This weekend, don't miss the 16th edition of Les Voiles de Cassis , an event that has become a must for enthusiasts of classic sailing and maritime heritage. This unique gathering showcases the most beautiful traditional sailboats in an exceptional setting between Cap Canaille , the Bay of Cassis , and the turquoise waters of the Calanques National Park. Organized since 2008 and orchestrated by the Port-Miou Nautical Club , Les Voiles de Cassis brings together a prestigious fleet of classic yachts each year for a weekend of regattas, camaraderie, and festivities in one of the most beautiful ports in the Mediterranean. For this 2025 edition, 36 boats are registered —a record—and the event promises to be more vibrant than ever, especially as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of the AFYT (French Association of Traditional Yachts), a major player in the preservation of nautical heritage.
