Cannes Yachting Festival Cannes

The Cannes Yachting Festival, known as the Cannes Boat Show until 2014, has become a central hub for internationally renowned boat builders since its inception in 1977. Organised by RX France, this esteemed event showcases vast expertise in the trade fair and exhibition arena. An annual highlight on the yachting calendar, it unfurls every September in the scenic harbours of Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto in Cannes. Here, in this vibrant maritime backdrop, leading exhibitors from the boat and yacht industry display their creations both on water and ashore.

Visitors can delve into a myriad of new launches and explore the latest trends from the luxury yachting world. The festival centres around nautical luxury and cutting-edge innovation, offering a platform for the newest products and services in the yachting sphere. While most exhibitors hail from the boat and yacht manufacturing sector, representatives from related service providers and suppliers also make their mark. Predominantly, the festival draws in professionals from the maritime sector and wealthy yacht aficionados eager for the latest in technology and design. It's worth noting that Cannes isn't just celebrated for its iconic film festival but also as the venue for this grand Yachting Festival. The city melds glamour, history, and maritime allure seamlessly. Both locations, Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto, are conveniently situated, setting the perfect scene for this premier event. It offers a unique chance to immerse oneself in the crème de la crème of the yachting realm.

The Cannes Yachting Festival takes place annually, and therefore for the 43rd time previsibly in September 2025 in Cannes.
