In 2019, the Sailing boats are heading for Port Canto, Cannes, France.
An unmissable event for stakeholders and enthusiasts of French and international yachting, the Yachting Festival will take place from 10 to 15 September, extending from one end of the Croisette to the other and throughout Vieux Port and Port Canto.
The year 2019 marks an evolution for the Yachting Festival, which will now revolve around Cannes’ two ports: the Vieux Port will continue to welcome the ultimate in motor boats while Port Canto will become the new showcase for the most beautiful sailing boats.
The 42nd edition of the Yachting Festival will take place from 10 to 15 September 2019 and will be organised around thetwo ports in the bay Cannes, expanding Port Canto and hosting three main activity sectors: SAILING SPACE, BROKERAGE SPACE, and TOYS SPACE.
“From September, we’ll take up the entire bay of Cannes which will become the world capital for sailing and motor boats. Our in-water capacity will be increased, compared to 2018, by almost 30% for sailing boats and almost 10% for motor boats. Taking up, more or less, all of Port Canto, which I should point out is located on the other side of the bay of Cannes
just 8 minutes by sea from the Vieux Port, sailing boats that have been present at the Yachting Festival since its creation will now have more exhibition space, both on land andin-water, ensuring incomparable visibility,” explained Sylvie Ernoult, Director of the Yachting Festival.

BROKERAGE SPACE
As was the case in the previous years, the Brokerage Space is located on the large starboard dyke (on the right) when we arrive at Port Canto by sea. For nearly 15 years this space has hosted the leading French and international players in the second-hand luxury yachts market and presents some fifty motor boats and sailing boats of at least 22 metres long. Available to buy immediately, these second-hand luxury yachts are also sometimes available to lease.
TOYS SPACE
Since 2018 the “Toys” space is installed in Port Canto opposite the second-hand luxury yachts, taking advantage of wide spaces of this dyke to exhibit on-land an increasingly large selection of sport, fun and nautical activities equipment. A growing sector, “Toys”, for the young and the not so young, have become must-have equipment on yachts and are great fun and thrilling for those who use them! On show in 2019 will be an extensive collection of jet boards, long boards, jet skis and many other things too.
