The Countdown to Cannes Has Begun
ال Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 is approaching, with the international yachting community preparing to return to the French Riviera from 8 to 13 September 2026.
Held across two of Cannes’ iconic harbours, Vieux Port and Port Canto, the festival is set to bring together yacht builders, boat manufacturers, brokers, marine equipment companies and boating enthusiasts from around the world.
For yacht buyers and industry professionals, Cannes remains one of the key events on the international yachting calendar.
More Than 700 Boats and Yachts
The Cannes Yachting Festival describes itself as Europe’s leading in-water boat show, bringing together more than 700 boats and yachts ranging from approximately 5 to 55 metres.
The event provides visitors with the opportunity to step aboard new models, discover the latest developments in yacht design and, for selected vessels, experience them through sea trials.
The festival attracts a wide range of vessels, from luxury motor yachts and sailing yachts to dayboats, brokerage yachts and innovative new boats.
Two Harbours, Two Different Experiences
Vieux Port will remain the heart of the festival’s motor-yacht and marine-innovation activities.
Located in the centre of Cannes, Vieux Port will host leading shipyards, yacht builders and marine brands presenting new launches, world premieres and next-generation vessels.
Meanwhile, Port Canto will focus on sailing yachts, brokerage yachts, smaller powerboats and the latest water toys.
This division allows visitors to explore different areas of the boating industry while moving between two of the most famous harbours on the French Riviera.
Innovation Takes Centre Stage
One of the highlights of the 2026 festival is the Innovation Route, dedicated to technologies and products shaping the future of boating.
The initiative will showcase selected innovations in areas including navigation technology, sustainable products and innovative vessels.
The festival will also present Innovation Route Awards recognising outstanding solutions in several categories, including navigation equipment, sustainable products and innovative vessels.
A Major Event for Yacht Buyers
For potential yacht buyers, Cannes offers the opportunity to compare a large number of vessels and meet directly with manufacturers, brokers and marine professionals.
The festival’s combination of new yachts, brokerage boats, marine technology and luxury lifestyle makes it particularly attractive to buyers looking for their next vessel.
For buyers from the Gulf region, the show also provides an opportunity to explore European and international yacht brands in one location.
Brokerage Yachts at Port Canto
Port Canto will once again feature a dedicated Yacht Brokerage Area, bringing together pre-owned yachts and brokerage specialists.
This section is particularly relevant to buyers looking for alternatives to purchasing a brand-new yacht, with the opportunity to inspect different vessels and speak directly with brokerage professionals.
