The Port Vauban of Antibes comes alive from morning to night, to the joy shared by the many visitors, participants and onlookers. The Village des Voiles awaits you in the heart of Europe’s leading yachting port for a few days to celebrate the noble history of yachting.

The Excellence Riviera teams will organize your arrival. Helicopter to Cannes or Nice, then luxury car rental or yacht rental to anchor in the Bay of Antibes and enjoy the regatta spectacle as closely as possible. We will design your trip with you to make the Voiles d’Antibes experience as magical as possible.

Cannes Yachting Festival – September 10th to 15th, 2024

Every year, the Cannes Yachting Festival takes place in the Old Port, in front of the prestigious Palais des Festivals de Cannes.

This year’s show features over 700 boats, including new models from Benetti, Arcadia Yachts and Mangusta Yachts.

While the Old Port continues to host the bulk of the show’s offerings, with over 350 units ranging in size from 10 to 45 meters, the Port Canto will be the center of attention this year. In all, some 340 units will be on display, including 120 new yachts over 10 meters, 170 power boats over eight meters, housed in a new 1,700 m² marina, and around 50 large pre-owned yachts over 24 meters.

Complementary to the Monaco Yacht Show, the Cannes show plays the eclecticism card, with boats up to 45 meters in length. Here, the emphasis is on diversity, and you’ll find sailing boats, powerboats, monohulls, multihulls, hard or semi-rigid hulls. 

In Cannes, the organizers are also playing the lifestyle card, both through the yachting-related offer and through the “luxury gallery”, in the heart of the Palais des Festivals, where you can discover handcrafted products or products serving the art of living and exceptional know-how.

Contact us to land directly in Cannes, by helicopter or private jet. We’ll provide you with a chauffeur-driven car or luxury car rental service to the port of Cannes. The best way to experience the Cannes Yachting Festival in an immersive way is to charter a yacht. You’ll be able to anchor in the Bay of Cannes or between the Lérins Islands for the duration of the event.

Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez – September 28th- October 6th, 2024

Also known as the “Nioulargue”, the Voiles de Saint-Tropez marks the end of summer in Saint-Tropez.

Like every year, 2024 will be both festive and convivial. 

Crews of some of the world’s finest yachts, some ultra-modern and some over a hundred years old, will anchor in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to celebrate their passion for yachting. Cigarettes and old rigs meet in a sublime maritime ballet.

Two weeks of regattas will punctuate Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. The first week will bring together maxi yachts and modern sailboats, before the second week will see traditional yachts compete. Some 250 crews are expected to take part in this 25ᵉ edition.

Two weeks during which the whole village of Saint-Tropez comes alive and pays tribute to its history. The corsair city comes alive again in an atmosphere very different from the summer, as old rigging and boating enthusiasts take the place of summer vacationers.

To make the most of Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, Excellence offers you a wide selection of sublime villas and yachts to rent for an exceptional stay. Our teams can also book hotels, restaurants, luxury cars… so that your only concern during your stay in Saint-Tropez is to live intensely the Voiles de Saint-Tropez experience and atmosphere.

Monaco Yacht Show – September 25th to 28th, 2024
