Come September 6 and Europe’s leading boating event begins in the South of France. From September 6 to 11, more than 50,000 visitors will descend on Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto for the splendid Cannes Yachting Festival, where nearly 600 boats will be displayed both in water and on land, including around one hundred world premieres. The shipyards offer trips out to sea so that new buyers can have sea-trials on the finest yachts in the world and make an informed choice. The Vieux Port will be the home of many special exhibitions including the Palais des Festival. This space will include the latest water toys and tenders alongside the beach, as well as many banks, interior designers, architects and shipyards. This year’s festival will see the introduction of La Terrasse, a special area for the luxury industry stakeholders that will include automobiles, watches, jewellery, private aviation, prestigious property, gastronomy, tableware, couture houses, leather and saddles, furniture & design, art & photography, hotel, high-tech products, perfume & beauty, premium services as well as luxury yachts.
