Cannes Yachting Festival 2024

The Cannes Yachting Festival will launch the autumn season of yacht shows and events in the Cote d’Azur. Taking place across both Port Canto and the Vieux Port, the festival will showcase 700 vessels of various sizes, along with exhibits from over 600 exhibitors. 
 
This year's event will run from September 10th to 15th, offering visitors, sales teams, crew, and yacht owners a full six days of exposure and activities. Approximately 700 boats, including sailing yachts, motorboats, monohulls, multihulls, and rigid to semi-rigid vessels, are expected to participate, with the largest reaching 50 meters in length.

The festival is strategically divided into sectors: the Vieux Port in the city center is dedicated exclusively to the motorboat industry, while Port Canto will mainly feature sailing vessels. A new 2,000m² marina at Port Canto will accommodate smaller motor yachts and boats ranging from eight to 12 meters, available for sea trials. 
 
The Cannes Yachting Festival regularly attracts around 55,000 visitors each year and remains popular with the general public, even those not directly connected to the industry.
