Next Yacht Group is taking part in the Cannes Yachting Festival from 8 to 13 September 2026 with its Maiora and AB Yachts brands. The company is giving the Maiora M|30, the first model in the new M Collection, its world premiere; four units were sold before the official unveiling. The Maiora 36 Exuma and the AB 130 are on display alongside it.

The group has entered the Global Order Book for the first time, ranking 15th among yacht builders worldwide. Over recent years it has widened its sales and service network in its main markets.

Maiora M|30

Quartostile designed the exterior; the interiors were developed by the Maiora Style Centre with Acube Design. The profile is close to that of a coupé, with a full-beam bow, large glazed surfaces and a side light signature that also marks the second model in the range, the M|38. On board, walkaround circulation, an enlarged beach area and a cockpit laid out as a waterfront lounge organise the exterior spaces.

The yacht measures 30.40 metres overall with a 7.50-metre beam, is arranged over three decks and sleeps up to 12 guests in five cabins, with a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck. Three crew cabins take up to five people. Two MAN V12-2000 engines of 2,000 hp each give a top speed of 21 knots.

Maiora 36 Exuma

The unit shown at Cannes is the second of the series, delivered to her owner in early summer 2026. The model came out of the collaboration between the yard and Quartostile. At 36.90 metres overall and with a draft of 1.45 metres, it can reach bays and anchorages in shallow water that are usually out of range for yachts in this class. Three MAN V12 engines of 2,000 hp each drive two MJP steerable waterjets and one central MJP booster waterjet, for a top speed of 33 knots. Gyroscopic stabilizers work both at anchor and underway.

AB 130

The AB Yachts flagship measures 39.65 metres overall. Glazing in the saloon brings in more natural light, while sun pads, an open-air cinema and a forward lounge make up the outdoor areas. Aft, fold-down side wings extend the beach area into a platform at sea level.

The propulsion package pairs two MJP steerable waterjets and one central MJP booster waterjet with three MTU engines of 2,600 hp each; top speed is 41 knots and draft 1.30 metres. Lightweight construction, a constant at the yard, bears on efficiency, acceleration and stability. Gyroscopic stabilization again operates at zero speed and underway.
