An exhibition revisited between the Old Port and Port Canto
The two-year renovation and modernization plan for the Old Port, which began in 2024, has had a major impact on the layout of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. The organization has had to adapt certain spaces on land and afloat in the Old Port, and create new ones in the Port Canto. The works will affect the southern part of the Albert Edouard jetty, located on the north-western side of the harbour entrance, the careening area and the Max Laubeuf parking lot, located opposite, on the south-western side of the harbour entrance.
A new marina for 8 to 12 m powerboats at Port Canto
This year's event will therefore be held in Port Canto, which will host the megayacht area - the Mega Yachts Area - with 1,500 m2 of space on land for shipyard and engine manufacturer stands, and afloat, some fifteen 30-50 m units. The latter will be located at the end of the Jetée du Phare, on the west side of the harbor entrance.
Port Canto will also play host to the Small Boat Area "With boats from 8 m to 12 m in length, displayed afloat on more than 300 linear meters. The 1,700 m2 marina will be home to the boats and brands usually exhibited ashore on Quai Max Laubeuf. Around 170 units - 150 afloat and around twenty ashore - rigid hulls and RIBs are announced. Nearby, a selection of outboard motors of all sizes will be on display.
The new marina will be located between the Sails and Brokerage & Toys areas, which have been housed at Port Canto for several years. Visitors will also be able to find equipment manufacturers and service companies in the port.
To make it easier to move around the port, a number of traverses will be installed to move from one quay to another, and smaller powerboats will be able to go out for sea trials. Visitors will now be able to make a complete loop around Port Canto and discover 340 boats: 120 new sailboats over 10 m, 175 powerboats and around 50 large pre-owned yachts.
An additional restaurant will be added, along with a reserved entrance for exhibitors and a revamped VIP Club.
10 to 20 m motorboats to discover in the Old Port
In the Old Port, although the land areas have been closed off, the Quai Max Laubeuf will continue to accommodate, afloat, motorboats from 10 to 20 m with rigid or semi-rigid hulls, and the twenty or so motor catamarans. The Jetty will accommodate large yachts from 22 m without land space, and the Super Yachts Extension will remain with its large units. The latter will be made accessible to visitors via a new visitor passageway along the jetty's construction zone and a slightly relocated walkway adapted to the new configuration. The Old Port will also bring together all the industry's equipment suppliers and service companies.
A maritime shuttle service to link ports
Maritime connections from one port to the other will be available to all visitors and exhibitors, with 3 embarkation points in the Vieux Port and 2 in Port Canto, departing every 15 minutes or so.
100% digital ticketing
