Royal Regattas

Every September, the Bay of Cannes becomes a stage for some of the world’s most elegant traditional sailing yachts. These beautifully restored monohulls, with designs spanning nearly a century, race in a regatta that carries a royal legacy dating back to 1929. You’ll find yourself watching a parade of maritime craftsmanship as these classic boats glide across the shimmering waters of the French Riviera. It’s an event that naturally draws collectors, sailors, and anyone who appreciates the art of sailing. Beyond the races, there’s a chance to appreciate the history and detail behind each vessel, from their polished woodwork to their graceful lines. The event offers a quiet kind of excitement, where the focus is on skill and tradition rather than speed alone. Whether you’re a sailing enthusiast or simply curious, you can enjoy the spectacle from the shore, sharing the moment with others who admire these timeless yachts. It’s a thoughtful way to spend a day by the sea.
