Taking place from September 11th-16th, the Cannes Yachting Festival is expecting once again to welcome more than 50,000 visitors from across the world to view and trial 600 boats on show.
The Cannes Yachting Festival has been the first to take place in the international yachting calendar since 1977 and therefore leads the season with the highest number of new model launches and innovative designs.
More than 100 boats will make their world premiere at the show positioned at each end of the famous Croisette.
Recognised as one of the most important international boating events and Europe’s largest in-water show, the Cannes Yachting Festival is known for its eclecticism and the wealth of vessels presented in a range of sizes.
With over 100 sailing boats it retains its position as the largest gathering in Europe.
Following the successful launch of the ‘Luxury Gallery,’ situated within the Palais des Festivals, the Cannes Yachting Festival will once again showcase luxury brands outside of yachting.
This will include watches, jewellery, fine sprits, fashion and accessories, design, art, high-tech products and services.
On the other side of the Croisette, only seven minutes by sea from the Vieux Port, Port Pierre Canto will once again welcome the second-hand yachts from 22-65 meters in the brokerage area.
It will also welcome, for the first time, the entire toys area of the show relocated there to get more space and present more products.
Luxury car brand Maserati has reconfirmed its presence as Official Partner of the Cannes Yachting Festival this year.
All VIP and Riviera card holders will enjoy a courtesy car service from Nice Airport to the Festival, brought to them by the prestigious ‘House of Trident’.
At the heart of the Cannes Yachting Festival, in the Maserati lounge, all visitors can explore the latest Maserati models on show.
