September on the French Riviera is unlike any other time of year in the yachting calendar. The world’s most influential shipyards, designers, suppliers, and talent all converge on two iconic events – the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show. For Reiya Group, it was a month of opportunity, connection, and celebration of the people who make this extraordinary industry thrive.
Cannes Yachting Festival 2025: Where Innovation Meets People
Six days. Two marinas. Over 700 yachts, from sleek 5m runabouts to towering 50m superyachts – plus some of the world’s most impressive offshore vessels.
Cannes brought together 600+ exhibitors, 55,000 visitors from 130 countries, and hosted 120 global debuts. It once again proved why it’s Europe’s largest in-water yacht show.
But for us at Reiya Group, Cannes is never just about the yachts. It’s about the people who make them sail. From conversations with crew and captains to exploring future career paths with industry professionals, we were reminded once again that trust, integrity and relationships are the true engines of the superyacht world.
With nearly £686 million worth of yachts on display – averaging just under £10 million each – the glamour was undeniable. Yet what we valued most was the chance to strengthen connections and spark new ones.
Monaco Yacht Show 2025: The Pinnacle of Prestige
From Cannes, the momentum carried seamlessly into Monaco… the beating heart of superyachting. Over four days, Port Hercule showcased the industry at its very peak:
120 superyachts, nearly half of them world premieres
A combined fleet worth €3.7 billion
60 luxury tenders
560 exhibitors
And, of course, 1 Reiya Group for your recruitment needs.
The Monaco Yacht Show isn’t just an exhibition, it’s a meeting point for the world’s most influential owners, shipyards and decision-makers. For Reiya Group, it was a week of reconnecting with familiar faces, forging new relationship and positioning ourselves at the heart of the conversations that will shape the future of yachting talent.
A September of Success
Attending both Cannes and Monaco in one month was intense, but the results speak for themselves. From packed schedules of events to meaningful discussions with both established and emerging professionals, September cemented Reiya Group’s role as a trusted recruitment partner in the UHNW sector.
