Cannes Yachting Festival: The most important sailing novelties in Cannes
YACHT
· 12.09.2023
The Cannes Yachting Festival has become the leading in-water boat show in Europe. The leading trade fair takes place for six days in mid-September on the Côte d'Azur, and once again the organisers can already report record numbers in the run-up to the event: More than 700 boats from five to 50 metres in length are expected, presented by over 600 international exhibitors. The sailing yachts and catamarans will be moored in Port Canto on the east side of the bay. Motorboats and superyachts, on the other hand, are accommodated in the city harbour of Cannes, the Vieux Port. Shuttle buses and water taxis operate between the two harbours.
For an entrance fee of 31 euros, there is an unrivalled concentration of world premieres to see and, above all, to test. Many shipyards organise test drives with their new products before the start of the fair and in the evening hours to convince potential customers and the trade press directly on site. The perfect Mediterranean climate at the beginning of September and a varied culinary offering along the harbour and the famous La Croisette promenade and shopping mile round off the overall package.
"There are simply many good reasons to visit this show," says YACHT editor-in-chief Martin Hager enthusiastically. "Of the numerous shows I have visited so far, the Cannes Yachting Festival is by far my favourite."
As in previous years, numerous interesting innovations will be on display among the sailing boats at Port Canto, including many world premieres. We present the most important ones in the gallery above!
