Yacht Charters

Experience the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera on a luxury Cannes yacht charter. Cannes lives by the motto, “Life is a festival,” and everywhere you look that zest for life is on full display. The city – the crown jewel of the Cote d’Azur – breathes with passion and exuberance.

From its bustling markets and couture shops to the sandy beaches and sun-soaked promenade, enchantment buzzes around every corner. With so much to see, do and taste, it’s no surprise Cannes is a favorite destination for luxury yacht charters.

Once a humble fishing village, Cannes has served as a resort destination since the 19th Century. Aristocrats “discovered” the village, and Cannes quickly become a trendy vacation destination.

Today, Cannes continues to welcome the rich and powerful. A quick look at the city’s deep-water harbor – filled with some of the most luxurious super yachts – proves that point.

Chartering in the Cannes: When to Go?

Like most of the Mediterranean, yachting season in Cannes peaks in July and August. During the summer months, temperatures hover in the low-80s with cool breezes blowing in off the Med. Cannes yachts also tend to book up around the major festivals like the Cannes Film Festival in mid-May and the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

Many choose to charter in Cannes during the shoulder season months of May, June and September, as well. These months offer excellent weather (upper-70s), as well as fewer crowds.
