Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 apartment rental

Every September, Cannes transforms into the international stage for high-end boating.

Stretching between the Vieux Port and Port Canto, along the iconic Croisette, the Cannes Yachting Festival stands as the world’s ultimate showcase for exceptional yachting. This unique event gathers the finest yachts, sailing boats, and catamarans, unveils the industry’s latest innovations, and offers both enthusiasts and professionals an unrivalled immersion into the world of luxury yachting.

An exceptional offering: More than 700 boats are exhibited, including 150 world premieres.
On display, both in-water and on land, are boats ranging from 5 to 50 meters. Among them, 150 models (motor and sailing) are presented to the public and professionals for the very first time by shipyards—ranging from previews to groundbreaking concepts, such as hybrid or electric yachts.

Concrete and striking examples from the 2025 edition

• AnchorGuardian (Switzerland): ultra-precise anchor detection system for safer navigation.

• SEA.AI Watchkeeper (USA): artificial intelligence paired with enhanced night vision to prevent collisions.

• BlueNav BlueSpin Outboard 15 kW (France): hybrid engine with “Virtual Anchor” functionality.

“We are particularly proud to see the growing importance of major innovations… the 40 products, services, or equipment selected … demonstrate the industry’s deep commitment to more eco-friendly yachting while constantly focused on providing a better sailing experience.” — Sylvie Ernoult, Festival Director
