SAY Carbon Yachts announces two new models: the SAY 32 and SAY 42 Sport

The German cutting-edge yacht builder SAY Carbon Yachts, renowned for its pioneering use of carbon fiber and its precise, performance-driven design, went all out at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. Not only was its flagship, the SAY 52, on display at the show; the shipyard also took advantage of the prestigious international stage to announce two brand-new models, the SAY 32 and the SAY 42 Sport.

SAY 42 Sport: a new evolution of a SAY Classic

The brand-new SAY 42 Sport is a second iteration of the acclaimed SAY 42, designed to offer even greater versatility, comfort, and everyday usability, while staying true to SAY’s precision performance DNA. Built on the same ultra-lightweight carbon fibre hull and propulsion system as the original model, the SAY 42 Sport introduces several key features that make it suited for buyers seeking both performance and luxury amenities. The yacht will have its official debut at the Boot Düsseldorf in January 2026.

“The SAY 42 Sport takes everything that made the original SAY 42 a success and enhances it for more flexible, modern use – said Carlos Vassallo, Global Head of Sales for SAY Carbon Yachts – With more onboard comfort, a sleek hard top, and a fully equipped galley, it’s a high-performance yacht that combines raw power and agile sport handling with a wide range of premium amenities, delivering the ultimate day cruiser experience”.

“The SAY 42 Sport is a true evolution: the same high-performance hull and power options, but now with a more practical and versatile layout – added Karl Wagner, Chief Technology Officer – It’s the perfect blend of what SAY does best: elegant engineering, exhilarating speed, and lightweight construction”.

SAY 32: the most versatile, agile, and accessible yacht in the SAY range

As for the new SAY 32, it will offer extremely precise handling, an athletic design inspired by the automotive world, and the lightness and strength of carbon fiber, all in an accessible format. It is the lightest boat in its length category, weighing only 2.5 tons, and compact enough to be towed by a car. Its launch is scheduled for next spring.

“The SAY 32 is our homage to what made SAY special from the beginning: precision, agility, and raw driving fun – said Carlos Vassallo – It’s a natural evolution of the SAY 29, built for today’s performance-focused owners who want a fast, elegant, and versatile yacht. With the 32 and 42 Sport joining our portfolio, SAY can now cater to more of our clients’ needs”.

“With the SAY 32, we’ve stayed true to our roots and at the same time we’ve raised the bar – added Karl Wagner – We’ve designed an exhilarating driver’s yacht that embodies our core engineering philosophy and delivers on our promise of the ultimate drive on water”.

The SAY 52 takes the spotlight in Cannes

With its 15.95-meter length and a weight of just 7.5 tons, the SAY 52 is built entirely from carbon fiber and perfectly embodies the signature combination of lightness, bold aesthetics, and engineering precision that defines SAY Carbon Yachts. Powered by twin Volvo Penta V8 or D6 engines (up to 880 horsepower), with an optional hybrid-electric propulsion system for silent, emission-free cruising, the SAY 52 reaches a top speed of 45 knots—a true showcase of power, efficiency, and innovation.

The SAY 52’s presentation in Cannes marked a turning point for the brand in the French market, one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for yachting. As SAY Carbon Yachts expands its presence throughout France and the Mediterranean, the Côte d’Azur stands out as a natural stage for the brand’s mix of cutting-edge design, sustainability, and performance. With a rapidly growing client base in the region, SAY’s presence at the show reinforces its commitment to performance-driven, carbon-built innovation, designed for the Mediterranean and beyond.
