Cannes Boat Show Overview: An American on the Mediterranean

http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/10/the-cannes-boat-show-an-overview/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com. I certainly didn't know what to expect when going to the Cannes Boat Show in Cannes, France, and I'm guessing that most of you wouldn't, either. After all, it's not often that we Americans head to the Med just to look at some new boats, especially when we have awesome shows of our own right here in the US of A. But I did figure I'd see some unusual and interesting boats over there which we Americans aren't commonly exposed to. And believe me, that was the case. In fact, the entire atmosphere of the show was quite different over there, so we shot this overview video, to help you get a feel for it. And, of course, we gave you some insight with our blogs from onsite (see Boats Are Different Here, http://blog.boats.com/2013/09/cannes-boat-show-boats-are-different-here/). We also told you about some of the most striking boats seen at the show, (see http://blog.boats.com/category/boats-we-love/), like the Ice 62 and CNB 76 sailing yachts, trawlers like the Grand Banks 54 and Beneteau Swift 50, and show-stoppers like the Monte Carlo Yachts 70 and the 26M WallyAce. Now you can read some of our more in-depth reviews and see the First Look videos of boats we found at the show. These range from the extremely unusual (like the AHqua20 mini sub, http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/09/ahqua2o-mini-sub-the-ultimate-play-toy/) to the awe-inspiring Bavaria 41 (check out http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/10/bavaria-41-cruiser-sailboat-short-take-video/). Enjoy, and au revoir for now!
