Bellini Astor 68 to make world premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026

Bellini Group has revealed the Astor 68, the latest model in the Bellini Yacht range, ahead of its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 8-13 September 2026.

Sebino Yachts said it will be following the launch closely and is inviting clients to register their interest before the event. According to the company, the first Astor 68 has already been sold before its official public debut.

Ahead of its in-person debut at Cannes, the Astor 68 is being introduced through an immersive digital presentation developed in collaboration with Argentine visual artist Andrés Reisinger, who is based between Madrid and Barcelona.

Bellini Group said the presentation builds an emotional and atmospheric narrative around the yacht, presenting it as both a physical object and an expression of life at sea, freedom and tranquillity.

Reisinger has exhibited at venues and institutions including the Moco Museum, Palazzo Strozzi, the Design Museum Gent, Nilufar, Faena Art, the MAK Museum of Applied Arts, Christie’s, the Vitra Design Museum and W1 Curates.

Bellini Group said the Astor 68 has been shaped around three guiding design principles: connection, flexibility and transparency.

A defining feature is a beach area of more than 37 square metres on the lower deck, positioned less than one metre above the waterline. According to the company, this arrangement is intended to reduce the gap between deck and sea, creating an open terraced space for closer interaction with the water.

One level above, the saloon and forward social areas are designed to maintain a strong visual and physical connection with the exterior, supporting the yacht’s sense of openness on board.

Bellini Yacht was founded in 2023 and is listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market. Its design language, developed alongside Brunello Acampora and Norberto Ferretti, is based on minimalist styling, rational use of space and onboard functionality.

The Astor 68 follows the Astor 36, launched in 2024, and the Astor 58, launched in 2025. Full technical specifications, pricing and availability information are due to be released ahead of the Cannes Yachting Festival.
