Between Sea and Glamour: The Cannes Yachting Festival Experience
The French Riviera plays host to the Cannes Yachting Festival, Europe’s most important in-water boat show. This event not only kicks off the annual yachting season—it has also established itself as the key meeting point for owners, shipyards, brokers, and sea lovers from around the world.
With over 700 yachts on display and more than 50,000 international visitors, the festival is a showcase of luxury, technology, and innovation.
At Camino al Mare, we proudly attend the Cannes Yachting Festival every year and invite our clients to join us in this extraordinary experience—this year from September 9 to 14. Our clients enjoy direct access to the latest launches from the brands we represent, including Galeon Yachts, which will unveil the new Galeon 620 Fly, already being called one of the most innovative yachts of the decade; and Sirena Yachts, debuting the new Sirena 60, expected to set a new benchmark in its size category.
