The Cannes Yachting Festival has been held every September since 1977 in the sparkling Bay of Cannes. The Cannes Yachting Festival is the first boat show in the sailing season and Europe’s biggest in-water event.

This year, professionals and enthusiasts can see almost 700 boats that the most prestigious French and international boat builders have just put the finishing touches to. The most beautiful gems in motor and sailing technology, the latest nautical equipment, the most high-end services and the brand-new marina dedicated to power boats up to 13 metres long will be unveiled for visitors’ enjoyment.

2024 will see the launch of a new area entirely dedicated to new motor yachts with 140 boats on water from 8 to 30-metres on land up to 8-metres. It is a major first for the Cannes Yachting Festival to present boats of this size in water.

Within the Palais des Festivals the lifestyle products, destinations, marinas and high-end brands specialising in leisure boating and its environment will be on display.
