YACHTS & YACHTING 29
Installed since 2021 , opposite the Pantiero and the Quai Saint-Pierre , around fifty semi-rigid 10 to 20 metre boats will be on show in the middle of the water body ; there is also an area showcasing some fifteen electric and hybrid boats .
Next to this , on the same body of water , is the brand-new marina reserved for small motor boats from 8 m . Pontoons positioned at the end of the quays will allow you to take a tour of it so you don ’ t miss any boats !
GREEN ROUTE :
A « GREENWAY » FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER OF THE CROISETTE
Because ecological transition is essential , the Yachting Festival has created a « Green Route »
for showcasing environmentally-friendly solutions developed and exhibited at the trade fair by the exhibitors to reduce the nautical industry ’ s environmental impact on the sea and marine ecosystems and thereby to raise awareness among visitors . Changes in demand and , above all , the importance of the arrival of these environmentally-friendly solutions in the yachting industry has led to us placing more emphasis this year on this « Green Route » and , above all , to improving its visibility so that all visitors can benefit from it .
On land the shipyards are set up along the Pantiero quays . Occupying more than 4,600 m2 in the central aisle , the nautical accessory and Equipment Village is well-known for the wide variety and international flavour of its content . In this aisle , you ’ ll find the ultimate in electronics , fittings , paints , etc . It ’ s the place to find the essential accessories to maintain your boat , maintain a good level of on-board technology , and thus futureproof your investment .
The Palais des Festivals is home to a large area dedicated to high-end yachting players : shipyards , architects and designers , interior fittings , ready-to-wear clothing , accessories , tourism institutions and marinas , service companies ( financing , banks , insurance , etc .) and outside , along the large central aisle just after the main entrance to the show , is the Tender area , which houses these elegant small units used by the large moored yachts to reach land and which due to their compact size testify to the size of their yacht located offshore .
The Luxury Gallery , located in the heart of the Palais , is dedicated to luxury , craftsmanship and the art of living and each year brings together an exclusive selection of famous and more select brands presenting their new products and expertise to visitors who appreciate objects of beauty .
