Ancasta highlights ones to watch at the 2018 edition of TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show and Cannes Yachting Festival
With exciting world launches, world premieres and UK debuts from its new boat brands, Ancasta has picked out those boats that shouldn’t be missed at TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show (14th – 23rd September 2018) and Cannes Yachting Festival (11th – 16th September 2018).
EUROPEAN PREMIER Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 (M134) is premiering jointly at both shows. This exciting new addition to the Oceanis range boasts all the features of a large cruising yacht whilst managing to balance elegance, usable space and performance. It has the distinctive Finot-Conq stepped hull and large portholes bringing natural light right into the centre of the boat. An efficient deck plan makes the Oceanis 46.1 safe and easy to sail, even when short-handed.
UK DEBUT The Beneteau Oceanis 55.1 (M130) is making its UK debut in Southampton and can also be seen in Cannes. An evolution of the Oceanis 55, the 55.1 has a new refreshed, lighter wood interior, reconfigured owners’ cabin and a completely redesigned navigation station.
WORLD LAUNCH Beneteau First 18 and Beneteau First 24 (M127 & M129). The latest models in Beneteau’s classic small boat range are being launched jointly in Southampton and Cannes. These boats are designed to respond to every touch of the helm, accelerating at the slightest gust. The hull design gives the boat speed. They are equally fun to race, as to take out for a day sail or short cruises. The First range gets people into the thrill of sailing and is priced to encourage boat ownership.
SOUTHAMPTON DEBUT The magnificent Lagoon 630 (M524) will also be in Southampton for the first time and can also be seen in Cannes. This is the ultimate in hospitality and viewing is a must if visiting the show. The sheer scale, efficiency and quality of this motor yacht must be considered if you are looking to buy a motor yacht capable of long distance cruising in comfort.
WORLD LAUNCH Swift Trawler 47 (M124) is being launched at both shows. The latest in the new generation of Swift Trawlers from Beneteau, the Swift Trawler 47 features spacious interiors, a large flybridge and open deck plan, as well as a large swim platform making it ideal for cruising with the family. Wide walkways and hand rails ensure those on board feel safe moving around. Already easy to handle with twin engines, the Swift Trawler 47 can be fitted with joysticks to make manoeuvring in the harbour even easier.
UK DEBUT The Beneteau Gran Turismo 50 Sportfly (M126) will have its UK debut in Southampton. Based on Beneteau’s flagship GT cruiser, the GT 50 Sportfly features the latest technology including the onboard Ship Control system. Powered by Volvo IPS600 on an AirStep® II planing hull, driving sensations are second to none with the bonus of economy and manoeuvrability of IPS. The tender garage, designed to fit a Williams Minijet, is a feature not often seen on 50ft boats.
WORLD LAUNCH The all new Prestige 590 (Cannes) will have its world launch in Cannes. Keeping the signature features of the latest Prestige models, the Prestige 590 has windows running along the hull, long elegant lines and the clever design features, such as reclining sun loungers and a BBQ on the flybridge, that Prestige has become known for – touches that make life on board easy.
SOUTHAMPTON DEBUT The S-line version of the popular Prestige 460 (M518) will be available to view in Southampton. A faster, more agile, Coupé version, the Prestige 460S has a huge aft sliding glass door that can open up the living space to the outside which, along with the large opening sunroof, enhances the feeling of space on board.
SOUTHAMPTON DEBUT The new high-gloss interior of the Prestige 630F (M514) will be on display. The new interior fits perfectly with the ultra-modern styling of this motor yacht and adds to its luxurious feel. The huge flybridge is a superb area in which to relax and entertain.
Additionally, at TheYachtMarket.com Southampton Boat Show, daily splicing demonstrations will run at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on the Advanced Rigging & Hydraulics Stand no: J211.
