Cannes Yachting Festival in France
The Cannes Yachting Festival is Europe’s largest in-water boat show, held on the French Riviera. There are two sites to the show, and the Riviera showcase can be found at the Cannes Vieux Port.
Australia’s luxury motor yacht builder, Riviera, will showcase the magnificent 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition in her European premiere at the company’s display at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival in France from September 8 to 13.
The Riviera display will also include the sophisticated 4600 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition and the sporty and adventurous 395 SUV.
Riviera will host a special evening event for its European family of motor yacht owners at the show on Friday, September 11.
The Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition offers the ultimate in luxury motor yachting with expansive entertaining spaces and the options of three or four staterooms.
