This year, the French Riviera continues to assert its status as a leading destination for luxury yachting enthusiasts. From Cannes to Saint-Tropez, via Monaco, this iconic Mediterranean region attracts an international clientele in search of exceptional nautical experiences. The clear, serene waters offer ideal sailing conditions, while the prestigious ports host a series of exclusive events throughout the year.
Three nautical events stand out: the Monaco Yacht Show, the Cannes Yachting Festival and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. Each of these annual events plays a central role in the Mediterranean luxury yachting ecosystem, attracting industry professionals, investors and sailing enthusiasts from around the world.
MONACO - The Epicenter of Luxury Yachting
From September 25 to 28, 2024, the Monaco Yacht Show celebrates its 34th anniversary. Recognized as the world's most prestigious boat show, it will exhibit an impressive fleet of over 120 superyachts, including several world premieres. In 2024, particular attention will be paid to sustainable innovations, with a pavilion dedicated to eco-friendly technologies and hybrid yachts. This year's show will also feature conferences on the future of yachting in the face of environmental challenges, a crucial theme for the industry. Port Hercule will thus become the focal point for the yachting elite, offering an exceptional showcase for the latest trends in marine design and technology.
CANNES - Nautical Elegance in the heart of the Mediterranean
From September 10 to 15, 2024, the Cannes Yachting Festival, Europe's largest in-water boat show, marks its 47th edition. Spread between the Vieux Port and the Port Canto, the show will bring together over 650 boats, including motor yachts, sailboats and catamarans. This year, an even larger area will be dedicated to electric and hybrid boats, reflecting the move towards more sustainable yachting. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 will also feature demonstrations at sea, allowing visitors to experience new sensations aboard the latest yacht models. With exclusive conferences and networking events, this event remains a must for industry players and luxury enthusiasts alike.
SAINT-TROPEZ - The Perfect Fusion of Tradition and Modernity
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, scheduled from September 28 to October 6, 2024, will celebrate the 26th edition of this legendary event. In 2024, over 300 sailboats, from classic yachts to modern models, will gather in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez for spectacular regattas. New this year is the introduction of the “Ecological Class”, reserved for yachts using green technologies. In parallel with the competitions, the quays of Saint-Tropez will come alive with exhibitions, exclusive evening events and meetings between sailing enthusiasts. This event, a veritable fusion of tradition and innovation, is a vibrant tribute to the maritime history and Tropezian art of living
