For the third consecutive year, the Antibes Yacht Show heralds the opening of the Mediterranean yachting season with this landmark event held in Europe’s largest yacht harbour.

Having already doubled its capacity last year, the 2009 event innovates again with new facilities and services, and additional show space with more in-water spots and exhibition stands representing the French and international yachting industry.

Situated in the heart of the historic Port Vauban, this idyllic setting within the ramparts, offers the ideal area.

The Antibes Yacht Show covers more than 1,200 m of quay and 15,000 sq M of land.

As in the past two years, the yachts between 20 and 40 metres will be located on the Quay Rambaud along the ramparts of the old town, while the famous Billionaire’s Quay will welcome the larger vessels ranging from 30 metres up.

The area known as the Bastion Saint Jaume will continue to host exhibitors from all yachting industry. The yachts available for viewing range from 15m to 65m.

With the same amount of yachts and exhibitors and approximately 13 000 visitors expected, reserve the dates April 2nd to 5th 2009 in your diary now.
