Cannes Yachting Festival 2026: A Sun-Drenched Week with Northrop & Johnson

The 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival offered everything we enjoy about the South of France, such as brilliant sunshine, sparkling blue water and that clear sense of excitement along the quay.

From the very first day the show opened, Cannes was full of activity. During the week, the docks remained busy as guests visited one yacht after another, caught up with friends and colleagues, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Northrop & Johnson was proud to showcase five yachts in our display, including BUNTY, NOROADER, BLUE ZONE, GIADA and SULTANA and an additional two yachts in the show with other brokerages, including LADY VOLANTIS and CENTURION. Additionally, we had six yachts for sale and or charter at anchor, including SARASTAR, SUNRISE, ALHAMBRA (for sale and charter), H, RAY, and GRAND CRU.

The week also included some notable occasions. During our broker’s event on Thursday aboard NOROADER, brokers and industry professionals came together to check out the yacht and enjoy light bites and delightful wines provided by Onshore Cellars.

On Friday, N&J’s celebrations were taken aboard the charter yacht SARASTAR. As the sun started to set,  guests enjoyed remarkable views, delicious food, sumptuous wines, courtesy of Onshore Cellars and extraordinary hospitality aboard.

This year, Northrop & Johnson debuted a brand new stand where brokers welcomed clients, guests and industry professionals for meetings, afternoon aperitifs and evening drinks. Hospitality played a central role, with wines from Onshore Cellars providing an elegant touch to the conversations at the exhibition.

By the time the horns blew on Sunday to signify that the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival had come to an end, the N&J team left feeling energized thanks to the positivity on the docks, the busy yachts, the great conversations with clients and friends and the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show on the horizon.

N&J sends out a big thank you to all those who came to see us, took part in our events and helped make the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 a memorable week. We look forward to welcoming you back at the docks soon.
