Cannes Yachting Festival apartment rental D-173

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.

 

The Cannes Yachting Festival is structured around two emblematic harbours, ensuring a clear and practical layout:

• Vieux Port, in the heart of the city: here you discover motor yachts, day boats, and superyachts. You also explore exclusive areas such as the Tender Area, where luxury tenders meet high-performance boats, and the Toys Area, dedicated to innovative water toys (jetboards, seabobs, electric equipment).

• Port Canto, at the opposite end of the Croisette: here you immerse yourself in the world of sailing and large catamarans. The Sailing Area showcases prestigious sailboats, while the Power Catamaran Village highlights motor catamarans, a rapidly growing segment.

Thanks to this complementary organisation, you can easily move between worlds, either on foot or by sea shuttle, making the most of every moment of your visit. Your apartment rental with Cannes Accommodation places you ideally between these two strategic locations, ensuring you enjoy the very best of yachting without wasting time.
