Every September the whole industry lands in Cannes to unveil the year&#8217;s new models, and most of the fleet sits <strong>in the water, ready to board<\/strong>, rather than parked in a hall. That is what makes it special: you walk the pontoons and step straight onto the boats.<\/p>\n<p>Around <strong>700 boats<\/strong> spread across two marinas, from <strong>5-metre tenders to 50-metre superyachts<\/strong>, with roughly <strong>56,000 visitors<\/strong> over six days. It is a professional trade show, but it is wide open to the public too, and it turns the whole Bay of Cannes into a floating showroom you can admire from land or, far better, from the sea.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"dates\">2026 dates, hours &amp; venues<\/h2>\n<p>The 2026 edition runs <strong>Tuesday 8 to Sunday 13 September<\/strong>. Doors open at <strong>10:00 am<\/strong> every day, with one <strong>late Friday night until 10:00 pm<\/strong>, the best evening to visit if you want the lit-up-marina atmosphere.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bs-tablewrap\">\n<table class=\"bs-lineup\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Date<\/th>\n<th>Opening hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>8 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 7:00 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>9 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 7:00 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>10 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 7:00 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"hot\">\n<td><span class=\"star\">\u2605<\/span>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 10:00 pm (late night)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>12 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 7:00 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>13 September<\/td>\n<td>10:00 am &ndash; 6:00 pm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"bs-note\"><span class=\"star\" style=\"color:#e6a700\">\u2605<\/span> Friday runs late until 10pm; weekends are the busiest, so go early or midweek for room to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>The show is split across <strong>two marinas, a free shuttle boat apart<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"bs-spots\">\n<div class=\"bs-spot\"><span class=\"num\">1<\/span><\/p>\n<div><b>Vieux Port<\/b>: the historic heart of the show, packed with motor yachts and the big new-model debuts. <a class=\"bs-map\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/?api=1&#038;query=Vieux%20Port%2C%20Cannes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udccd Open in Maps<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bs-spot\"><span class=\"num\">2<\/span><\/p>\n<div><b>Port Canto<\/b>: on the far side of La Croisette, home to <strong>sailing yachts<\/strong> and the brokerage and charter fleet (pre-owned boats for sale and to charter). <a class=\"bs-map\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/?api=1&#038;query=Port%20Canto%2C%20Cannes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\ud83d\udccd Open in Maps<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bs-spot\"><span class=\"num\">3<\/span><\/p>\n<div><b>Free shuttle boats<\/b> run non-stop between the two ports all day, included with any valid ticket.

During festival week the whole Bay of Cannes fills with anchored yachts, and the <strong>view from the sea beats any pontoon<\/strong>. From your own boat you glide past the superyachts moored off La Croisette, drop anchor for a swim away from the crowds, and watch the marina light up at sunset, no queues, no shuttle, no 56,000 people between you and the water.<\/p>\n<p>A private boat with a skipper is also the calmest way to move around a very busy Cannes that week. Whether it&#8217;s a <strong>sunset cruise with drinks for two<\/strong> or a full day out with a group, we sort the boat, the skipper and the timing so you just step aboard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nicepartylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/cannes-yachting-festival-from-the-water.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Bay of Cannes and anchored yachts from a private boat at sunset\" class=\"bs-hero-img\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"bs-pl\" id=\"npl-boat-estimator\" data-context=\"Cannes Yachting Festival week\">\n<h3>\u26f5 Your private boat, priced<\/h3>\n<p class=\"sub\">Pick your group and how long you want on the water.
