. The exterior design and layout were crafted by Studio Zuccon International Project, while the interiors and furnishings were created by Laura Sessa.

The yacht boasts a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles and a top speed of 17 knots.

In 2024, the crew of this 70.2-meter yacht played a key role in a relief operation, delivering essential supplies to the island of Carriacou in the Caribbean following the devastation caused by Hurricane Beryl. Local residents received food, kitchenware, tools, children's items, and bedding.

The largest aluminum sailing catamaran in the world, measuring 47 meters in length, an impressive 17.30 meter beam, and featuring a 55-meter carbon mast. It was built by an Italian shipyard based on a design by Axel de Beaufort and Guillaume Verdier.

The roof of the deckhouse is equipped with 65 square meters of solar panels, capable of instantly generating 12 kW and storing up to 60 kW of energy per day. Complementing this system is a 270 kWh lithium battery bank, which allows for emission-free power generation for over 6 hours under full load.

In addition to its innovative design, the yacht is noteworthy for being a sailing museum. The flybridge is used as an area for virtual exhibitions, workshops and conferences, while the interior central space houses an art gallery.
