Charter a yacht for the Cannes Film Festival

The most glamorous fortnight on the Riviera, seen from the finest address in town: the deck of your own yacht, moored steps from the red carpet.

The event

The world's most famous film festival

Every May, for twelve days, the Cannes Film Festival turns the Croisette into the centre of world cinema. World premieres at the Palais des Festivals, stars climbing the red-carpet steps, the international film industry buying, selling and celebrating: nowhere else gathers so much glamour on so small a stretch of coast.

And all along that coast, from the Vieux Port to the bay, a line of yachts becomes the Festival's most coveted address, where the best evenings happen far from the crowds.

Why a yacht

The best seat in Cannes is on the water

During the Festival, Cannes is full. Hotels are booked out months ahead and the Croisette belongs to the crowds. A chartered yacht changes everything: a private base a few steps from the red carpet, with the whole city in front of you and none of the queues behind.

Watch the arrivals from the deck, host an after-party as the lights come on, or simply enjoy the most beautiful view in Cannes, in complete privacy, with a crew dedicated to you.

For you or your company

A private escape, or a floating headquarters

For private guests, a yacht during the Festival means glamour without compromise: the arrivals on the Croisette, an intimate celebration, the most beautiful view in Cannes with family and friends.

For companies, it becomes your base of operations. Brands host talent and press, studios screen and celebrate, and businesses welcome their most important clients on board, with your name on the passerelle and a crew at their service.

Good to know

Cannes Film Festival, your questions

Can I moor a yacht on the Croisette during the Cannes Film Festival?

Yes, subject to availability. Berths along the Croisette and anchorages in the bay are limited and highly sought after during the Festival, so the earlier you book, the better your position.

Can I host a private party or a corporate event on board?

Absolutely. From intimate dinners to brand receptions and after-parties, the yacht becomes your private venue, with crew, catering and every detail arranged for you.

How long can I charter a yacht for the Festival?

For a single evening, one day, or the full twelve days of the Festival. We build the charter around your programme.

Which yachts are available for the Festival?

From sport boats and dayboats to flybridge motor yachts and large superyachts. We match the yacht to your guest numbers, your plans and your budget.

How far in advance should I book?

The Festival is one of the busiest weeks of the year in Cannes. The best yachts and berths are reserved months ahead, so early enquiries have the widest choice.
