The event

The retail property market

Each November, retailers, developers and investors gather in Cannes for MAPIC, the international market for retail real estate. Brands and property leaders meet at the Palais des Festivals to shape the future of retail.

And along the port, the yachts of Cannes become private meeting rooms and reception venues.

Why a yacht

A private venue steps from the Palais

During MAPIC, the show floor is crowded and quiet corners are rare. A chartered yacht gives you a private base to meet partners, negotiate and host, in comfort and away from the noise.

A better place to do the business of the week.

Good to know

MAPIC, your questions

Can I moor a yacht near the Palais des Festivals during MAPIC?

Yes, subject to availability. Berths and anchorages close to the venue are limited and in high demand during MAPIC, 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 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 MAPIC?

For a single evening, one day, or the entire duration of the event. We build the charter around your programme.

Which yachts are available?

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?

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