Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: Superyachts at anchor in the Bay of Cannes

By Anna Ingles and Katie Scott   2 September 2026

The Cannes Yachting Festival returns from 8–13 September 2026, bringing hundreds of yachts to Vieux Port and Port Canto, while an additional selection of superyachts will be positioned at anchor in the Bay of Cannes throughout the show.

From large sailing yachts and recently refitted motor yachts to contemporary Sanlorenzo and Maiora models, the at-anchor fleet for the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival provides a key opportunity for visitors and charter clients to view some of the yachts currently operating in the French Riviera.

Cannes Yachting Festival 2026

Taking place from 8 -13 September 2026, the Cannes Yachting Festival is one of Europe's major annual yacht shows and traditionally marks the beginning of the autumn boat-show season. The event is spread between Vieux Port and Port Canto, with hundreds of yachts, shipyards, brokers and marine exhibitors participating across the two venues.

While Vieux Port and Port Canto form the heart of the exhibition, a selection of luxury yacht charters will be anchored in the Bay of Cannes during the festival, creating an additional display of yachts beyond the main pontoons. Their position offshore also gives the Bay of Cannes a distinctly superyacht-focused atmosphere during the show.

Among the yachts scheduled to be at anchor in 2026 are THE LANGLEY, PARA BELLVM, VENI VIDI VICI and DADDY'S DREAM 888, spanning more than 60 meters down to under 30 meters.

THE LANGLEY

At 62.21m, charter yacht THE LANGLEY is the largest of the yachts currently scheduled to anchor in the Bay of Cannes during the 2026 festival. Built by Aegean Yacht in 2009, she underwent a significant update in 2025, giving the yacht a more contemporary proposition while retaining her substantial size and presence on the water.

Her at-anchor position will place her among the most prominent yachts visible from the Cannes waterfront throughout the event, offering visitors an opportunity to see a distinguished sailing yacht charter away from the more densely packed exhibition pontoons.

The Langley from €175,000 per week + expenses

PARA BELLVM

Built by Sanlorenzo in 2023, 47m superyacht charter PARA BELLVM brings a more recent addition to the at-anchor fleet. Onboard, she features a wealth of premium amenities, including a cinema room and a swimming pool.

With a great range of 5,400nm, she is more than ready to explore the West Mediterranean, with a good range of toys also waiting to be unleashed.

Para Bellum from €250,000 per week + expenses

VENI VIDI VICI

Luxury charter yacht VENI VIDI VICI combines generous outdoor spaces with amenities designed for a relaxed time on the water. Her layout is suited to alfresco living, with areas for sunbathing and socializing complemented by easy access to the sea.

Offering various toys and a tender for immersive itineraries during Mediterranean yacht charters, guests onboard have every indulgence at their fingertips with amenities including Wi-Fi connectivity, large sunpads, and seemingly endless opportunities to create lifelong memories.

Veni Vidi Vici from €120,000 per week + expenses

DADDY'S DREAM 888

Recently refitted in 2025, charter yacht DADDY'S DREAM 888 welcomes up to 10 charter guests in a four-cabin layout, with a Williams Tender for making the most of the French Riviera.

Boasting spacious exteriors, Wi-Fi connectivity, large sunpads, and plenty of dining and lounge options, she is a great match for family yacht charters looking to enjoy the sun and see the best of the Med simultaneously.
