In just two weeks, the Vieux Port and Port Canto will once again welcome professionals and boating enthusiasts for the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, running 9–14 September. This year’s edition will feature more than 710 boats from leading French and international shipyards, including 150 world premieres, alongside 670 exhibitors.
Festival Director Sylvie Ernoult confirms preparations are well underway: “The build started on 11 August and is progressing well. As every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival opens the season with a remarkable offering, bringing together innovation, craftsmanship, and excellence.”
Vieux Port will host around 360 new motor yachts (12–45m), tenders, power cats, equipment, and service providers, while Port Canto will feature 125 sailing yachts, water toys, brokerage yachts up to 55m, and the Power Boat Marina with 180 boats under 13m.
The show also returns with its Innovation Route, spotlighting 40 eco-efficient projects and awarding top advances in sustainability, design, and technology on opening day.
