The year 2026 marks a particularly significant milestone in the history of Prestige. At the Cannes Yachting Festival, scheduled for September 8 to 13, the French shipyard is presenting no fewer than three new models as world premieres: F6.7, M6, and M8 EVO. A collective premiere in a single event that clearly tells the story of the brand’s direction, balancing design evolution, attention to life on board, and new interpretations of the yacht as a home on the sea. These are three yachts differing in architecture and design philosophy, yet united by a quest that places comfort, luminosity, space flexibility, and the relationship with the sea at its core.
Prestige F6.7 represents the pinnacle of the new generation of the F-Line. Following the renewal of the range with F4.3, F4.9, and F5.7, Prestige Yachts pushes its design language toward superior dimensions and levels of refinement, offering a yacht designed for those who consider life on board an extension of their lifestyle.
«In recent years, Prestige has launched the F4.3, F4.9, and F5.7 models. With the launch of the F6.7, the shipyard completes the new generation of the F-Line, today offering a fully renewed and cohesive flybridge range,» explains Jean-François Lair, Brand Director of Prestige. «F6.7 also responds to the evolving expectations of contemporary owners seeking more than performance or volume: they want a yacht that reflects their lifestyle, offering comfort, flexibility, and a true home on the sea.»
With 170 m² of living space, the F6.7 develops the concept of space through an almost total continuity between interior and exterior. The new enlarged hull windows accentuate brightness and the visual relationship with the sea, while the exterior lines, inspired by the movement of water, give the yacht an elegant and contemporary profile.
«F6.7 expresses the brand’s excellence in creating intuitive and refined yachts, the result of years of experience and expertise from Prestige,» emphasizes Clémence Cessou, Marketing Manager at the shipyard. «Its 170 square meters of living space offer modular layouts, fluid movement, and a continuous connection with the sea, creating a truly intuitive living experience on board. The outdoor areas have been designed to offer versatility and allow guests to enjoy the sea at any time of day. Inside, the owner finds a refined atmosphere and the exceptional comfort of a real home on the water.»
The 26 m² flybridge is conceived as a true panoramic terrace. The modular configuration allows alternating between convivial moments and relaxation, thanks to a large lounge area, a dinette, an outdoor galley, and various configuration possibilities in the aft section.
The foredeck area also takes on a central role. Here, Prestige has created a lounge dedicated to contemplation, featuring a large sunbed, sun awning, and facing seating. An environment designed to accompany every moment of the day, from breakfast to cruising, right up to sunset.
Aft, the cockpit unfolds across two levels and becomes a real terrace on the sea. The large sunbed at water level conceals ample storage lockers for water toys, while the upper terrace houses a protected dining area. Alternatively, the area can be configured as a true beach club.
On the main deck, which offers 83 m², the galley takes on a novel role. The central island, the heart of conviviality, is surrounded by large glass openings connecting the salon, dining area, and cockpit. An alternative configuration with a port-side bench and folding table is also available to adapt spaces to the owner’s needs.
The lower deck is dedicated to privacy. The standard layout provides three cabins, with the option for a fourth, accommodating up to eight guests. The 20 m² owner’s suite occupies the forward area and features step-free private access, large panoramic windows, and an en-suite bathroom. The crew cabin for two people has independent external access and a direct connection to the engine room. Natural materials, soft tones, rattan, velvet, and fine surfaces contribute to creating an atmosphere of discreet, almost whispered luxury.
On the technological front, the yacht can be equipped with Silent Mode, while the SEANAPPS system allows remote monitoring and management of onboard systems. The Garmin suite integrates navigation, monitoring, and maneuvering into an intuitive interface.
The second world premiere from Prestige at Cannes is the M6 yacht, a natural evolution of the M48 which in 2022 marked the shipyard’s entry into the power multihull segment. The new model stems directly from the experience gained with M48 owners, gathering their feedback and suggestions after long periods on board.
At 48 feet, the M6 offers 110 m² of living space, with a perception of space comparable to that of a yacht of around 60 feet. But the dimensional figure is not the central point of the project. M6 was conceived for extended stays on board, with particular attention to family conviviality, storage, and ease of movement.
The galley, highly appreciated on the M48, maintains a central position in onboard life. Storage spaces have been integrated practically everywhere, including under seating, increasing functionality without altering the aesthetics of the spaces.
M6 retains the proven hull of the M48, but dresses it in a completely updated silhouette. New exterior lines, an integrated windshield, redesigned wings, and a new roofline produce a cleaner, more contemporary profile. The steel nameplate with the M6 name becomes a distinctive element, while the flybridge, pulpits, and guardrails have been redesigned according to Prestige‘s latest stylistic language.
