Cannes Yachting Festival 12-17 September 2023
On the occasion of its 46th edition, from 12 to 17 September 2023, the Festival de la Plaisance in Cannes changes its name and becomes Cannes Yachting Festival, while retaining its original DNA and its undisputed place among international nautical events. Sylvie Ernoult, General Commissioner, explains this change as a “will, on the part of owners and organizers, to express the increasingly international positioning of the Festival, a great gathering of professionals and nautical enthusiasts”.
The event will take place in three symbolic places of the Riviera French, located from one side of the Croisette to the other; the “Vieux Port”, the “Port Pierre Canto”, and the “Palais des Festivals”. Among the docks and piers, visitors from all over the world will be able to discover the best of the international offer regarding the carryover boats in a magical atmosphere.
More than 500 boats from major international shipyards will be exhibited at the Vieux Port. The quality of the Festival is highlighted in the water, with a mixed exhibition of motor and sailing boats, between 10 and 50 meters and, on land, with the presence of numerous exhibitors dedicated to services and special equipment and increasingly sophisticated to be used on board.
The Port Pierre Canto will instead be the scene of sumptuous shows, thanks to the most influential international brokers who will drop anchor on the most luxurious yachts thus offering an enchanting panorama in terms of excellence. And again, at the Palais des Festivals, the most famous brands in the world will offer the news in terms of design and interior design; “The Art de Vivre” on board, in fact, is constantly evolving, to meet the needs of the owners.
