Cannes Yachting Festival

The Cannes Yachting Festival is taking over the Vieux Port, Port Canto and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès for its 49th edition. As the first major event of the global yachting season, the show will bring together more than 680 exhibitors and 700 boats ranging from 5 to 50 metres in length, with nearly 150 world premieres and some 56,000 international visitors expected. Cannes’ layout allows visitors to explore two complementary worlds. The Vieux Port in particular brings together motorboats, superyachts, large dayboats, equipment suppliers and providers of nautical services. At Port Canto, the sailing area will feature 120 new sailing yachts over 10 metres in length, whilst the Power Boat Marina will showcase 180 dayboats and the Yacht Brokerage section will bring together more than 45 yachts over 25 metres. This year’s event also places an emphasis on innovation and the transformation of the sector. The Innovation Route will showcase solutions selected for their innovative nature and their contribution to a more sustainable future for the yachting industry. The Innovation Route Awards will recognise innovations relating to navigation, sustainable products, boats and CSR initiatives.
