The best tenders and dayboats at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2017

As one of the biggest and best boat shows in the world, the Cannes Yachting Festival always has a dazzling array of tenders and dayboats to choose from, and this year’s line-up is no different…

Our round-up starts with the new 13 metre dayboat from French yard Canados. The 428 Gladiator was developed in collaboration with superyacht designer Marco Casali and was built to RINA A class standards. Engine options include Volvo Penta and Cummins set-ups and the most powerful promises a top speed in excess of 55 knots.

Yet another sleek sporty dayboat from the boards of Christian Grande DesignWorks, the Sacs Rebel 47 is sure to attract plenty of admiring glances at the Canes Yachting Festival 2017. Built to EC Category B, this 14.21 metre RIB can whisk up to 16 guests ashore in no time at all with a pair of 400hp Volvo Penta D6 engines churning out plenty of power.

With Mercedes-Benz style and a gleaming silver finish, there’s certainly no mistaking the Silver Arrows 460GT, which will be gracing this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival. A whole host of big names from the superyacht world worked on this 14.2 metre project from Martin Francis to Tommaso Spadolini and Van Oossanen Naval Architects. And with the recent news that Finnish yard Baltic Yachts will be putting the prototype into production, we can expect to see a lot more of the 460GT in the future.

The 16.95 metre Zeelander 55 will be getting its European debut at Cannes this year. The classic exterior lines come courtesy of Dutch superyacht designer Cor D Rover, while the smartly conceived interior can welcome up to ten guests for a meal in the fully enclosed wheelhouse — and the Seakeeper stabilisation system ensures you won’t need to worry about spilling your drink. What’s more, clients can choose to work with Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design to customise the on-board décor.
