PREMIERING: 2027 AZIMUT MAGELLANO 27 METRI
Making its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new 2027 Azimut Magellano 27 Metri (27M) brings an explorer’s spirit to Italian luxury yachting – an appealing combination for owners in Quebec and Ontario who see summer cruising as a journey rather than simply a weekend escape. Its Dual Mode semi-planing hull, twin MAN engines, and 10,500-liter fuel capacity underpin a design focused on extended cruising, making it a compelling prospect for exploring the St. Lawrence or planning longer holidays on the Great Lakes.
Inside, Michele De Lucchi and AMDL CIRCLE have approached the main deck as a light-filled waterfront living space, combining expansive glazing with warm wood finishes and architectural details inspired by Mediterranean terraces. For Canadian owners, that emphasis on the interior is particularly attractive: full-height windows would keep the passing shoreline part of the experience while providing a welcoming retreat during a rainy afternoon or cool evening aboard. Five guest cabins accommodate 10 overnight, complemented by separate accommodations for three crew, a layout well suited to multigenerational holidays, visiting friends, and the practical demands of spending several weeks afloat. For Marine360 clients considering a larger yacht in Canada, the Magellano 27M offers an enticing proposition: the space to settle into life aboard, the privacy to travel comfortably together, and a cruising philosophy that encourages owners to enjoy every mile.
PREMIERING: 2027 GALEON 800 FLY
Making its European premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new Galeon 800 FLY offers an enticing combination of generous living spaces, contemporary styling, and cruising comfort for yacht owners in Quebec and Ontario. Four guest cabins with private bathrooms and separate crew accommodations provide a practical foundation for extended stays aboard, whether the itinerary includes exploring the St. Lawrence or enjoying a summer holiday on Lake Ontario. The full-beam owner’s suite adds a welcome sense of privacy, while the expansive flybridge, cockpit, and forward lounge create distinct spaces for gathering with friends or finding a quiet moment overlooking the water.
A hydraulic swim platform also simplifies tender access, a useful feature for afternoons spent at anchor in the Thousand Islands. For Canadian cruising, however, the appeal extends beyond outdoor entertaining: the spacious salon, panoramic windows, and interior dining area offer an inviting retreat when a sunny afternoon gives way to a cool evening, keeping the surrounding scenery part of the experience. For Marine360 clients considering a larger yacht, the Galeon 800 FLY presents a compelling vision of summer on the water: room to welcome family and friends, comfortable accommodations for longer journeys, and the flexibility to enjoy life aboard both indoors and out.
PREMIERING: 2027 AZIMUT 70 FLY
Making its world debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new Azimut Fly 70 combines striking Italian design with the space and versatility that make a compelling summer cruising yacht for Quebec and Ontario. Its four guest cabins accommodate eight overnight, including an inviting midship owner’s suite – a configuration well suited to families planning extended holidays rather than simply afternoons on the water. Picture leisurely cruising along the St. Lawrence, weekends exploring the Thousand Islands, or entertaining friends on Lake Ontario: the spacious flybridge, shaded by a hardtop, and cockpit dining table for eight would provide welcoming settings for enjoying those experiences together.
Inside, the panoramic salon and separate dining area offer a comfortable retreat when an evening turns cool, without sacrificing the connection to the scenery outside. Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 propulsion delivers a manufacturer-stated top speed of up to 31 knots, adding performance to the yacht’s generous accommodations. For Marine360 clients in Quebec and Ontario, the Fly 70’s appeal lies in that balance: open-air living for making the most of summer, inviting interiors for time aboard, and room to bring family and friends along for the journey.
PREMIERING: 2027 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 66
Making its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new Absolute Navetta 66 pairs Italian styling with an emphasis on space, privacy, and comfortable life aboard, a compelling combination for cruising enthusiasts in Quebec and Ontario. Its panoramic salon and interior dining area would provide an inviting retreat during a rainy afternoon on the St. Lawrence or a cool evening on Lake Ontario, keeping the surrounding scenery in view without requiring everyone to remain outdoors. When the sunshine returns, the expansive flybridge – with its lounge, dining area, and wet bar – and sheltered terrace cockpit would make welcoming settings for entertaining or enjoying a leisurely afternoon at anchor in the Thousand Islands.
