Known as one of the world’s premier showcases for luxury yachts and superyachts for sale, this year’s festival promises to be bigger and more impressive than ever before.
Since its inception in 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has grown into one of the most important events in the global yachting calendar. Located in the heart of the French Riviera, the festival is renowned for bringing together the most exquisite yachts for sale, ranging from small pleasure boats and yacht tenders to motor cruisers and superyachts up to 45m. Over the decades, the show has evolved, adapting to the ever-changing demands of the yacht market while maintaining its reputation for showcasing the finest in nautical craftsmanship.
The Cannes Yachting Festival is Europe's largest boat show for boats and yachts in the water and will attract over 600 exhibitors and feature more than 700 boats spread across the two locations of Vieux Port and Port Canto. The show’s split between these two iconic locations allows visitors to explore a vast array of yachts, from sleek motor yachts for sale and classic cruisers to the latest superyachts on the market. The event provides a unique opportunity for potential buyers to view and compare an extensive selection of yachts, all in one place.
For those in the market to buy a new yacht, the festival is an unrivaled opportunity to explore the latest offerings. Superyachts for sale are a major highlight, with many of the world’s top shipyards unveiling their newest and most advanced models. Show visitors are reminded that access to the luxury superyachts is on an appointment-only arrangement.
For yacht buyers looking at used boats for sale, Port Canto is the venue to head to. With around 400 linear meters of quayside for monohulls and 450 meters for multihulls, boat show visitors can also expect to see over 100 sailing yachts at this location.
The showground has been a hive of activity as the superyacht crew ready the yachts for sale, while boat builders, shipyards, and yacht brokers meticulously set up their stands and displays. Hospitality venues are also in full swing, preparing for the busy days ahead.
