Marcopolo Adventure Yachts will make its debut on the Côte d’Azur at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2026. The new brand from the Italian Aschenez Group – which also includes the Invictus and Capoforte brands – will be showcasing its two models MP12 and MP10 at Port Canto. Following its world premiere at boot Düsseldorf 2026, the yacht is now set to be unveiled to a French audience – and, above all, on the water. The yachts were designed by Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, with Rosario Alcaro overseeing project development. Production is being carried out by the Sicilian shipyard 3AF Shipyard in Villafranca Tirrena. Alcaro previously founded Invictus Yacht and Capoforte and is bringing this experience to the new brand. The concept reinterprets the ‘Adventure Yacht’ through a combination of design, construction and technological solutions.
A flexible spatial concept
The key feature of both models is their modularity. The MP12 and MP10 can be converted from an open-plan configuration to a cruiser layout. This versatility broadens the range of possible uses and extends the vehicle’s service life. The folding side walls increase the living space on both models. The system allows adaptation to different usage scenarios without compromising the basic design. The transformation takes place without complex modifications and remains reversible. Marcopolo positions this flexibility as a core feature of its brand philosophy, which views the sea as a space for freedom and exploration.
The MP12: Marcopolo Adventure Yachts’ flagship
At twelve metres in length, the MP12 is the larger model in the range. It offers generous communal areas and can be fitted with up to three outboard engines, each delivering 450 PS. The three-stage hull was developed using CFD analysis and is designed to deliver efficiency, stability and performance. The construction utilises the latest generation of composite materials, including recycled PET and carbon fibre laminate.
MP10 – An adventurer in a compact format
The MP10 translates the MP12’s design language into a format under ten metres. Despite its more compact dimensions, it offers generous living space on board. The modular layout and folding side walls are also featured here. The folding side panels significantly expand the usable space and create additional living areas on board. Engine options range up to 350 PS with an outboard motor. The two-stage hull delivers performance, efficiency and comfort in the smaller class. The MP10 is aimed at owners seeking the brand’s philosophy in a more manageable format.
