The Cannes Yachting Festival opens its gates today to welcome visitors from one end of the Croisette to the other.
For six days, in the Bay of Cannes, in the heart of the French Riviera, 711 boats ranging from 5 to 50 metres – monohull, multihull, rigid or semi-rigid hull design, sailing or motor type, new or pre-owned – are being showcased by more than 680 exhibitors, including leading international boat builders. More than 150 boatsthat have just left their workshops for the first time are being launched on the water to make their world debut at the prestigious Cannes Yachting Festival. Alongside these boats, the areas on land accommodate equipment suppliers, engine manufacturers, and service companies…
“Europe’s largest in-water boat show is opening today! My teams and I are immensely proud to conceive and build a show of this scale with more than 710 boats across the two ports. As always, our main objective is to satisfy our customers, serve the marine industry and put on the best event possible for our visitors. We are set on giving each boat, brand, piece of equipment, and innovation the best showcase. I hope that our visitors will find the boat or equipment of their dreams, and that the new products our exhibitors are presenting will receive the best welcome. Ihope you all enjoy a superb festival, and that these six days in Cannes will lead to fruitful discussions andtransactions,” adds Sylvie Ernoult, director of the Festival.
