Calendar of international boat shows

Fall 2022

The resumption of boat shows a year ago was disrupted by a complicated winter period... but the dynamics witnessed at these events showed that virtual visits have undoubtedly reached their limits. Of course it is possible to sell a multihull costing several hundred thousand dollars by video via a smartphone... but passionate sailors will always prefer to discover a new multihull in real life, to meet the people and discuss with them in person. And that’s a good thing: autumn in the northern hemisphere is traditionally the time when the new yachts begin being presented in the water. The multihull industry is of course playing the game and is mainly investing in the Cannes Yachting Festival early September to preview to the public what they’ve got in store for 2023…

Cannes Yachting Festival
Two ports for the most glamorous of the boat shows

With 500 exhibitors and 600 boats, the Cannes Yachting Festival confirms its status as Europe’s leading in-water boat show. The marine professionals taking part in this highly anticipated event - almost all the major players in the French and international boating industry - will be spread out across Cannes’ two ports using the same model that was successfully implemented in 2019 and 2021, namely motorboats at Le Vieux Port (the Old Port) and sailboats in the “Espace Voile”, located at Port Canto, on the other side of the famous Croisette boulevard. It is in this part of the port that we’ll see some fifty sailing catamarans and trimarans gather, and also where you’ll find the Multihulls World booth. We’ll be ready and waiting to see you!

When: from Tuesday 6th to Sunday 11th September 2022
