Cannes Yachting Festival 2025

The Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 takes place from 9-14 September, showcasing a stunning selection of almost 700 boats, from 5 to 50 metres; as well as the latest innovations in the boating industry.

The iconic event, which was first held in 1977, has established itself as Europe’s largest in-water boat show and is the world’s number one show for large sailing boats, according to the official website.

The Festival is held at both ports:

• Vieux Port, one of the oldest on the Côte d’Azur, is in the heart of the city, beside the Palais, and hosts more of the superyachts.
• Port Canto is on the other side of the Croisette, near Palm Beach, and features more of the sailing yachts.

The Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 attracted almost 55,000 visitors and more than 650 exhibitors.

The Festival organisers invite you to “discover a magnificent showcase of aesthetic dayboats, extravagant yachts, sleek sailboats, and cutting-edge multihulls that define modern seafaring elegance. Alongside the boats, an impressive array of equipment is displayed, catering to every need and desire within the yachting world. Join us for an extraordinary showcase of style, sustainability, and sophistication, and let the magic of the Cannes Yachting Festival inspire your dreams.”
