Cannes Yachting Festival is a boat show held in Cannes, at Vieux Port de Cannes & Port Canto, from 8 – 13 September 2026. The first show of the boating season, the Cannes Yachting Festival is Europe's largest in-water boat show. For six days, the Vieux Port and Port Canto host the best of world yachting. HB Drivers, a private chauffeur company based in Nice, handles transfers from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the railway stations and the hotels of the French Riviera to Cannes from €110, as well as hourly chauffeur hire for the whole duration of the event — essential on the busiest days, when parking is saturated and access is restricted.

L'événement en bref

Over 700 boats from 5 to 55 metres, ashore and afloat
680 international exhibitors
56,600 trade visitors and enthusiasts
Two sites: Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto
Late opening on Friday until 10pm

Every September, Cannes opens the European boating season with a show like no other: sailing yachts and motor yachts, monohulls and multihulls, new and pre-owned — the world's leading shipyards unveil their latest models here as world premieres, presented afloat in the Bay of Cannes.

The show spans two sites linked by sea shuttles: the Vieux Port, at the foot of the Palais des Festivals, gathers the motor yachts and larger vessels, while Port Canto hosts the sailing area and water toys. Opening hours: 10am–7pm (Friday until 10pm, Sunday until 6pm).
