New sailing yachts and catamarans available for hire in 2027 following our visit to the Cannes Yachting Festival

This week, we visited the Cannes Yachting Festival to discover the new models unveiled by the shipyards and to meet our clients and partners.

A big thank you to the festival organisers and to everyone we met for the lovely moments we shared.

We inspected the boats from Voile Evasion’s perspective: comfort, performance, quality of fittings, ease of movement and suitability for charter. Here are the models we have selected for your next cruises.

Three new catamarans available for hire in 2027

Lagoon 47: user-friendly and versatile

Unveiled in 2026, the Lagoon 47 succeeds the hugely popular Lagoon 46. We particularly appreciated the seamless flow between its spaces: a door connects the saloon directly to the forward cockpit, whilst the flybridge offers a lovely relaxation area around the helm station.

The Lagoon 47 is now available in a version featuring five cabins, plus a skipper’s cabin. This layout is particularly appealing to large families and groups of friends wishing to sail with a skipper whilst retaining their own private spaces.

Bali 5.2: an exceptional living space

On board the Bali 5.2, we found the hallmarks of Bali: a large aft door connecting the saloon to the cockpit, a spacious, rigid foredeck and a flybridge designed for both sailing and relaxation.

Available in several configurations with up to six cabins, it is particularly well-suited to large families and groups of friends. The first vessels are already available for charter in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. The range is set to expand further in 2027.

New monohulls available for hire in 2027

Dufour 39: sailing without compromise

Unveiled as a world premiere at Cannes, the Dufour 39 is a new-generation cruising yacht. Its hull has been designed to strike a good balance between sailing pleasure, stability and interior space.

We believe its 12-metre length makes it particularly well-suited for charter trips with family or friends. It remains manageable for a small crew whilst offering plenty of space to live comfortably on board for a week.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 385: simple and reassuring

The Sun Odyssey 385 heralds a new generation of Jeanneau sailing yachts. Its deck layout facilitates movement and clearly separates the manoeuvring areas from the leisure spaces. The cockpit, featuring higher backrests, promises good support whilst sailing and greater comfort at anchor.

With four interior layouts and several rigging options, it can be adapted to suit a variety of sailing plans. We see it as an excellent choice for a couple, a family or a small group wishing to sail with or without a skipper.
