CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2023
REVEALED …
As has been the case every year for over 45 years , the Europe ’ s largest in-water show will be the first major international event of the season . Over 6 days , from 12 to 17 September , under the sunshine of the French Riviera , more than 650 boats of all sizes ( from five to fifty metres ) as well as the latest nautical equipment , numerous innovations and world previews will be unveiled for nearly 55,000 expected visitors : professionals , curious on-lookers , keen boaters or experienced enthusiasts . A major new feature of the 2023 event is the creation of an area afloat in the Vieux Port , which will accommodate smaller boats , from 8 meters upwards , in response to demand from numerous exhibitors .
“ Thanks to the renewed confidence of our exhibitors , this 2023 edition is looking very
good with similar forecasts to the previous year , i . e . 600 exhibitors , more than 650 boats and 140 previews ,” explains Sylvie Ernoult , Director of the Yachting Festival , before adding “ This new edition will highlight the small units with the creation of a brand new area , a marina in the heart of the Vieux Port , which will accommodate more than fifty small motor boats from 8 to 12 metres . As the show ’ s DNA is to offer the most eclectic offer possible , it seemed natural to us to host in the best way its small units , traditionally displayed ashore on the Quai Max Laubeuf , i . e . in a dedicated floating area .
