Held across the two iconic ports of Cannes – Vieux Port and Port Canto – the festival features an eclectic mix of over 700 yachts, some of which are up to 50 meters in length. Vieux Port will primarily host motor yachts, while Port Canto will focus on sailing yachts, the brokerage area for pre-owned boats over 22 metres, and the tenders & toys exhibit.
The event’s schedule includes extended hours on Friday, with late openings until 10 PM, providing ample time for visitors to explore and enjoy the festival. Additionally, the festival offers a variety of social activities and opportunities to experience the exquisite lifestyle of the French Riviera. From the annual Concours d’Elegance parade of vintage boats to exclusive shopping opportunities and vibrant nightlife, there is something for everyone.
For those looking to extend their stay, the surrounding areas of Cannes offer delightful experiences. Consider exploring vibrant towns like Antibes and Saint-Tropez, dining in world-class restaurants, and experiencing the lively local culture. Whether you are interested in water sports, relaxing on the deck of a luxury yacht, or exploring the Mediterranean charm, the Cannes Yachting Festival provides the perfect backdrop.
