The countdown is on for one of the most exciting debuts of this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, as the all-new GranOcean W-72 makes its official European premiere from 8–13 September 2026. For anyone considering a luxury power catamaran that combines long-range cruising, exceptional comfort and extensive customisation, this is a yacht well worth experiencing in person.
As the official GranOcean dealer for Thailand and Hong Kong, Fairview Yachting is delighted to invite clients to view the W-72 during the show and discover why the model is already attracting significant attention from experienced yacht owners around the world.
A New Benchmark for Luxury Power Catamarans
The GranOcean W-72 has been designed for owners who want far more than simply a beautiful yacht. Every aspect of the design focuses on delivering a genuine long-distance cruising platform without compromising on luxury, practicality or performance.
With her contemporary styling, expansive living spaces and semi-custom build philosophy, the W-72 offers owners the opportunity to create a yacht that truly reflects the way they cruise. From interior layouts and finishes through to technical specifications and onboard systems, each yacht can be tailored to individual requirements.
Capable of speeds of up to 26.7 knots, the W-72 combines impressive performance with the stability, efficiency and generous accommodation that have made power catamarans increasingly popular with discerning owners.
Designed Around the Owner
Unlike many production yachts, the GranOcean W-Series has been developed with owner involvement at its heart.
Whether your plans involve exploring the Mediterranean, cruising through Southeast Asia or embarking on extended passages between destinations, the W-72 can be configured to suit your lifestyle. Spacious entertaining areas, beautifully appointed cabins, generous storage and outstanding visibility all contribute to a yacht that feels equally suited to relaxing family holidays or entertaining guests in complete comfort.
The result is a yacht that delivers the flexibility of a custom build while benefiting from the proven engineering and efficiencies of a semi-custom platform.
Why See the W-72 at Cannes?
The Cannes Yachting Festival has long been regarded as one of Europe’s most important in-water boat shows, bringing together many of the world’s leading yacht builders alongside thousands of prospective owners and industry professionals. With more than 700 boats on display across the Vieux Port and Port Canto, it provides the ideal opportunity to compare the latest models side by side.
For GranOcean, this year’s event marks a significant milestone as the W-72 officially enters the European market. Visitors will have the opportunity to step aboard, experience the yacht’s remarkable interior volume firsthand and speak directly with the GranOcean team about build options, customisation and ownership.
