Why the Cannes Yacht Show Marks the Start of the Yachting Season
A French Riviera Tradition
The Cannes Yachting Festival is widely regarded as the grand opening of the international yachting calendar. Held each September on the French Riviera, it brings together the world’s most admired shipyards, yacht brokers, designers, and prospective owners for six days of premieres, previews, and high-profile networking. For decades, this legendary yacht show has set the tone for the upcoming season, attracting an elite audience and showcasing the finest vessels on the water.
From its beginnings as a regional boat fair to its current role as one of the globe’s top superyacht exhibitions, the Cannes yacht show has evolved in both scale and prestige. Today, it is a symbol of luxury and innovation, combining the glamour of Cannes with the momentum of a global industry. For anyone with an interest in luxury super yachts for sale, it’s not just a date in the diary; it’s a must-attend event.
Vieux Port to Port Canto – A Dual-Site Experience
The festival unfolds across two spectacular sites: the historic Vieux Port, home to the newest motor yachts and sailing yachts, and Port Canto, which hosts the dedicated Brokerage and Toys & Tender areas. This dual-site format allows for a complete exploration of the yachting lifestyle, from first launches to prestigious resale listings.
SuperYachtsMonaco is proud to exhibit in the Brokerage Area at Port Canto, an exclusive section reserved for the industry’s leading brokers. Here, serious buyers can discover a curated selection of Monaco yachts, backed by expert insight and one-to-one guidance. It’s this blend of setting, scale, and selectivity that makes the Cannes Yachting Festival a cornerstone of the superyacht season.
