Three smaller Marex cruisers in one Cannes display
Marex confirmed a five-model presence at Cannes from 8 to 13 September 2026, covering a broad span of its family-cruiser range. The 310 Sun Cruiser, 330 Scandinavia and 360 Cabriolet Cruiser are the models most directly aligned with Leisure Boat Guide's focus on smaller leisure craft.
Showing those three boats together matters because they approach family cruising in different ways while remaining manageable alternatives to larger motor yachts. Visitors could compare a compact open-cockpit cruiser, an enclosed Scandinavian-style layout and a convertible cruiser without moving into the footprint of Marex's larger flagships.
The 310 Sun Cruiser receives useful 2026 updates
The 9.46-metre 310 Sun Cruiser has been refined for 2026 with a larger roof, redesigned cockpit details and an extended swim platform. Marex also offers up to 450 watts of solar capacity, giving owners another way to support hotel loads when spending time away from shore power.
Those changes are practical rather than simply decorative because the 310 is intended to serve as a compact family cruiser with genuine overnight ability. An extended stern area improves access to the water, while additional solar generation can reduce dependence on running engines or returning to a marina solely for charging.
A useful comparison for family-boat buyers
Boat shows are most valuable when similar models can be examined side by side rather than judged from isolated brochures and photographs. The Marex display allowed buyers to compare cockpit protection, circulation, seating, cabin access and sightlines across three boats aimed at broadly similar family-cruising use.
Prospective owners should still assess each boat against berth size, local cruising conditions and the number of people normally carried. A larger interior can be attractive, but additional beam, weight and systems also affect mooring choices, operating costs and how easily a boat can be handled by a couple.
Why the Cannes lineup matters after the show
The 2026 Cannes display is now over, but the lineup remains a useful snapshot of Marex's current smaller-cruiser offer. It shows how the builder is developing multiple interpretations of the same basic requirement: comfortable family boating with enough shelter and accommodation to extend beyond a simple day trip.
For Leisure Boat Guide readers, the important outcome is not the show itself but the ability to compare current production boats using official information. Sea trials and local dealer specifications remain essential, particularly because engine packages, optional equipment and final weights can materially change performance and ownership costs.
