Cannes Yachting Festival

Discover the Cannes Yachting Festival

The Cannes Yachting Festival is one of Europe’s premier boating events and the first of the season. Become immersed in luxury as you explore Palais des Festivals. Then head over to Port Canto for some majestic sailing action. Along with stops at other boat shows and festivals, the Cannes Yachting Festival is a summer Mediterranean destination to remember. The Genoa Boat Show, one Italy’s top-rated boat shows, promotes water sports at luxury along the French Riviera. More than a trade show, the Cannes Yachting Festival is luxury yachting at its finest.

The French Riviera awaits you at The Cannes Yachting Festival. The 6-day event welcomes yachting enthusiasts from around the world. For those 6 days in September, Cannes, France hosts yachting’s elite. The Cannes Yachting Festival takes place in two harbours with the bay of Cannes between them.  One port is Le Vieux Port, one of the most historic shipyards in the world. Second is Port Canto, an ideal harbour for viewing what these luxury yachts look like as they sail or motor through the water. Be sure to stay until the last day. Of note is the Festival’s Concours d ’Elegance, a boat parade where participants show their yachts to sightseers.
