Finnmaster Boats, one of the leading and rapidly expanding boat manufacturers in Finland and the Nordic countries, will attend the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, where two models from its signature Grandezza cabin cruiser line will make their world debut. The Grandezza 37 Outboard and Grandezza 30 Outboard will be among the most anticipated boats on display at Port Canto, alongside Finnmaster Pilot 8.
Finnmaster Boats will be a key exhibitor at Europe's largest boat show, taking place from 9 to 14 September 2025. Customers, visitors, dealers, and international press will have the opportunity to explore three of the brand's 100% Finnish-made boats: the Grandezza 37 Outboard and Grandezza 30 Outboard - both presented in a world premiere - and the Finnmaster Pilot 8.
The Nordic shipyard, part of the multi-industry group Terra Patris, is a family company rooted in Ostrobothnia, a region renowned for its boat building tradition where Finnmaster manufactures fiberglass and aluminum boats, continuing the Finnish boatbuilding tradition of craftsmanship passed down through generations. After establishing a strong presence in its domestic market, the company began expanding internationally in 2023, entering new markets with the appointment of over 10 new dealers to represent its three brands - Grandezza, Finnmaster, and Husky - across Europe, Turkey, the Middle East and Asia.
The Grandezza 37 Outboard is an 11.55-meter premium cabin cruiser with a beam of 3.50 meters, featuring a modern design that offers unparalleled comfort and style. With two cabins, a spacious saloon, and flexible indoor-outdoor living areas, it's well-suited for both day trips and longer stays. Powered by twin 400hp V10 Mercury Verados and designed with a responsive hull, it can handle a range of sea conditions confidently. Features like a sliding rear seating, powered sunroof, dynamic concertina doors, and a wet bar enhance usability, making it a versatile choice for relaxed cruising and entertaining.
The second world premiere, the Grandezza 30 Outboard, is a 9.35-meter cabin cruiser with a beam of nearly 3 meters, designed for both weekend escapes and extended coastal cruising. It accommodates up to 10 people and features two cabins with four berths. Large windows, a foredeck sunbed, and a spacious lounge area create a bright and comfortable atmosphere, while the twin 250hp V8 Mercury Verados provide adaptive and confident performance.
Alongside the two premieres, Finnmaster will exhibit the Pilot 8, an award-winning versatile 8.4 meter cabin boat designed for both leisure and utility. With sleeping space for up to six, a sheltered aft deck, and a fully equipped wheelhouse with a galley and dinette, the Pilot 8 is suited for weekend trips, fishing, or commuting in any weather thanks to its hull design and CE Class B certified.
All three boats on display in Cannes are powered by Mercury engines, following a recent partnership between Finnmaster and Mercury Marine. As a result, Finnmaster's outboard-powered models are now available to its global dealer network and boat owners with optional Mercury's premium L4, V6, V8, V10, and V12 outboard engines, along with advanced pre-rigging systems.
This collaboration also introduces smart innovations, such as AI-driven adaptive speed control that uses real-time data to optimize throttle response for smoother handling in varying conditions. In line with its continuous improvement philosophy, Finnmaster works closely with all its partners to incorporate practical, sustainability-focused features across its range, such as solar panels on enclosed cabin models, heat recapture systems, and reduced noise emissions.