For longer summer holidays, the forward owner’s suite, generous storage, separate VIP cabin, and twin guest cabin offer a practical balance of togetherness and privacy. Among the yacht’s most distinctive features is a fourth cabin at water level, where a sofa converts electrically into a double bed, adding flexibility for overnight visitors and direct access to the bathing platform. For Marine360 clients considering a new yacht in Canada, the Navetta 66’s appeal is easy to appreciate: welcoming spaces for family and friends, room to settle in for extended stays, and plenty of ways to enjoy the water throughout a summer aboard.

Below deck, a forward owner’s suite, spacious midship VIP cabin, and third guest cabin with twin beds that convert electrically into a double offer the privacy and flexibility that make extended holidays on Lake Ontario especially attractive for families and visiting friends. Practical storage and a configurable salon further support the transition from a weekend getaway to several weeks aboard. For Marine360 clients exploring new yachts for sale in Canada, the Navetta 58’s appeal goes beyond its striking appearance: it offers a compelling balance of open-air living, comfortable indoor gathering spaces, and overnight accommodations designed to make the most of a Canadian boating season.
PREMIERING: 2027 ABSOLUTE NAVETTA 50
Making its world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new 2027 Absolute Navetta 50 “Calypso” pairs contemporary Italian design with a clear focus on owner-operated cruising, an appealing combination for yacht buyers in Quebec and Ontario. Its light-filled salon, expansive windows, and conveniently positioned aft galley create a welcoming indoor gathering space, ideal for enjoying the scenery along the St. Lawrence or retreating inside when a Lake Ontario afternoon turns cool. When summer sunshine beckons, the step-free flybridge, complete with dining space, a bar, and barbecue, offers an inviting setting for lunch at anchor in the Thousand Islands, while the terrace cockpit’s modular furnishings allow owners to arrange the space for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
Below deck, a forward owner’s suite, spacious midship VIP cabin, and third guest cabin provide the accommodations that make longer family holidays especially appealing. Practical details also support hands-on ownership, including an interior helm with excellent visibility and direct side-deck access, a useful arrangement for moving between the controls and deck when arriving at a marina. For Marine360 clients considering a new yacht in Canada, the Navetta 50 presents a compelling balance: space to settle in, flexibility to welcome guests, and thoughtful features for owners who want to remain closely involved in every journey.
PREMIERING: 2027 AQUILA 35 SPORT
Making its world debut at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, the new 2027 Aquila 35 Sport brings a fresh mix of power-catamaran space, sporty styling, and weekend versatility to the conversation for yacht buyers in Quebec and Ontario. Measuring 35 feet 6 inches with a generous 14-foot-9-inch beam, it features inviting bow seating, a convertible aft lounge, and four forward-facing helm seats, an appealing arrangement for entertaining along the St. Lawrence or sharing a summer afternoon on Lake Ontario without leaving the captain out of the conversation.
Its clever, power-sliding cockpit seating also opens wider passageways for boarding and moving around the boat. Twin Mercury Verado outboards, offered with 300 or 400 horsepower per engine, supply the sporting character, while optional roof racks for paddleboards and kayaks would complement afternoons exploring sheltered anchorages in the Thousand Islands or Georgian Bay. Although primarily an open-air dayboat, the 35 Sport offers thoughtful comforts for Canadian cruising: a hardtop and windshield help shelter the helm, a private queen-berth cabin and bathroom with shower accommodate overnight escapes for two, and an optional lithium-battery-powered heating and air-conditioning package adds welcome flexibility when temperatures change. For Marine360 clients, the appeal is a boat that puts summer entertaining and watersports first, without requiring every outing to end with a return to the home dock.
