The 41st edition of the luxurious boat show – the Cannes Yachting Festival – will be held from 11 to 16 September 2018. Whether you are a full-time sailor or an admirer of prestigious yachts and lavish lifestyle, you want to be a part of this exceptional experience.
Just last year, the Festival attracted around 50,000 visitors, 600 showcased new worldwide model of boats, and more than 500 exhibitors. The boats are displayed in two harbors connected via boat transfer – Port Canto and Vieux Port, both located nearby the old town of Cannes. Port Canto is purposed for large second-hand yachts that you can explore, while Vieux Port is dedicated for impressive yacht exhibits.
