Since 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has welcomed the world’s most prestigious boatbuilders and shipyards to present their latest models to potential clients who arrive from all corners of the world.
In September 2019, Naval Yachts showcased models of their GN 60 and XPM 78 at their booth on the quay in the Vieux Port, one of the oldest harbours on the French Riviera.
Boating enthusiasts drawn by the appeal of these rugged, semi-custom, all-aluminum yachts had the opportunity to speak directly to the owners of the shipyard and design studio, Baris and Dincer Dinc.
Also there to offer his first-hand experience was the Canadian owner of XPM-78 hull #1, Wayne Hodgins. He shared with Cannes Yachting Festival clients his experience of over 50,000 miles of bluewater sailing, and he has chosen Naval Yachts to build his dream yacht. “If what you are looking for is bluewater expeditions exploring the most remote locations of the world in exceptional safety and comfort, you’ve come to the right place.”
