The Cannes Yachting Festival is Europe’s largest in-water boat show. Around 700 boats are on display, ranging from 5 to 50 metres, from luxury motor yachts to cutting-edge catamarans and high-end sailing yachts, some worth nearly €1 million. Dozens of brokers—luxury sales professionals—will be on site. Last year, the event generated nearly €5 billion in business.
For flagship players in the French nautical industry such as Amel, Fountaine Pajot, and Catana, this is an essential meeting point. It is where new models are unveiled, sea trials take place, and exclusive launches are presented.
A deep dive into the dream world of floating palaces.
