Published on: 31st Aug, 2022

Europe has been awash with Australians taking the chance to sail the Greek or Croatian islands, go hiking, tour wine regions or just visit friends and family under the summer sun.

France is beckoning again for many sailors, with the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 hoisting its sails from September 6-11 on the Côte d’Azur.

The Cannes Yachting Festival is expecting 54,000 visitors to check out 120 new boats, ranging from 10-28 metres, in the sailing area in Port Canto. In the Old Port, in the heart of Cannes, there will be 570 exhibitors and 620 motor boats from five to 50 metres. The Old Port has four areas, electric boats, motorised multihulls, sea trials and outboard/inboard engines.

There is also a Luxury Gallery inside the Palais des Festivals in the Old Port. This space is all about luxury and craftsmanship.

Performance Cruising Yachts will be on hand to show any Australian potential buyers yachts from our family of brands. We are the proud Australian distributors for Elan Yachts, the Dufour 48 catamaran, Cervetti 44 catamarans, and our most recent addition, Ice Yachts. Elan will be showcasing the brand new Elan E6, making its world premiere, and the virtual release of the new Impression 43. Catamaran lovers will be able to see the Dufour 48 catamaran and its brand new sibling the Cervetti 44, while Ice Yachts will be showing off the Ice 70rs and the Ice 62 Targa.
