Cannes Yachting Festival
September 8 - 13, 2026
Denison Yachting invites you to join us at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, the show that opens Europe's yachting season each September in the sparkling bay of Cannes. Now in its 49th edition and running September 8–13, 2026, the festival is Europe's leading in-water boat show, gathering more than 700 sailing and motor yachts from 5 to 50 metres across the two harbours of the Côte d'Azur. From the latest global launches to brokerage yachts and cutting-edge marine technology, it's a first look at the best the industry has to offer, set against the backdrop of the French Riviera.
Denison Yachting will be on-site throughout the show with a curated selection of yachts for sale and charter, and experienced brokers on hand to walk you through pricing, specifications, and availability. Whether you're buying, selling, chartering, or simply coming to admire the fleet, our team is ready to make the most of your visit. Reserve your spot below and we look forward to welcoming you to the docks in Cannes.

The festival unfolds across two harbours on the Boulevard de la Croisette — the Vieux Port, in the heart of the city at the foot of Le Suquet, and Port Canto a short way east. Both are within walking distance along the Croisette and linked by complimentary sea shuttles running roughly every 15 minutes.
