Cannes Yachting Festival 2024: Europe’s Largest In Water Boat Show

The Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 is set in the heart of the French Riviera and officially marks the start of the boat-show season. Since its inception in 1977, it has grown to become one of Europe’s top in-water boat shows and the largest large sailing boat exhibition in the world.

Spanning six days from the 10-15th of September 2024, the Cannes Boat Show — located on the two ports of Cannes, the Vieux Port and the Port Canto — is set to welcome in excess of 55,000 attendees and exhibit nearly 700 boats including motor yachts, sailing boats, monohulls, multihulls, toys, superyachts, and much more.

Edmiston’s team of brokers will be at the port, offering our clients a chance to exhibit their yachts for sale and for prospective buyers to view the extensive fleet of yachts on offer while being part of the Edmiston VIP experience.

What’s on at Cannes Yacht Week

Across the two ports, the Cannes boat show 2024 offers a number of exciting exhibitions servicing all aspects of the maritime industry — from sailing and motor yachts to toys and equipment manufacturers.
