Held in the spectacular setting of Port Canto on the French Riviera, Cannes is Europe’s premier in-water yacht show and the perfect opportunity to experience the exceptional craftsmanship, performance and offshore capability that define every Contest yacht.

Whether you are planning extended cruising adventures, ocean crossings or luxurious family sailing, our team will be on hand to guide you through the range and discuss your future sailing ambitions.
