Cannes is one of the most glamorous yachting destinations on the French Riviera and the perfect place to begin or end your weekly luxury crewed motor yacht, crewed catamaran, bareboat sailing yacht, or day charter. Every French Riviera yacht charter itinerary should include this amazing city so you can explore and experience everything it has to offer.

La Croisette is a bustling strip with designer boutiques on one side and exclusive beach clubs on the other. It is the nucleus of activity in Cannes, and the majority of our clients spend their time ashore venturing into the shops and clubs.
Each year in May, the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival kicks off the summer, as celebrities flock to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, creating an atmosphere like no other. It fills the city with glamorous yacht parties, beach events, and Michelin-Star restaurants throughout spring, summer, and autumn when the season draws to a close.
Positioned between St. Tropez and Antibes, Cannes is a hub of glamour and exclusivity in the Riviera making it the perfect place to embark on your bespoke weekly exploration of the French Riviera. Cruise south to Porquerolles, or venture north to Monaco and continue on to the breathtaking Italian Riviera.
