From September 9 to 14, 2025, Cannes will once again transform
into the world capital of yachting as it welcomes the 48th edition of
the Cannes Yachting Festival.
With more than 710 boats expected, including nearly 150 world
premieres, and 670 exhibitors confirmed, the event cements its
reputation as Europe’s largest in-water boat show.
Preparations
are in full swing between the Vieux Port and Port Canto, where pontoons
and exhibition spaces are rapidly taking shape. “We can’t wait to
welcome back exhibitors and visitors. The setup is progressing perfectly
thanks to the invaluable support of our partners and service
providers,” says Sylvie Ernoult, Show Director, adding: “As every year,
the Cannes Yachting Festival opens the season by showcasing an
exceptional lineup.”
The 2025 edition maintains the sectorized layout introduced in recent
years, ensuring an optimized visitor experience. The Vieux Port will
host around 360 new motorboats, ranging from 12 to 45 meters, alongside
the Power Cat Village, the Tenders and Motorists areas, and the
Equipment Village. Over at Port Canto, visitors will find 125 brand-new
sailboats, the Power Boat Marina with 180 vessels under 13 meters, a
dedicated water toys zone, and a brokerage area showcasing 45 pre-owned
yachts from 25 to 55 meters.
Building on the success of 2024—which
drew over 55,000 visitors from 130 countries—the 2025 show underscores
the industry’s strong momentum. Once again, the “Innovation Route” will
spotlight eco-efficient solutions, with forty pioneering projects
selected by a jury of experts. Four standout innovations will receive
awards during the show’s opening, recognizing advancements in
sustainable technology, alternative energy, and the sailing experience.
Beyond
its dazzling fleet displays, the Cannes Yachting Festival remains a
major economic driver for the French Riviera and a global showcase of
Côte d’Azur expertise. Cannes itself was named “World’s Best Destination
for Festivals and Events” for the third consecutive year at the 2024
World Travel Awards, reaffirming its unrivaled ability to attract and
unite the world’s leading players in the nautical sector.
