Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: Super Yacht Charter RENEGADE Makes Boat Show Debut Following 2025 Refit

Fresh from a 2025 refit, the Australian-built superyacht charter will be showcased in the heart of Vieux Port, giving brokers and prospective charter guests their first opportunity to step aboard during a major international yachting event.

Having spent more than three decades evolving into a proven charter platform, RENEGADE's debut at Cannes marks a notable milestone in her history. While she has long been available for luxury yacht charters, the 2026 edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival represents her first appearance on the global boat show circuit.

Originally delivered by Lloyds Ships in 1992, luxury yacht charter RENEGADE underwent a significant refit in 2025, refreshing both her interiors and onboard amenities while preserving the robust engineering and generous volumes that have made her a popular choice for Mediterranean yacht charters.

Her expansive exterior decks offer multiple areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining, while interiors by Rainsford Mann Design create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere that complements extended time on board.

Operating throughout the Mediterranean during the summer season, RENEGADE cruises comfortably at 11.5 knots with an impressive range of 3,500 nautical miles, allowing guests to enjoy longer charter itineraries in the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia and the Ligurian coastline without compromising comfort.

Stabilizers both underway and at anchor enhance guest comfort, while onboard amenities include a fully equipped gym, satellite communications, Wi-Fi connectivity and spacious indoor lounges for unwinding after days spent exploring ashore.

Running from 8-13 September 2026, the Cannes Yachting Festival traditionally opens the European boat show calendar and attracts many of the world's leading shipyards, brokers, and West Mediterranean charter yachts. Set across the picturesque Vieux Port and Port Canto, the event offers visitors an opportunity to experience some of the industry's most impressive yachts before the close of the Mediterranean season.

For charter yacht RENEGADE, the exhibition provides an ideal platform to introduce the yacht to a wider charter audience following her recent upgrades, while demonstrating the continued appeal of well-maintained classic superyachts that have successfully evolved with modern charter expectations.

Availability is still open for the 2026 Mediterranean season; however, many charter yachts have issued their calls for final bookings. A yacht charter broker can guide you on which yacht rentals still have your preferred dates and the destinations that tick all of your boxes.
