The Cannes Yachting Festival has been held every September since 1977 in the sparkling Bay of Cannes. It is the first boat show in the sailing season and Europe’s biggest in-water event. It brings together those involved in leisure boating; presenting their new products for the first time. There are typically over 600 boats on show from over 500 exhibitors, across 10km of berths in the two ports of Cannes; port Canto and the Vieux-Port.
