Chartering a Luxury Yacht: The Cannes Film Festival 2013

The 2013 Cannes Film Festival may be next month, but there is already a great vibe around the whole of the French Riviera. This year will be no different and Cannes will welcome some of the world’s most successful actors and actresses. Stephen Spielberg is to chair the 2013 jury, and will be accompanied by Nicole Kidman, as well as Oscar director winner, Ang Lee and actor Christoph Waltz. Other names include French actor Auteuil, Japanese director Naomi Kawase and Romanian film maker Christian Mungiu.

Nicole Kidman returns this year after an unsuccessful 2012, where her film The Paperboy was poorly received by critics. This year, the main contenders for the much coveted main film category are Steven Soderbergh’s, Behind the Candelabra and Only God Forgives, starring Ryan Gosling. The quality of the panel reflects the talent on show this year, which will commence with the screening of Baz Luhrman’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby and a ceremony hosted by the famous French actress, Audrey Tatou.

The Cannes Film Festival and chartering a luxury yacht go hand in hand. Whether you need a yacht for corporate entertaining, accommodation or personal pleasure, we would be delighted to help you organise an unforgettable experience. A yacht provides much more flexibility than a hotel room, giving you much more space to entertain and host meetings in a lavish environment. Moreover, you will be in the heart of the action and avoid all the hustle and bustle of La Croisette. We have a special offer on MAYAMA, a superb Couach 3000 crewed motor yacht, accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 cabins. She comes with her own berth next to the festival hall, making her perfect for hosting meetings in a luxurious, quiet and more importantly private environment.

At www.boatbookings.com, we are here to help you plan your perfect luxury yachting holiday. 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.

At Boatbloggings we will keep you updated on the latest industry show releases, news and gossip in the yachting world.
