Cannes Yachting Festival: Why Kiwi Buyers Should Make the Trip to the South of France

Written by

If a new yacht is on your radar, the Cannes Yachting Festival is worth putting on the calendar.

Running September 8-13 on the French Riviera, Cannes brings together the full Lagoon, Excess and Beneteau ranges in one place, including world premieres and models that may not reach New Zealand for years. For buyers weighing up options, the chance to step aboard multiple boats side by side, meet factory teams directly, and get straight answers on layouts, pricing, build timing and delivery schedules is hard to replicate anywhere else. For many, it becomes the starting point for a Mediterranean cruising adventure.

The team at 36 Degrees Brokers will be attending throughout the event, offering New Zealand clients private walkthroughs, model comparisons, and guidance on European pickup options. Complimentary show tickets are available to genuine NZ buyers who register their interest with 36 Degrees before the show.
