Discovering the pulse of luxury yachting in four unforgettable days by the Riviera
The French Riviera has always been a stage for elegance — and during the Cannes Yachting Festival, it became the epicenter of vision, craftsmanship, and connection.
Our CEO, Francesco Lemonis, and COO, Laurent Labarte Medrano, spent four days immersed in this world, walking the quays, stepping aboard masterpieces of design, and engaging with the pioneers who are shaping the future of luxury at sea.
From sunrise reflections on polished decks to conversations that carried the spark of new collaborations, Cannes offered more than spectacle. It offered perspective. A reminder that yachting is not only about the vessels themselves, but about the experiences they create — journeys of presence, rhythm, and discovery.
Innovation was everywhere. Sleek new builds pushing the boundaries of design. Thoughtful details that reveal how true luxury is measured in intention, not scale. Inspiring discussions on sustainability, lifestyle, and the evolving language of travel.
Each encounter left us enriched — with knowledge, with ideas, with renewed energy to craft the kind of voyages that feel as timeless as the sea itself.
We return from Cannes not only inspired, but also anchored in what matters most: creating experiences that are personal, immersive, and unforgettable.
With warmth,
The YAL’OOU Team
