Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 – Lancia 42 World Premiere

The Soul of the Sea Awakens: Lancia Aprea Returns to Cannes with the New Lancia 42 and the Restyled Lancia 52

There are emotions that never fade, passions that transcend time while preserving their beauty. This is the soul of Cantieri Aprea, which in 2025 will once again inspire enthusiasts and visitors at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival, taking place from September 9th to 14th, 2025.

The star of the show will be the brand-new Lancia Aprea 42, unveiled in a World Premiere. Alongside her, the celebrated Lancia Aprea 52—finalist at the European Powerboat of the Year 2024—returns in the captivating new “Blu Ieranto” livery, featuring interiors renewed with refined fabrics by Loro Piana.

Lancia Aprea 42: Tradition, Evolution, and Identity

The new Lancia Aprea 42 is born in the heart of Sorrento, a land of master shipwrights and timeless sunsets. The Lancia Aprea range, the natural evolution of the iconic Gozzo Sorrentino, expands further with the 42: a completely new model, not just a smaller version of the 52, but a yacht with a strong and independent identity, designed to meet new and different needs.

Developed in close collaboration with Victory Design and Brunello Acampora, this yacht embraces the philosophy of Total Design: style, ergonomics, comfort, and safety are considered from the very first design stages, ensuring maximum consistency and quality. The “Wide” hull of the Lancia 42 guarantees a cruising experience that is comfortable, stable, and above all, safe and seaworthy.

The exterior is distinguished by elegant, flowing, and modern lines; the interior, offered in the refined Family version, provides remarkable livability, with special ergonomic care and the innovative “Comfort Corner”—an indoor bar and coffee area designed to give guests moments of relaxation without the need to move to the main deck.

The deck further evolves the Aprea philosophy, with a redesigned bow that maximizes conviviality and onboard relaxation. Every detail, from exterior upholstery to interior finishes, is carefully selected from premium materials and marine-specific fabrics, with an exclusive selection by Loro Piana.

Aurora Gold: The Golden Reflection of Dawn over the Sea of Capri

For the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, the first Lancia 42 will debut in the extraordinary special edition “Aurora Gold.”

Inspired by the golden reflection of sunrise over the sea of Capri, this livery interprets contemporary elegance with discretion and refinement. The warm, luminous gold hull is paired with unmistakable mirror-polished mahogany, enhanced by no fewer than sixteen coats of hand-applied varnish—a distinctive hallmark of Cantieri Aprea excellence. The stern, redesigned in the style that made the Lancia 52 famous, adds even more charm and personality.

Cantieri Aprea looks forward to welcoming you at:
