Cannes Yachting Festival opens ticket sales for 2026 edition

Ticket sales have opened for the 49th Cannes Yachting Festival, which will take place from 8 to 13 September 2026.

The event, held at the start of the European boating season, is set to bring together 680 exhibitors and around 700 boats. Displays will cover a broad range of sectors, including yachts, powerboats, dayboats, sailing yachts and catamarans.

As in previous years, tickets are available exclusively online, with organisers confirming that none will be sold at the show entrances.

Visitors can choose from several ticket options. A one-day ticket costs €40, while a family pass for two adults and two teenagers aged 11 to 18 is priced at €120 for one day. Children up to the age of 11 can attend free of charge.

A two-day pass is available for €65. The Comfort ticket, priced at €125, includes access through VIP entrances as well as use of the VIP sea shuttle service between the two ports.

New offerings for 2026

New for 2026 is the Sea Access VIP – Vieux Port ticket. Priced at €220 for a one-day visit, it includes access to the Vieux Port VIP pontoon for boat drop-off along with entry to the VIP Clubs.

Silver, Gold and Platinum VIP packages are also available, starting at €250 depending on the package selected and the length of the visit. Organisers say these options include additional services designed to simplify movement between the two exhibition areas.

One change for this year’s event is the Silver VIP package, now available to a single visitor attending for one day.

For industry professionals, a four-day pass costs €60 and is valid from Tuesday 8 September to Friday 11 September. The pass includes access to the Business Centres located in each port.

Buy one get one free promotions

The festival will also hold monthly ticket promotions on 8 June, 8 July and 8 August 2026. During each promotion, visitors purchasing a one-day ticket for one person will receive a second ticket free of charge.
