Two Ports, One Show

The Cannes Yachting Festival occupies the Vieux Port for motor yachts and Port Canto for sailing boats and larger vessels. Held in September, it traditionally opens the boat show season, ahead of Monaco and Genoa.

Following on with Monaco

The Monaco Yacht Show follows shortly after, in late September. Many of our clients combine both shows within the same fortnight. We coordinate transfers between Cannes and the Principality, by car or helicopter depending on traffic.

Sea Trials

Sea trials take place in the bay, often in short time slots. A tender at your disposal lets you reach several vessels in the same day without relying on the show's shuttles.

Where to Stay

September remains a busy period on the Croisette. Villas in Super-Cannes and Mougins offer more space and quick access to both ports.

Our concierges' advice. If you're combining Cannes and Monaco, plan a fixed base between the two rather than two separate hotels. It's more comfortable and easier to organise.
