Cannes, world capital of yachting in September
Every September, Cannes becomes the nerve centre of the nautical world. From 9 to 14 September 2025, the Cannes Yachting Festival will make its grand return between the Old Port and Port Canto. As Europe's largest in-water boat show, it attracts manufacturers, shipowners, professionals and enthusiasts every year to celebrate excellence and innovation in international yachting.
A historic and unmissable trade fair
Created in 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has established itself as the opening event of the nautical season. Each edition brings together more than 600 exhibitors and nearly 700 boats, ranging from elegant sailing boats to luxury yachts, as well as the most innovative tenders and day boats. What makes Cannes unique is its exceptional setting: the Old Port, the historic heart of the show, and Port Canto, dedicated in particular to tall ships and brokerage.
The 2025 edition: diversity and prestige await
For this new edition, the Cannes Yachting Festival once again highlights the richness and diversity of the international offering. From the biggest names in the industry to emerging shipyards, everyone takes advantage of the Cannes stage to present their global and European innovations.
A showcase for nautical expertise, the show appeals to enthusiasts and curious visitors alike, who come to discover the latest trends in design, technology and on-board comfort. Between professional meetings, sea trials and exhibitions of nautical accessories and services, the event offers a complete experience.
A constantly evolving showcase
Beyond luxury and prestige, the show also reflects developments in the nautical industry: technological innovations, new expectations among boaters, and the rise of more environmentally friendly solutions. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 is thus establishing itself as an essential barometer of the international market, where the future of boating is taking shape.
Cannes, the temporary capital of yachting
A place for meetings, discoveries and global launches, the Cannes Yachting Festival is much more than a trade show: it is a celebration of the nautical lifestyle. Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Croisette, it continues to charm visitors with its unique setting and elegant atmosphere, confirming its reputation as a major event for the global maritime industry.
