One of Europe’s major boating events
Founded in 1977, the Cannes Yachting Festival is recognized as Europe’s largest afloat boat show. Its latest edition brought together approximately 680 exhibitors, 710 boats ranging from 5 to 50 meters and nearly 56,000 visitors, consolidating Cannes as the world capital of boating during the event days.
On its pontoons you can discover virtually any type of boat: sport dayboats, family cruisers, walkaround boats, sailboats, multihulls, large yachts and pre-owned models. All accompanied by equipment manufacturers, service companies and the latest technological solutions applied to navigation.
For Nautic Luis, attending Cannes represents an opportunity to learn firsthand about the trends that will define the coming seasons, meet with the main shipyards and accompany each client in the search for the boat that best suits their way of navigating.
Nimbus Sport Tender 35: world premiere in Cannes
One of the most anticipated innovations of this edition will be the world premiere of the new Nimbus Sport Tender 35, the first model in the Swedish shipyard’s new Sport Cruiser 35 family.
This new boat measuring 10.80 meters in length and 3.20 meters in beam has been developed on a completely new double-step hull. Its layout includes two multifunctional decks, folding side balconies, two cabins and capacity for five people to spend the night on board. It will be available with a Mercury V10 outboard engine or with a twin Mercury V8 configuration.
The Nimbus Sport Tender 35 combines the dynamic behavior of a sport boat with comfort levels typical of a cruiser. A proposal conceived not only around the helm station, but for all the people who enjoy life on board.
Its premiere in Cannes will allow discovering firsthand Nimbus’s new design direction, based on functionality, safety and Scandinavian elegance.
Nautic Luis, present alongside Marex and Parker
During the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, the Nautic Luis team will also be present at the Marex and Parker stands, attending to clients and visitors interested in learning about their respective ranges.
Marex represents a particularly refined way of understanding family boating. Its boats stand out for their incomparable finishes, intelligent solutions and interiors designed to enjoy long days at sea with maximum comfort.
Parker, for its part, offers a particularly versatile range. From sport and open models to cabin boats for year-round navigation, the shipyard combines innovation, functionality and solid construction quality.
Each brand responds to a different navigation style. Therefore, the advice from the Nautic Luis team will allow comparing layouts, engines and equipment to identify which type of boat best fits each owner’s needs.
Vieux Port and Port Canto: two settings facing the Mediterranean
The Cannes Yachting Festival is distributed between two emblematic locations connected by water shuttles.
The Vieux Port, located in the heart of Cannes, hosts some of the most prestigious shipyards, large motor boats and numerous international presentations. Its setting, next to the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette, offers one of the most recognizable images of the show.
At the other end of the Croisette, Port Canto brings together the space dedicated to sailboats, large pre-owned yachts, nautical accessories and a specific marina for motor boats up to approximately 12 or 13 meters.
Water connections between both ports will operate regularly during opening hours, facilitating movement throughout the venue.
