Cannes Yachting Festival 2027: hotels by Vieux Port

For five days every September, Cannes turns into the global capital of luxury yachting. The Cannes Yachting Festival floats an extraordinary fleet of over 700 vessels — from 5-metre dayboats to 55-metre superyachts — across two legendary harbours: Vieux Port and Port Canto. Vieux Port, tucked beneath the old Le Suquet quarter, focuses on motor yachts, marine innovation and cutting-edge equipment from the world's biggest shipyards. Port Canto, at the eastern tip of La Croisette, hosts the Sailing Area, the pre-owned superyacht brokerage space, the Toy Area and a powerboat marina for craft up to 13 metres. Expect world premières, exclusive sea trials on the Bay of Cannes and a dedicated VIP programme. The show welcomes both trade professionals and general-public boating enthusiasts.
