Santasevera returns to the Croisette for the third consecutive year, bringing two models that reflect the brand’s evolution and a growth path already looking ahead to future projects.
Santasevera will attend the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, taking place from 8 to 13 September, with the Santasevera 42 in its HT version and the Santasevera 52, the two yachts that currently best embody the shipyard’s vision in the contemporary open cruiser segment. Following last year’s participation, the brand will once again be present in Cannes , this time with both models displayed afloat, available for onboard visits and sea trials throughout the show.
The event comes at a time of consolidation for Santasevera, as the company continues to expand its range with yachts defined by clean, understated lines, a strong focus on onboard liveability, and solutions designed to deliver a relaxed and natural cruising experience. This direction stems from the experience of Francesco Guida - naval architect, designer, and founder of the brand - who in 2026 celebrates forty years in the yachting industry.
The Santasevera 42 will make its first appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival following its international debut at Boot Düsseldorf, where it introduced the Santasevera concept in a more compact format. The model inherits the distinctive features of the larger Santasevera 52, including a sleek superstructure that also provides effective protection for guests, particular attention to cockpit shelter, and a layout conceived to ensure continuity and comfort throughout life on board.
The exterior areas are among the highlights of the project. A large C-shaped sofa, a fully equipped galley unit, twin chaise longues, and a beach club with sunpad and generous swim platform create a versatile setting designed for socialising and enjoying time by the water. Below deck, the flexible configuration allows the interior spaces to be adapted to the owner’s individual requirements.
Alongside the new 42, Santasevera will also present the Santasevera 52, the model that marked a key step in the brand’s international growth. With an overall length of 16.35 metres and a main deck developed entirely on a single level, the 52 expresses the Santasevera philosophy through open, flowing spaces designed to combine functionality, comfort, and a close connection with the sea.
One year after its launch, the Santasevera 52 has achieved a significant commercial milestone, with ten units sold. The Santasevera 42 has also reached the same figure, confirming strong owner interest and reinforcing the positioning of both models within the international yachting market.
Santasevera’s participation in the Cannes Yachting Festival therefore represents an important opportunity for the brand to present not only two already established models, but also its future direction, with several new projects currently under development that will further expand the range in line with Francesco Guida’s design vision.
The Santasevera 42 and Santasevera 52 will be available for onboard visits daily from 5:00pm to 6:00pm throughout the show at berth QSP 055, by appointment.
