Each September, the Cannes Yachting Festival (CYF) marks the opening of the Mediterranean yacht show season, bringing together some of the most influential players in the global yachting industry. As one of Europe’s leading in-water boat shows, the Cannes Yachting Festival draws captains, owners, shipyards, and suppliers from around the world for a week of networking, product launches, and face-to-face business. For captains and marine businesses alike, CYF is more than a show; it’s a crucial checkpoint in the annual maintenance and refit calendar, where relationships are forged, decisions are made, and new suppliers are discovered.
As of last year, we are proud to have our own dedicated booth (located at PAN 121) at the Cannes Yachting Festival. As leaders in marine engine systems and Official Service Dealers for MTU, ZF, Northern Lights, and Alfa Laval systems, we are bringing 60 years of experience in propulsion, power, and onboard systems. We have come up with 10 reasons why captains, engineers, and managers should stop by the NAVIGAIR booth at CYF.
