Every September, the Yachting Festival transforms the Vieux-Port of Cannes and Port Canto into a global showcase for yachting. Exhibitors, buyers, brokers and enthusiasts arrive in large numbers, often via Nice airport. Here is how to organise your transfers without losing time.

A show spread across two ports
The show is held mainly at the Vieux-Port, at the foot of the Palais des Festivals, and at Port Canto, at the other end of the Croisette. Visitors often move between the two during the day. With a chauffeur at your disposal, this happens without hunting for parking, which is scarce during the show.
From Nice airport to Cannes
Your chauffeur awaits you at the terminal exit, tracks your flight and drives you directly to your hotel or the show. Journey time depends heavily on traffic, which increases during the event: allow a margin for any meeting. The route is presented on our page car with driver Nice Cannes.
Where to be dropped off
The areas around the Vieux-Port and the Croisette are subject to traffic restrictions during the show. Your chauffeur drops you at the authorised point closest to the entrance and agrees the pick-up spot with you. If you have a meeting on board a yacht, tell us the pontoon: we will take it into account.
For exhibitors and brokers
Professionals move from meetings to yacht viewings and dinners. An hourly booking for the day is often more practical than a series of separate journeys: the car stays nearby and your chauffeur answers your call. Our dedicated services are described on the page yachting chauffeur French Riviera.
Accommodation beyond Cannes
During the show, Cannes hotels are quickly fully booked. Many visitors stay in Antibes, Mandelieu, Mougins or Nice. A chauffeur then provides the journey morning and evening, sparing you the end-of-day traffic jams at the wheel.
Evenings
The show comes with many receptions on the quays, in hotels and on board. Your chauffeur awaits you at the exit, even late, and drives you back to your accommodation.
Leaving the show
At the end of the show, departures are concentrated into a few hours and the area around the Croisette is congested. Book your return to Nice airport in advance and allow a comfortable margin before your flight. Your chauffeur awaits you at the agreed point, loads your luggage and takes the smoothest route according to current traffic. If you are leaving by private jet, we drive you to the business aviation terminal.
