From September 10th to 15th, the Cannes Yachting Festival, the most important boat show in Europe, returns. This year, 600 exhibitors are expected, more than 700 boats, divided equally between the two harbours, and hundreds of pieces of equipment. As part of the 47th edition of the show, more than 140 boats will be presented as world premieres. For six days, Cannes and its famous Croisette will become the world capital of boating, bringing together the biggest names in the industry in the heart of the French Riviera.
The Vieux Port will host 350 ocean-going boats, monohulls, multihulls, rigid or semi-rigid hulls from 12 to 50 meters, as well as a number of equipment manufacturers and service companies. Among the many boats, 80 exceptional yachts over 22 meters will be showcased on the pier and in the Super Yachts Extension. The Palais des Festivals will host a selection of top brands specializing in yachting and its sector (equipment, fittings, nautical institutions, marinas and ports, etc.), reflecting the richness and diversity of what the Cannes Yachting Festival has to offer.
This year at Port Canto, a new space will be dedicated to powerboats up to 12-13 meters: the Power Boat Marina. This 2,900-square-meter area will host 170 boats on the water and on land, as well as a selection of outboard motors. Thanks to ferries, it will be possible to make a complete tour of Port Canto and admire the 125 yachts over 10 meters in length in the Sailing Space, and then finish the visit in the Yacht Brokerage & Toys area, where 50 used boats over 25 meters in length and a large selection of nautical toys will be on display.