The 18 m² flybridge is a panoramic terrace dedicated to relaxation. Sunbeds integrate storage compartments, while freestanding modular furniture visually lightens the space. Rounded shapes and soft tones contribute to a cozy atmosphere, ideal for long anchorages and evening conviviality.
On the main deck, natural light enters through large hull windows that facilitate ventilation and reinforce the connection with the sea. The fully equipped galley remains the hub of daily life, while new sofas and a softer color palette highlight the discreet elegance of the interior.
The owner’s cabin has been completely redesigned, featuring more closets and integrated furniture solutions. A sofa and desk complete the space, while the en-suite bathroom offers a more functional layout and a separate shower.
M6 is available with three or four cabins and can accommodate up to eight guests. The three-cabin layout is particularly recommended for extended cruises, thanks to an optimized space distribution.
Powering the yacht are two Volvo D6 380 HP engines with V-Drive transmission. The new configuration achieves good performance at lower engine speeds, bringing benefits in terms of range, vibration, and noise levels. The result is a yacht focused on ease of use: every element, from space layout to storage areas, has been designed to make life at sea more natural.
Finally, with the new M8 EVO, Prestige updates its flagship of the M-Line and advances the vision inaugurated by the M48 and subsequently developed with the M7 and M8. The twin-hull architecture enables significant beam, stability, and volumes typically associated with larger yachts.
The profile has been updated through three main elements: new hull windows, a refined black fashion plate, and a completely redesigned hardtop. The result is a more harmonious and streamlined silhouette, combining the elegance of a traditional motor yacht with the advantages of a multihull platform.
The twin-hull architecture was developed specifically for a power yacht. Increased stability, both underway and at anchor, reduces roll and enhances comfort in various sea conditions. Hull optimization also helps contain fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions compared to a monohull of equivalent volume. Added to this are lower-impact materials, including responsibly sourced woods, vegetable-tanned leather, and low-impact finishes.
The optional Silent Mode Pack system, together with optimized energy management and solar panels, allows extended stays at anchor while reducing noise, vibration, and direct emissions.
The flybridge of the M8 EVO has been completely reimagined and now spans the full beam of the yacht. The elimination of the internal staircase and the revision of the hardtop supports expand the perception of space and make movement between environments more fluid. The result is a true open-air living space, bathed in natural light and featuring an uninterrupted panoramic view. The aft area, more open, can be configured according to the owner’s needs. The cockpit remains one of the most spectacular areas of the yacht: a grand terrace on the sea establishing a direct relationship with the water.
The interior has also been redesigned to combine conviviality and privacy. The new galley, positioned next to the helm station, incorporates a dining area with a bar, expanded and shifted to starboard. Everything flows naturally into the living room, encouraging socializing while also enabling discreet service. Large panoramic windows illuminate the interior throughout the day, while flush floors and continuous pathways heighten the sense of openness.
The full-beam owner’s suite represents one of the most defining highlights of the M8 EVO. The new walk-in wardrobe is organized into two personal areas, while an office and relaxation zone create a natural transition between bedroom and bathroom. An environment that Prestige interprets as a «penthouse on the sea.»
Customization is a further distinctive feature. Configurations, layouts, and finishes can be combined to build a yacht aligned with every owner’s lifestyle.
The interior design references modernist architecture, reinterpreting it through a contemporary sensibility. Natural tones, deep blues, pure shapes, and selected materials craft an elegant yet welcoming environment. «With the M8 EVO, we wanted to create a more intimate and cozy atmosphere, where modernist inspiration meets a contemporary reinterpretation of Art Déco glamour,» explains Interior Designer Valentina Motta. «The purity of forms, combined with warm natural materials and deep shades, leaves owners the space to make their yacht truly personal.»
The presence of Prestige at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 carries a significance that goes beyond the simple presentation of three new models. F6.7, M6, and M8 EVO represent three complementary interpretations of the same yachting concept: experiencing the sea with greater freedom, comfort, and naturalness.
Three world premieres in the same show are an important milestone. Above all, they are the statement of a strategy: Prestige aims to continue redefining the concept of life on board, placing at the center not just the yacht, but the experience of living it.
Prestige presents the world premiere of the F6.7, M6, and M8 EVO, three models that represent the evolution of the F-Line and M-Line ranges.
F6.7 is the new flagship of the F-Line and offers 170 m² of living space, a 26 m² flybridge, generous outdoor spaces, and an interior configuration of up to four cabins and eight guests.
The M6 can accommodate up to eight people and is available with three or four cabins. The three-cabin configuration is particularly recommended for extended cruises.
M8 EVO introduces a full-beam flybridge spanning the entire width of the yacht, new hull windows, a redesigned hardtop, and a full-beam owner's suite. The design also emphasizes customization, luminosity, and spatial continuity.
