Cannes - Vieux Port & Port Canto

9 – 14 Sept. 2025
Cannes – Vieux Port & Port Canto

Cannes Yachting Festival

Europe's top in-water boat show and the world's no.1 show for large sailing boats.

CREATION OF A MARINA FOR MOTOR BOATS ≤12M

In 2024, the Cannes Yachting Festival will present a new sector dedicated to new motor boats until 12-13 metres long, which is located in Port Canto, between the Sailing and Yacht Brokerage & Toys areas. 

This new marina is an ambitious project because the area is very large and the content very rich: it covers more than 2,000 m² and provides more than 300 linear metres of quay, making it possible to accommodate 170 boats, including 140 in water and around thirty on land, with rigid or semi-rigid hulls. In addition to the boats, a selection of outboard engines will be presented on land along the entrance to this area. Don't miss this opportunity to see the latest in the new 8- to 12 metre motor boats category, largely starting next September.

AN EXCEPTIONAL TRADE SHOW AT THE HEART OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA

Every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival hosts an eclectic offer of nearly 700 boats, from 5 to 50 metres, presented ashore for less than 10 metres and on-water beyond 10 metres. 

These boats are sailing or motor, monohull or multihull, rigid or semi-rigid hull.

Meet the biggest actors in the boating industry and their latest innovations in unparalleled visiting conditions!

IDEAL PLACES FOR DISCOVERY

Located on the two ports of Cannes, the Vieux Port and the Port Canto, the Cannes Yachting Festival welcomes you in an exceptional environment, from one end to the other of the famous Croisette.

THE TWO PORTS

VIEUX PORT

Among the harbours on the French Riviera, the Vieux Port enjoys a privileged place in the heart of the city of Cannes, at the foot of the Suquet. 

Since 2019, it is 100% dedicated to the motor boat industry. Construction sites, equipment manufacturers and service companies are here to present their latest innovations.

PORT CANTO

East of the Croisette, the Port Canto is the setting of the Sailing Area, the Yacht Brokerage sector and water toys.
