Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 | 36° Brokers

Dates: September 8th-13th, 2026
Location: Cannes - Vieux Port & Port Canto, French Riviera

See the Entire Lagoon, Excess & Beneteau Ranges in One Place

If you’re considering a new yacht in the next few years - especially with a European pickup - Cannes is the single best opportunity in the world to make confident decisions. Unlike any show in NZ or Australia, Cannes brings the full model ranges, world premieres, factory teams, designers, and brand specialists together in one place across two iconic marinas. This is where serious Kiwi buyers go to get clarity.

Why Cannes is Worth the Trip for Kiwi Buyers

1. Compare everything side-by-side

You’ll see more Lagoon, Excess and Beneteau models in one day than you’d typically see in NZ over several years.
Perfect for narrowing down your shortlist quickly.

2. Face time with factory teams 

Meet the designers, engineers and brand experts who shape each model. Ask the questions you would never get answered online:

• Build slots
• Pricing
• Spec options
• Delivery timelines
• Material choices
• Sail plans
• European pickup logistics
• Med cruising windows

3. The best place to explore European pickup

If your dream includes a Mediterranean season, we’ll help map out:

• Pickup ports
• Commissioning plans
• Storage options
• Skipper training
• Cruising routes
• Insurance & compliance
• Delivery timing
• Family-friendly itinerary planning

Many Kiwi buyers make their first big purchasing decision at Cannes.

4. See global releases before anyone else

Cannes is home to world premieres, often models that take 1 - 2 years to reach NZ. Being early gives you priority access to build slots and delivery windows.

5. A huge time-saver

Cannes lets Kiwi buyers compare real boats (not brochures), refine their shortlist, and make decisions with clarity.

Who Should Consider Attending

• Buyers planning a purchase in 2026-2028
• Anyone considering Lagoon, Excess, or Beneteau Sail/Power
• Families exploring Mediterranean cruising
• Buyers looking at syndication options.
• Kiwis wanting clarity on build timing and availability

If you’re even thinking about a new boat, Cannes is the most efficient and enjoyable place to get answers.
