Cannes Yachting Festival 2026

Europe’s largest in-water show opens the new-model year: 680 exhibitors, 710 boats from 5 to 55 metres and around 150 world premieres across the Vieux Port and Port Canto.

Europe’s largest in-water show and the world’s leading event for large sailing yachts, the Cannes Yachting Festival brings together some 680 exhibitors and 710 boats from 5 to 55 metres, drawing around 56,600 visitors across the Vieux Port and Port Canto.

For 2026 — the festival’s 49th edition — around 150 new models are expected to make their world debut. The Vieux Port is given over entirely to motor yachts, while Port Canto hosts more than 100 sailing yachts — the world’s largest in-water display of new sail — alongside the brokerage, dayboat and water-toy sectors.

An hour along the coast from Monaco, Cannes is where the new-model year begins. Richard is available for viewings and meetings throughout the festival: contact him ahead of the show to plan a schedule.
