Whether to dream or doing business, this event will bring together visitors from around the world in the largest marina in Europe, the Port Vauban and its famous Quai des Milliardaires.
A challenge faced by professionals
At the cancellation of the Antibes Yacht Show, the ASAP (Support association for the development of the Port of Antibes) spontaneously took up the challenge of organizing at short notice “Antibes Celebrates Yachting”, a real feast dedicated to the Yachting industry, captains and crews.
ASAP has developed a concept of event more targeted on professional, friendlier and more attractive for crews.
