First impression & Trends

1. Less big toys except Camper & Nicholson fleet (first picture)
2. Less yachts: there is still room for big yachts in Port Canto
   
3. Save money: most brokerage companies have no stand
4. The yachts on display are slightly smaller than last year (Monaco Yacht Show?)
   
5. There is a lovely red carpet...but where are the clients ?

2009 Cannes Boat Show

Click to enlarge

The big yachts are already on display at the 2009 Cannes Boat Show which takes place 9-14 September in the quays of le Vieux Port and Port Canto.

Here is a picture that shows the Port Canto pier with a selection of second-hand superyachts (click on the picture to read the names) that are for sale with international brokerage companies like Camper & Nicholson, Oceanstyle...

It seems that there is also a new player: Ancasta Yacht Dpt. with the Mangusta 108 "Four Friends" !

However, unofficial but well-informed sources confirmed that 10% of the exhibitors (mostly superyacht brokers) have cancelled this year...

New boat show trend: put the yacht for sale...at anchor near the boat show (Cannes & Monaco Boat Show).
