What began as a regional boat show has grown, over nearly five decades, into Europe's leading in-water boat show and the world's number one event for large sailing yachts, drawing manufacturers who use the week to stage genuine world premieres rather than simply display existing stock.<\/p>\n<p>The show is organised by RX, a major international events company, on behalf of the F&eacute;d&eacute;ration des Industries Nautiques (FIN) \u2014 France's national federation of nautical industries and the event's owner. That ownership structure is part of why the festival has stayed an industry-first show even as it has become a major public draw: exhibitor interests, not just visitor footfall, still set the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Growth since 1977 has been steady rather than sudden: the show added Port Canto as a second venue as the sailing-yacht and brokerage sectors outgrew Vieux Port alone, then rededicated Vieux Port itself to motor boats in 2019 once power yachts and power catamarans had grown large enough to need a dedicated site of their own. That 2019 split is the single most useful historical fact for a power catamaran buyer reading this Cannes Yachting Festival guide: it tells you which harbour to walk first.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%;max-height:480px;width:auto;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-photo-34712723-1024x671.jpeg\" alt=\"Cannes yachting festival guide \u2014 luxury yachts in a French Riviera harbour\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<figcaption>Nearly five decades on, the show still fills two harbours for one week every September.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-96c7697 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"96c7697\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f23abbb\" data-id=\"f23abbb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a8dfe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5a8dfe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"exhibitors\">The exhibitors and what's on display<\/h2>\n<p>Recent editions have run to roughly 680 exhibitors and 710 boats and yachts, ranging from 5 to 55 metres, with sailboats and motorboats, monohulls and multihulls, and new and brokerage vessels all represented across the two sites. As any Cannes Yachting Festival guide worth reading will tell you, vessels under 10 metres are shown on land; everything larger floats, berthed for the week exactly as it would sit in a marina, which is what lets a serious buyer walk a shortlist of boats in a single afternoon rather than touring separate dealer showrooms across the coast.<\/p>\n<p>Power catamaran builders have become a fixture of the exhibitor list as the category has grown, and Revolution Power Catamarans exhibits the OceanWalker S60 on the water every year rather than showing renderings \u2014 see <a href=\"#s60\">where to find it<\/a> below.

Vieux Port, by the Suquet old town, has been dedicated since 2019 to motor boats, shipyards and equipment brands \u2014 this is where a power catamaran buyer will spend most of the week.

Afternoon breezes are common but rarely disruptive to the show itself, since both venues sit inside protected harbour water rather than open sea.<\/p>\n<p>The one genuine planning risk is the Mediterranean's occasional early-autumn thunderstorm, which can arrive with little warning in this region even in an otherwise dry week \u2014 worth checking the short-range forecast the morning of, especially if you plan to be on an open flybridge for viewings.<\/p>\n<p>A practical tip this Cannes Yachting Festival guide keeps repeating to first-timers: pack for both ends of the day: mornings and evenings on the water can feel noticeably cooler than the midday sun suggests, particularly on a flybridge with any breeze off the bay, so a light layer is worth having even on an otherwise warm September afternoon. Sun protection matters more than most visitors expect \u2014 a full day moving between pontoons in direct Riviera sun is longer exposure than most people are used to.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0fd7e84 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0fd7e84\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9fb627\" data-id=\"d9fb627\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5803f9d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5803f9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"travel\">Getting there and where to stay<\/h2>\n<p>The travel section of this Cannes Yachting Festival guide starts with the airport.

The train is a reliable alternative at around 35 minutes to Cannes station, and a private helicopter transfer \u2014 operators such as Blade run scheduled Nice&ndash;Cannes services \u2014 covers the same distance in around 7&ndash;10 minutes, which many exhibitors and buyers use to avoid show-week road traffic entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The accommodation half of this Cannes Yachting Festival guide starts with timing: rooms book up early for festival week. La Croisette is the obvious base \u2014 closest to Port Canto and the beachfront hotels \u2014 while Le Suquet, the old town above Vieux Port, offers a shorter walk to the motor-boat venue and generally better value. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannes-france.com\/en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cannes Tourism Office<\/a> maintains current listings across hotels, residences and guest houses if you're booking directly rather than through a broker; either way, reserve as early as possible once dates are confirmed, since the same week draws the Cannes hospitality industry's busiest nights of the year outside the Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Within Cannes itself, plan to walk or use the free inter-venue sea shuttle rather than drive between hotel and harbour \u2014 festival-week road traffic along the Croisette slows to a crawl by mid-morning, and parking near either venue is scarce and expensive for the duration. Several hotels along the Croisette run their own shuttle boats directly to Port Canto during the show; ask when booking, since it can save real time over a taxi.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width:100%;max-height:480px;width:auto;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pexels-photo-32486469-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Cannes yachting festival guide \u2014 French Riviera coastline near Cannes\" loading=\"lazy\">\n<figcaption>La Croisette or Le Suquet: pick your base by which venue you'll spend more time at.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ddccd90 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ddccd90\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56cfba2\" data-id=\"56cfba2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c496dd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"c496dd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc rpc-dark\">\n<h2 id=\"tickets\">Tickets and practical information<\/h2>\n<p>The practical-information section every Cannes Yachting Festival guide needs: 2026 opening hours are confirmed: 10am&ndash;7pm Tuesday 8th through Thursday 10th and Saturday 12th, 10am&ndash;10pm on Friday 11th, and 10am&ndash;6pm on the closing Sunday.
