About This Experience
The Cannes Yachting Festival transforms the Bay of Cannes into a world-class exhibition of maritime luxury, showcasing over 700 boats from 5 to 50 metres, including sailing and motor boats, monohulls and multihulls, with vessels of 500GT and below presented across the show and boats under 10 metres displayed on land, alongside the latest superyacht debuts. Port Canto is dedicated to sailing, brokerage, and charters. Vieux Port has been dedicated to the motor boat industry since 2019 and focuses on new motorboats and luxury lifestyle brands. The atmosphere is one of high-end business mixed with pure Riviera social glamour.
Access options include VIP passes for the show, private vessel viewings with dedicated staff, and exclusive entry to exhibitors' events and private soirées along the Croisette. Sea trials give qualified buyers the chance to step on board a yacht and test it at sea before moving forward.
Our tailored concierge services manage luxury villa or hotel accommodations, private vehicle transfers, and priority reservations at the finest regional dining establishments. This experience is ideally suited for those seeking a luxurious and productive showcase of the yachting world's newest and most impressive creations. A further highlight is the Concours d’Élégance, a parade of vintage and contemporary yachts, alongside the festival’s emphasis on electric and sustainable marine technologies recognised through the Innovation Route Awards, with dedicated zones such as the Power Cat Village and Luxury Gallery.
