The World Yachting Appointment
As the first show on the fall calendar, the Cannes Yachting Festival is known as “The World Yachting Appointment” as the industry’s biggest players descend on the French Riviera to display and view the hundreds of in-water boats and yachts on display. In addition to the two ports, this year will be the first to feature a small boat area showcasing boats and tenders from 25 – 35ft (8 – 11m).
In addition to the yachting festivities, Cannes is the perfect jumping off point to discover this gem of the Mediterranean. From luxury art, jewelry and homes to the Palais des Festivals and a distinguished VIP Program, the Cannes Yachting Festival will have something for everyone over its six-day program.
