How To Select The Best Day Charter Yacht in Cannes 2013

Choosing your perfect day charter yacht for this summer in Cannes poses a few potential headaches, due to the sheer amount of yachts that we have available! Hiring a boat in Cannes is not quite as simple as choosing one that you like the look of, with other pertinent factors of crew, itineraries and price being equally as important. This blog seeks to provide clarity and advice to ensure that you charter the very best yacht for your needs.

Step 1: The number of guests vs. the yacht’s capacity

Due to maritime law, the number of guests allowed on board for the majority of yachts is strictly restricted to 12. You should choose a yacht with a slightly higher capacity than your number of guests, to ensure that there is enough room for everyone to socialise and sunbathe comfortably. Please remember that costs per head will sharply rise on our event yachts if you only have 8 guests on a yacht with capacity for 36 passengers. If a yacht says that it has a maximum capacity of 12, please remember that it will be able to accommodate more than this for a party at port.

Step 2: What is your yacht charter budget and what is included in the price?

The charter rate includes full hire of your Cannes day charter yacht and will include the crew or skipper, as appropriate. We have a great selection of yachts that come with a complementary VIP package, which includes a bottle of champagne, soft drinks, a fresh fruit basket and towels. Please ask your broker to see if your yacht come with this package. You are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments or we would be delighted to help you provision. Fuel is either prepaid in part of the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) or paid at the end of the day.

Step 3: What style of yacht can I get for a day charter in Cannes?

99% of yachts available in Cannes for day charters are motor boats. If you want to go to Monaco or St Tropez on your day charter, we would recommend a larger and faster yacht to ensure that you get their speedily and in complete comfort. If you wish to slowly cruise along the French Riviera and visit the beautiful Iles des Lerins, we would recommend a yacht with expansive decks, where you can sit back, relax and soak up the atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur.

We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you bring together the yacht, the crew and all the other aspects that make your charter special.

A Fusion of Fine Art and World Class Yachting On The River Thames

Part of the 2013 London Boat Show included the UK Star Championships; a race for Olympic class Star keelboats. These sailboats were recently seen at the 2012 London Olympic Games, and were on the waters of the Royal Victoria Docks on the 18^th January, ready to race with a difference. The recent arrival of snow in London meant that they were off to a chilly start, and the Olympians and World Champion sailors set out to brave the cold weather. These famous sailors included the likes of Iain Percy, Andrew Simpson and Michael McIntyre.

The difference with these Star boats was their appearance.
This was a Fine Art Sails regatta, a new means to showcase art. The main sail

of each boat was a canvas for some of the best international modern artists, including EINE (a favourite of Samantha Cameron, Prime Minister David Cameron’s wife), Jaime Gili and INSA. With sails catching in the winds, the artwork constantly moves and changes appearance throughout the race. The regatta was won by French sailor Xavier Rohart and Serge Pulfer of Switzerland, the only non-British pair in the race. Not all the art was on the water though; Ben Ainslie also donated his Finn class sail to Fine Art Sails, to be displayed in the main exhibition hall.
