The Cannes boat show debuted in 1977, with the event starting as a rather obscure exhibition, becoming more successful over the years, and since the noughties is one of the most important boat shows in the World. From the nineties, Cannes started to grow, with some of the Italian yacht builders helping in shaping the event as they started to preview World first of some models at the show. An important show in this respect was the seventeenth 1994 edition which was a turn around event, as Cannes expanded its spaces. In the noughties the show also added Port Canto to its Vieux Port exhibition spaces. Port Canto debuted first as an area for super yachts and then in 2018 it became the sailing yachts area. The Cannes Boat Show was cancelled in the 2020 and 2021 COVID years.
