Since 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival has filled the waters of Cannes each September. As the first show in the boating season, the Yachting Festival is Europe’s leading in-water boating event with a significant charter yacht presence alongside the impressive new yachts making their debut. Here's our pick of the charter yachts that Radek Gendek from Luxury Charter Group will be inspecting there.
This year’s Cannes 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. So far, 529 in-water boats of over 10 metres are confirmed, including 119 sailing boats and 410 motor yachts, representing French and international boat brands of all sizes and styles.
The larger yachts and superyachts will occupy the end of the quay known as The Super Yachts Extension for vessels from 25 to 55 metres, both motor and sailing yachts. The Luxury Gallery, situated at the heart of the Palais, will be even larger this year and will remain the space dedicated to craftsmanship and coveted elegance of the world’s most exclusive brands.
Luxury Charter Group will attend this incredible showcase of the yachting lifestyle, and plan to inspect the following charter vessels, among many others. We welcome your enquiries and contact to meet up and visit the charter yachts that interest you for your next vacation.
