Cannes Yachting Festival will take place from 8 to 13 September 2026 across Vieux Port and Port Canto in Cannes. The official practical-information page confirms daily opening hours of 10:00–19:00 from Tuesday through Thursday, a late Friday opening until 22:00, 10:00–19:00 on Saturday and 10:00–18:00 on Sunday.
Two harbours, one show
The Festival divides its programme between two landmark harbours on the Croisette. Vieux Port is dedicated to motor yachts and marine innovation, while Port Canto brings together the Sailing Area, Yacht Brokerage Area, Toys Area and Power Boat Marina. The organiser’s published show profile describes more than 700 boats and yachts between five and 55 metres, as well as more than 680 exhibitors.
Planning a September visit
The Festival’s official site lists Vieux Port entrances at the Palais des Festivals and Pantiero, with Port Canto entrances serving the Sailing Area/Powerboat Marina and the Brokers & Toys Area. Complimentary sea shuttles are scheduled to connect the two harbours from 10:00, with departures every 15 minutes.
