Each year, Cannes transforms into the beating heart of the international yachting community, drawing owners, designers, shipyards and prospective buyers to the sunlit waters of the Vieux Port and Port Canto. This year’s edition promises a dynamic showcase of world premieres, bespoke craftsmanship and the unmistakable energy that comes from seeing hundreds of the finest yachts gathered in one of the world’s most glamorous settings.

Whether arriving in pursuit of the latest in motor yacht innovation or to explore the growing world of luxury sailing craft, the festival offers unparalleled access to the latest achievements in naval design and marine lifestyle.

Cannes is not just a boat show; it is a celebration of artistry, ambition and the enduring appeal of the open sea. For six days, the waterfront becomes a curated theatre of elegance and engineering, where relationships are forged, launches unveiled and the next chapter in the world of yachting begins to unfold.
