Cannes Yachting Festival – September 11-16, 2018

Since 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival takes place every September in elegant, luxurious surroundings by the sparkling bay of Cannes. This year’s 41st edition of the show takes place in September 11-16, 2018. The Festival offers visitors and exhibitors a choice setting: in the bay of Cannes, just a stone’s throw from the old town and next to the Palais des Festivals. The Show stretches out over two harbours, Canto and Vieux Port.

Vieux Port, one of the oldest harbours on the French Riviera, welcomes prestigious exhibits presented by the world’s largest shipyards. Port Canto is devoted to large second-hand yachts. Brokers and charter companies offer a selection of around fifty 22 m to 65 m yachts.

Whether it’s the number of boats in all categories or the number of sailing boats, the Cannes Yachting Festival confirms its position as Europe’s largest in-water boat show. From the Vieux Port to Port Pierre Canto, from one end to the other of the famous Croisette, the best of the international offering of motor, sailing, monohull or multihull meets in Cannes every September!
