The Cannes Yachting Festival is well underway and in this special coverage, Yacht Style presents the second part of the series where it covers international motor yachts set to debut.
Among Groupe Beneteau brands, Prestige’s M48 is among the most anticipated world premieres at Cannes, as one of the first powercats by a leading monohull builder, albeit one with Lagoon as a sister company. Designed by long-time Prestige designer Garroni Design of Italy with French naval architect Philippe Briand, the 14.8m yacht is tall and thin, with just a 6m beam, while options include a full-beam master suite forward.
Dropdown sides expand the width to 18ft 6in, the flexible aft sofa can fold down to become a sunpad, while the two cabins below include an aft master with a double and a sofa or single bed to starboard.Jeanneau’s premieres also include the Cap Camarat 10.5 CC and Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, which is 7ft longer than the series’ former flagship, the Merry Fisher 1095.
