The Cannes Yachting Festival opens its doors on September 8th

The 49th edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival opens from 8 to 13 September 2026 on the pontoons of the Vieux Port and Port Canto. It is Europe’s largest in-water boat show since 1977, and this year it is presenting 150 world premieres in water, including Michele De Lucchi’s first maritime collaboration for Azimut, a superyacht more than 38 metres long designed by Fulvio De Simoni for Isa Yachts, and a 40 m² Croatian floating house fully powered by solar energy.

A total of 700 boats from 5 to 50 metres long, 680 international exhibitors and 56,000 visitors are expected for one of the most important events of the recreational boating season.

The CYR team will be present live at Europe's largest boat show to report on all the events.
