It’s All About Events on the French Riviera!

Events on the French Riviera have kicked off to a flying start, with MIPIM last week being recognised as one of the biggest and best yet we have many more to look forward to and big shoes to fill! MIPTV is next up in April, followed by the glitz of the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and last but certainly not least: the Cannes Lions.

Event charter is an experience like no other. There’s no better way to treat your colleagues, network with counterparts or get yourselves recognised than on a yacht! MIPIM proved this with the Old Port of Cannes attracting as many numbers at the Palais des Festivals itself, and we have a magnificent selection of event boats perfect for lavish cocktail parties or intimate business gatherings alike and also some fantastic last minute offers for the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix!

NAMELESS is one of our favourite new boats on the charter market for 2014. Not only does she have beautifully executed interior design; she has also already gained a fabulous reputation throughout the yachting industry for events, having executed an unforgettable party at the Monaco Yacht Show 2013 for brokers to see the huge array of qualities she has on offer. Without a doubt one of the most handsome boats on the charter market today, she’s available for the Monaco GP at the rate of €25,000 per day.

If it’s a deal you’re looking for, look no further than LE PETIT BATEAU! Her expansive flydeck is the perfect vantage point for up to 50 guests to watch all the Grand Prix action whilst her seasoned event charter crew will ensure glasses are topped up and delicious food is served throughout. She also accommodates a massive 12 guests sleeping. A beautiful, light and modern boat which provides excellent value when she’s available at the special rate of €5,000 per day for the Monaco Grand Prix (min. charter 5 days)!

These yachts are also available during the Cannes Film Festival and French Riviera events in 2015. For expert advice on planning unforgettable and flawless events no matter how big or small – contact our expert team in Cannes today.
