Welcome to the Cannes Yachting Festival. From 8 to 13 September 2026, large yachts will once again be on display in the Mediterranean around the two harbours. We’ll be showcasing the new releases and ‘familiar favourites’ from popular brands. Part two.

​In the Vieux Port – the old harbour – you’ll find superyachts, flybridge models and open boats, amongst others. The largest vessels moor at Quai Max Laubeuf – or lie at anchor offshore. The new jetée is due to be completed this year, where engine manufacturers will be exhibiting. At Port Canto – accessible on foot, by bus or via a tender shuttle – the 2.5-kilometre circular route now flows completely seamlessly. ​This route takes visitors through the Power Boat Marina, which accommodates vessels up to 13 metres in length. Visitors will also come across the ‘Toys Zone’ and the jetties of the yacht brokers. Their selection is particularly extensive this year, with more than 45 yachts over 25 metres in length.

Sanlorenzo’s “SHE” at the Cannes Yachting Festival

What’s afloat among the major exhibits in the Vieux Port: ​The Next Yacht Group has brought the Maiora M30, whilst Sanlorenzo is showcasing its new retro classic “SHE” as well as two Bluegames (BG64 and BGX83). Numarine is presenting the first 27 XP, whilst Sirena is showcasing the brand-new 118 and Princess Yachts’ recently launched X90. Sunseeker has nine models on display at the jetty, including the 82 Ocean Enclosed and, for the first time, the Manhattan 94.

Uske was born just outside Volkswagen in 1970 and tested various small boats with sails through her boyfriend (now husband 😊) on a quarry pond. Her studies in Kiel took her to the Baltic Sea with boats of all kinds and eventually to a regatta from Hong Kong to Mauritius via the Academic Sailing Club. Her teacher training ended at the Burda School of Journalism in Munich instead of in the classroom and finally at Boote Exclusiv. After a long break and various stories about house building, she returned to Delius Klasing and has been filling the magazine with long stories about large ships ever since. A family-owned H-boat was quickly sold again as the mother realized that sailing with two small children was neither relaxing nor fun.
