The 41st edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival is, indeed, rich in events and things to see.

In addition to 5 world premieres, attendees will be able to see a whole fleet of gorgeous yachts – 25 majestic vessels that range in size from 8 to 42 meters.

The event started with some financial data. During the annual press conference, the CEO of Ferretti Group revealed the company’s main financial results and once again proved the positive trend of the industry. The demand for yachts is growing, for example, the company currently has a consolidated order book of 218 million euro for its serial brands. Ferretti Group plans to achieve a production value of 704 million euro in 2018. That result only strengthens extraordinary results of the previous year.

Customers from what countries buy yachts the most? According to the data provided by the Group, almost a half of their customers (49%) are from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. 36% of all new orders come from the Americas, and the Asia Pacific accounts for 15% of all orders. During the Cannes event, guests can participate in a number of entertaining initiatives associated with the festival. However, not only the French city will host these events.
