That time of year again when we welcome the world’s premium craft to Port Vauban in Antibes for the first major boat show of the local season.

The Antibes Yacht Show is traditionally the first major boat show of the year locally, providing the perfect opportunity for industry professionals to present their products and services in advance of the summer season.

Created in 2007 in response to demand for a Spring show in the region, the event is a first-class marketing platform and has proven hugely beneficial to those involved in all aspects of yachting. This year, shipyards will also be present at the show for the first time, presenting their latest models before the season starts.

Being the the only show to cater for yacht charter, there is the opportunity to secure the first charters of the new season as well as the chance to exhibit to numerous brokers and individuals looking to charter. They also have the chance to meet the crew onboard and discover in person the style of vacation and the type of experience that is available to them.
