⚓ OCEAN POSSE & BEN TAYLOR 🇫🇷 CANNES TONIGHT

The boat show winds down.

The street party starts.

Tonight at 18:30, Ocean Posse crews, friends, partners and fellow explorers are getting together in Cannes for our 4th annual street party.

There may be a little pitching, but there will definitely be rum, tacos, sailing stories and plenty of talk about where everyone is heading next.

We promise you this: Tonight there is nobody is standing up with a PowerPoint telling you how to sail the Seven Seas.

Just sailors meeting sailors, reconnecting with old friends, making new ones and swapping the kind of information that actually matters when you’re out cruising.

If you’re in Cannes, come find the Posse.

See you on the quay tonight.
