News and Events Highlights

As in previous years, the Cannes Yachting Festival will once again stretch across the two iconic harbours of the French Riviera—Vieux Port and Port Canto—delivering a panoramic showcase of the international boating industry. Building on its established sectorisation strategy, the 2025 edition is designed to optimise the visitor journey while spotlighting the distinct features of each category of vessel and related equipment.

Vieux Port: The World of Motor Yachts and Equipment

At Vieux Port, visitors will find an impressive fleet of around 360 new motor yachts ranging between 12 and 45 metres. The line-up includes monohulls, multihulls, and both rigid and semi-rigid hull designs.

This harbour also serves as the hub for equipment manufacturers and service companies, offering insights into the innovations that drive the sector forward. Dedicated zones add further depth to the visitor experience:

  • Tenders Area

  • Motoristes Area

  • Power Cat Village at Quai Max Laubeuf, showcasing 24 catamarans

  • Village des Équipements, occupying nearly the entire Pantiero

Port Canto: Sailing, Brokerage, and More

Across the bay at Port Canto, sailing takes centre stage. Here, visitors can explore 125 new sailing yachts, both monohulls and multihulls, with an average length of 17 metres.

The site also features:

  • Water Toys Area, highlighting the latest leisure innovations

  • Power Boat Marina, home to 180 boats under 13 metres

  • Brokerage Sector, presenting 45 pre-owned yachts from 25 to 55 metres

This careful organisation ensures clarity, efficiency, and a logical flow for visitors and exhibitors alike. Guests can navigate the entire Port Canto seamlessly, with each segment clearly defined.

A Festival of Excellence

By blending innovation with tradition, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 promises a comprehensive, engaging, and future-oriented celebration of the boating world—offering visitors an immersive journey from luxury yachts and sailing excellence to eco-efficient technologies shaping tomorrow’s seas.
