NEW VISUAL FOR CANNES YACHTING FESTIVAL 2018

For its 41st edition, the Cannes Yachting Festival is changing its visual identity to be in line with both continuity and evolution.

From the Vieux Port to Port Pierre Canto, from one end to the other of the famous Croisette, the best of the international offering of motor, sailing, monohull or multihull is meeting in Cannes from 11 to 16 September.

Continuity because this new creation retains the main characteristics of the show’s DNA: elegance, clean lines, calm sea, horizon and lovely lifestyle that inspire navigation.
Evolution with the presence of two boats. On the one hand, the motor yacht, the primary identity of the show, illustrates the 500 yachts exhibited ranging from 2 to 65m. On the other hand, the spinnaker sailing boat is there because the Cannes Yachting Festival also shows more than 100 sailing boats, from 10 to 32 m, presented by the major shipyards.

Whether it’s the number of boats in all categories or the number of sailing boats, the Cannes Yachting Festival confirms its position as Europe’s largest in-water boat show.

The Ferretti Group is also preparing for the  41st edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival.  The enchanting backdrop of the Côte d’Azur will be a fitting stage for 5 premieres from Ferretti Yachts, Custom Line and Riva. 

The Ferretti Yachts 670,Riva 66′ Ribelle, Riva 110′ Dolcevita, Custom Line 120′ and Custom Line Navetta 42 will all be on parade, flanked by a fleet of another 25 superb models: Ferretti Yachts 450, Ferretti Yachts 550, Ferretti Yachts 780, Ferretti Yachts 850, Ferretti Yachts 920, Pershing 5X, Pershing 62, Pershing 70, Pershing 82, Pershing 9X, Itama 62, Riva Iseo, Aquariva Super, Rivamare, 56’ Rivale, Riva 76’ Bahamas, Riva 76’ Perseo, Riva 88’ Domino Super, Riva 100’ Corsaro and Custom Line Navetta 33.
