CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2024

The Festival will open on Tuesday 10 September at 10 am for 6 exceptional days. The most beautiful gems in motor and sailing technology, the latest nautical equipment, the most high-end services and the brand-new marina dedicated to power boats up to 13 metres long will be unveiled for visitors’ greatest enjoyment.

Festival Director Sylvie Ernoult said: “As has been the case every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival gets the season underway by unveiling an extremely eclectic offer. We will be proud to welcome nearly 700 boats including 120 world premiers and 640 exhibitors . Our visitors will be able to see the crème de la crème of the marine industry, with the most famous boat builders and equipment manufacturers, as well as newcomers to the industry, who all come to present their designs.

The boat show will be organised between the Vieux Port and Port Canto with 355 new 12- to 45-metre motor boats in water with rigid or semi-rigid mono- or multihulls plus all the equipment manufacturers and service companies related to this industry on one side, and the sailing world on the other side in Port Canto, with 120  new monohull and multihull boats averaging 16 metres long, the brokerage sector with forty-five previously-owned boats from 25 metres long, and the water toys/toys area and the new Power Boat Marina, which will accommodate 175 boats under 13 metres.

As boat builders and equipment manufacturers are slowly but surely setting a course towards ecology and devoting a significant part of their budget to research and development, the increasing amount of eco-efficient innovations in the industry that respect the environment are promoted through the “Innovation Route” route, marked out by special signage for visitors to follow.
