With the 2014's Cannes Yachting Festival taking place from the 9–14 September, we take a look at some of the most enviable boats that'll be shown off around the French island next month.

Showcasing over 500 boats (95% of which can be tried and tested in the waters) with monster motors, mega thrusters and extra-large swimming pools, we wouldn't mind spending the rest of the summer (or the year) cruising around Europe in one of these.
