Around 500 exhibitors and more than 550 boats and yachts have announced their attendance at the 43rd edition of the popular open-air fair, which - as in the year before last - will be spread across two harbours: Sailing yachts, multihulls and larger brokerage offerings will be presented in Port Canto on the eastern side of the bay, while motor yacht manufacturers will continue to gather in Vieux Port, the western harbour basin. Smooth commuting between the marinas, which are 2.5 kilometres apart, is guaranteed by water taxis that depart every 15 minutes.
