The Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 just ended after six days of fun for people who like to sail. Nearly 700 boats from 5 to 50 meters long were on display at the show, which took place around the Vieux Port and Port Canto in Cannes. Some of the biggest names in the yachting industry were also there. Some of the world’s best brokerage yachts for sale and charter were also on display, along with new yachts from the world’s best shipbuilders. This gave people who want to buy or rent a yacht a great range of options.But which yachts caught the eye of the people there? Here are some of the biggest and most impressive superyachts that will be at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival.

1 – M/Y BAGLIETTO T52 – new yachtAt 52-metres, the T52 displacement yacht model was the largest superyacht at Cannes, turning heads for its striking good looks and sporty lines. Enjoying its global debut at the show, the T52 yacht boasts naval architecture by Baglietto and an interior design penned by Francesco Paszkowski Design in collaboration with Margherita Casprini.

The yacht model is the first from Baglietto to have a high-tech hybrid propulsion system. This is an important step for the luxury Italian shipyard on its way to making yachting more environmentally friendly. This luxury yacht is built with the future in mind. It has top-of-the-line amenities, an elegant design, and cutting-edge technology, as well as flexible living spaces that provide the most comfort.
