Cannes Yachting Festival

The Cannes Yachting Festival opens the European boating season with yachts, sailing boats, equipment and marine services displayed around the city’s ports. Unlike many Cannes congresses, activity is spread between the Vieux Port beside the Palais and Port Canto farther east along La Croisette.

Choosing a practical location

A central apartment near the Old Port is particularly convenient for Vieux Port displays, city-centre meetings and evening events. Visitors with appointments at Port Canto should allow for the journey along the Croisette and check the organiser’s transport arrangements once the next programme is published.

The next edition’s dates have not yet been confirmed on the official site, so this page currently shows TBA rather than estimating them. You can still send an enquiry with provisional dates; we will treat it as a request and confirm what is possible once your plans are clearer.

Visitor tips

• Check which port each exhibitor or boat is located in before setting out.
• Wear practical footwear for pontoons and a full day of walking.
• Plan for sun and heat even in September, while keeping a layer for the evening.
• Use the official event website for ticketing, opening hours and inter-port transport.
