Cannes Yachting Festival 2016 returns to the French Riviera from 6–11 September 2016, once again confirming its status as the largest in-water boat show in Europe. Set across the iconic Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto in Cannes, the Festival transforms the harbour into a showcase of innovation, craftsmanship and luxury on the water.

Each year, Cannes Yachting Festival attracts a truly international audience from the pleasure boating and luxury yachting sectors. Exhibitors present the latest motor yachts, sailing yachts and cutting-edge marine technology, while visitors include current and prospective yacht owners, brokers, designers, shipyards, equipment manufacturers and global media representatives.

The Festival offers a unique opportunity to step aboard newly launched models, meet leading industry figures and discover emerging trends shaping the future of yachting. From sleek day cruisers to impressive superyachts, Cannes Yachting Festival 2016 promises one of the most diverse line-ups yet.

As the opening event of the autumn boat show season, Cannes sets the tone for the international calendar. Following the Festival, many industry professionals will travel to the Southampton Boat Show in the UK, remain in Cannes for the elegant Régates Royales in the Bay of Cannes, or prepare for the Genoa Boat Show and the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show later in September.

If you are attending Cannes Yachting Festival 2016, now is the time to explore what promises to be the biggest and most impressive edition to date. With prime waterfront locations, world-class exhibitors and the glamour of the Côte d’Azur as its backdrop, this is an unmissable event for anyone involved in luxury yachting.
