The French city of Cannes is known for hosting some of the wealthiest and posh public at numerous international and local events. This September will see Cannes hosting the International Yacht and Boat show – the bay will be filled with the most expensive and technologically advanced yachts and boats from across the world. The show is scheduled for September 10-15.

The organizers expect to see around 630 vessels at the show this year, 250 of which will have their debut. In any case, the total number of applications suggests the above number of vessels. Ship owners, designers, engineers and ship building companies will come to Cannes in order to show off their products or other achievements. Judging by the number and class of participants, shipyards, that bring their products to the expo, can safely put the event into the "World Top 3" category.

The yachts represented at the show will be available for test rides in the open sea (upon owner agreement), and for tours of the interior cabin section.

The show will take place in the Old Port of Cannes – Pierre Canto, located along the Cannes highway.

The price of the entry ticket is 15 Euros (price includes: visit to the expo, transfer between the ports, where the show will be held.) Children under the age of 12 will be granted free entrance.
