A look back at Day 4 of the Cannes Yachting Festival 🇫🇷 The days move quickly here, and we’ve been filming plenty along the way. This time, I’m taking you behind the scenes to show you a little more of Cannes beyond the docks—including inside the Fountaine Pajot space, where clients, brokers, and the team can grab a coffee, get some work done, or simply escape the heat and chaos of the show for a few minutes. There’s still plenty more to share from Cannes, including guided walkthroughs and more from behind the scenes. Subscribe so you don’t miss what’s coming next. #CannesYachtingFestival #FountainePajot #Catamaran #YachtBroker

Day 1 at the Cannes Yachting Festival — and a familiar yacht was first on my list. A few weeks ago, I joined this yacht for part of her delivery from La Rochelle to Portugal as she made her way south to Cannes. Today, I had the chance to step back aboard and take another look around — this time at the show. There’s a lot to take in at 70 feet, but what continues to stand out to me is the combination of space, comfort and how well this yacht has been designed for life on board. While I’m here, I’ll also be filming a more in-depth guided walkthrough of the FPY 70S, so stay tuned for a closer look at the yacht. I’ll be at Cannes throughout the week. If the FPY 70S is on your list and you’d like to step aboard yourself, get in touch and we can arrange a private appointment. #FountainePajot #FPY70S #CannesYachtingFestival #SailingCatamaran

Day 5 aboard the FPY 70S brought us into Portimão — and officially to the end of my part of her journey to Cannes. After several days of mixed conditions, Day 5 gave us something similar, and we spent much of the day motoring. Ironically, we ended up crossing paths with a Fountaine Pajot Samana 59 along the way and cruised alongside her for a while — which made for some pretty incredible drone footage. Once we arrived in Portimão, the owners of the 59 very kindly took our crew out for dinner — a great way to wrap up our final night together after five days aboard. I filmed the last part of this reel the following morning — Day 6 — just before disembarking and heading home. My time aboard may be over for now, but Hull #1 still has some miles ahead of her as she continues toward Cannes, where I’ll reunite with her in just a few weeks for her world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival. If you’ve been following this journey, don’t go anywhere — there’s plenty more to come. I’ll be sharing more from the FPY 70S before and during Cannes, including a closer look at the finished boat and everything we learned from these first days at sea. I’m also now accepting private appointments during the Cannes Yachting Festival. If you’re attending and would like to step aboard the FPY 70S with me, send me a message to arrange a time. Also we will be doing private sea trials just after Cannes. Follow along — the journey to Cannes continues. #fountainepajot #fpy70s #cannesyachtingfestival #acyyachts

Day 4 aboard the FPY 70S couldn’t have been more different from Day 3. Zero wind, calm seas, and a full day of motor-sailing. During my night watch, we had some fog roll in and quite a bit of traffic as we got closer to the coast. It gave me a chance to really appreciate the interior helm station and the layout around it. The coffee bar sits right beside the helm, which gave me a great spot to stand, keep the binoculars handy and get a better look ahead before settling back in at the helm. It’s a small detail, but one I really appreciated during a busy watch—and another part of this boat I’ve enjoyed getting to experience properly while underway. One more day to go. Follow along for the final stretch of my time aboard hull #1 before I disembark in Portimão. From there, she’ll continue on to the Cannes Yachting Festival, where I’ll reunite with her in a few weeks for her world debut. #fountainepajot #fpy70s #cannesyachtingfestival #acyyachts

Day three aboard FPY 70S hull #1—and I’m beginning to appreciate just how much her size changes the experience offshore. Most of my previous offshore sailing has been aboard 40–55-foot catamarans. I initially wondered how the additional size, volume and weight of the 70S would affect her performance, but out here, I’m seeing the other side of that equation. Her length and displacement allow her to move through the seas with a level of stability and composure that makes life on board noticeably more comfortable. We’re resting better, moving around more easily and even managed to sit down to a delicious meal prepared on board. Day three was an excellent one—and the more time I spend aboard this yacht, the more impressed I am by what she’s capable of. One final update to come before my time aboard comes to an end in Portimão and she continues on to the Cannes Yachting Festival. I’ll meet her there again in a few weeks, when she makes her official world debut at the show. Follow along—the journey isn’t over yet.

Here’s a quick sneak peek at the new Fountaine Pajot 48, the model that will replace the Tanna 47. The Tanna (and before that the Saona) has been one of my favorite sailing cats to work with. They’ve always struck the perfect balance of size, performance, and safety — which is why they’ve been such a hit with fun-time cruisers. This new 48 keeps that DNA but takes it a step further. She’s actually almost 49 feet, so noticeably bigger than the Tanna. You’ll first see her at the Cannes Boat Show in 2026, and then she’ll make her U.S. debut at the Annapolis Boat Show in October 2026. This is just an early look — I’ll be putting together a full walkthrough and more details as we get closer, so make sure to subscribe if you want to follow along. – James Tiernan 📧 JT@jtiernan.com 📱 +1 (832) 849-7322 #FountainePajot #FP48 #Catamaran #acyyachts
