Viareggio, 7 September 2026 – Maiora is preparing for the Cannes Yachting Festival, taking place from 8 to 13 September 2026, with a particularly significant event: the world premiere of the new M|30, the first model in the new M Collection and a new expression of the brand’s design vision.

The international debut comes with an important endorsement from the market: four M|30 units have already been sold ahead of the model’s official presentation. A result that confirms strong interest in a new generation of Maiora yachts, developed around an increasingly fluid, natural and contemporary approach to life on board and the connection with the sea.
Alongside the new M|30, Maiora will also bring the Maiora 36 Exuma to Cannes, the evolution of a model that has already achieved significant international success. Completing Next Yacht Group’s presence at the French show will be the AB 130, the AB Yachts flagship and a powerful expression of the brand’s sporting and technological DNA.
Participation in the Cannes Yachting Festival marks a strategic milestone in Next Yacht Group’s growth journey. In recent years, the Group has consolidated its presence across key international markets through a highly qualified sales and service network. This growth is also reflected in its first-ever entry into the Global Order Book, where the Group ranks 15th among the world’s leading yacht builders.
With the world premiere of M|30, Maiora 36 Exuma and AB 130, Next Yacht Group brings to Cannes three complementary interpretations of its vision of contemporary yachting. For Maiora in particular, the show marks a key moment in the evolution of the brand and its range, with the aim of further strengthening an identity built around stylistic research, innovation, comfort and connection with the sea, within the Group’s broader yacht boutique positioning.

MAIORA M|30: WORLD PREMIERE FOR THE NEW M COLLECTION
Taking centre stage for Maiora in Cannes is the M|30, the first model in the new M Collection, making its official debut in a world premiere.
With M|30, Maiora introduces a new interpretation of onboard space, shaped around continuity between indoor and outdoor environments and an increasingly direct relationship with the sea.
The project was conceived to create a fluid and natural transition between the yacht and its marine surroundings, transforming the onboard spaces into open, dynamic environments with a strong connection to the water.
The exterior design is by Quartostile, while the interiors were developed by the Maiora Style Centre together with Acube Design. A near-coupé profile, full-beam bow, expansive glazed surfaces and distinctive side light signature define the identity of M|30 and introduce the design language of the new M Collection, which also includes the M|38.
On board, walkaround layouts encourage a freer use of the spaces, while the enlarged beach area and cockpit, conceived as a true waterfront lounge, further strengthen the continuous dialogue between yacht and sea. A design philosophy that places the onboard experience at its core, offering a more spontaneous and contemporary way of enjoying life at sea.
With an overall length of 30.40 metres and a beam of 7.50 metres, M|30 is arranged over three decks and features five guest cabins, accommodating up to 12 guests, with a full-beam owner’s suite located on the main deck. Three additional cabins accommodate a crew of up to five.
The yacht is powered by two MAN V12-2000 engines, each delivering 2,000 hp, for a top speed of 21 knots.

MAIORA 36 EXUMA: EXPLORATION, COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE
Alongside the new M|30, Maiora will also showcase the Maiora 36 Exuma at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the evolution of a model that has achieved significant international success and interprets the relationship with the sea through a combination of design, performance and exceptional cruising freedom.
The result of the collaboration between the shipyard and Quartostile, the yacht on display in Cannes is the second Maiora 36 Exuma unit, delivered to her owner at the beginning of summer 2026.
With an overall length of 36.90 metres and a draft of just 1.45 metres, the yacht is designed to offer an uncompromising cruising experience, providing access to bays, anchorages and shallow waters that are normally difficult to reach for yachts in this category.
Three MAN V12 2,000 hp engines are coupled with two steerable MJP waterjets and a central MJP booster, a configuration that enables a top speed of 33 knots while ensuring excellent manoeuvrability and comfort.
Gyroscopic stabilisers, operating both at anchor and while underway, complete the profile of a yacht conceived to combine exploration, comfort and performance, expressing one of the most dynamic sides of the Maiora range.

AB 130: THE AB YACHTS FLAGSHIP IN CANNES
Completing Next Yacht Group’s presence at the Cannes Yachting Festival will be the AB 130, the flagship of AB Yachts, a brand that has always been synonymous with speed, innovation and technological research.
With an overall length of 40 metres, the AB 130 represents a new frontier for the shipyard in terms of design, liveability and technological content, interpreting the brand’s sporting DNA through expanded volumes, an even more commanding presence and an architectural approach that enhances continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The expansive windows in the main saloon maximise natural light, while sunbathing areas, an open-air cinema and a forward lounge provide even more opportunities to enjoy the exterior spaces. At the stern, fold-down side wings significantly extend the beach area, transforming it into a generous platform overlooking the sea, dedicated to relaxation and conviviality.
The propulsion system consists of two steerable MJP waterjets and a central MJP booster, paired with three MTU engines delivering 2,600 HP each, for a top speed of 41 knots and a shallow draft of just 1.30 metres.
Lightweight construction, a hallmark of the AB Yachts philosophy, helps maximise efficiency, acceleration and stability, further enhanced by a gyroscopic stabiliser operating both at zero speed and while underway.
