Cannes Yacht Charter – Boat Rental

Cannes yacht charter is the most suitable choice for those who wish to rent a boat for Day-charter, a Weekly charter, or a Corporate Event Charter. The peak yacht charter season on the French Riviera is starting in May through late September.

Cannes, French Riviera

The Cote d’Azur remains a preferred yacht charter destination for yachting enthusiasts from all over the world, while Cannes is the most geographically convenient location for cruising departures.

Cannes is situated between Saint-Tropez and Monaco, two of the main “hot spots” for day-charters on the French Riviera and can be easily accessed a short drive away from either the Nice international airport or Cannes-Mandelieu airport serving private jets.

Cannes disposes two well-appointed splendid marinas at both ends of the famous Boulevard de La Croisette, where the best choice of fine Luxury yachts and Superyachts for charter are regularly moored.

Along with its glamorous social life, elegant people and celebrities, expensive cars, boutiques, exceptional restaurants, and palatial hotels, trendy beach-clubs and fabulous anchorages, the bay of Cannes also hosts yearly international media, corporate and artistic events in the South of France such as the Cannes Film Festival, becoming the showcase of the newest luxury Superyachts and Megayachts. Become a personality and participate in the atmosphere of these events aboard a luxury yacht!

DAY YACHT CHARTER

Many of our customers prefer to book short day-charters to the Lerins Islands, with its shallow limpid waters adored by children, or to the nearby wild coves of the Esterel mountain range, or to one of the beach-clubs in Saint-Tropez, or to visit the many spectacular anchorages between Nice and the Principality of Monaco like the bay of Villefranche, or simply disembark to visit and enjoy the glamorous Monte-Carlo.

Nature and biodiversity enthusiasts will find their happiness cruising to the Hyeres Islands consisting of Port-Cros, Porquerolles and Levant island. Being a national marine park and protected area, these islands are a shelter for over 180 fish species, splendid preserved underwater flora, and the littoral is picturesque with multiple coves, creeks and cliffs washed by translucent waters.

2021 Cannes Film Festival

The Covid-19 pandemic having modified the event schedules, the Cannes Film Festival has just announced the new dates for 2021 from 6 to 17 July, instead of the traditional May schedule.

COVID-19 DISPOSITIONS

Yachts are self-sufficient vessels carrying only a handful of people and represent the ultimate social distancing by limiting exposure during your cruise. They have therefore become a safe and preferred traveling means of transport and lodging.

Our Cannes yacht charter crews provide the highest hygiene and safety levels by also strictly respecting social distancing, wearing masks, observing all barrier gestures, getting PCR tests regularly, and permanently disinfecting their boats, including a thorough professional disinfection in-between charters.

During the pandemic, negative Covid-19 PCR tests are required for every charterer boarding in the South of France, regardless of their origin or destination. Guests are also briefed even prior to embarkation, on how to best observe barrier gestures and social distancing aboard our yachts for charter.

To preserve our customer’s safety, health, and interests, flexible and adapted re-scheduling and cancellation terms are proposed to charterers when booking.

Surprising enough was to notice that the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns had an ecological impact across the sea, air, and land. By simply walking in a marina here on the Cote d’Azur, we are pleased to observe that the seawater is much cleaner. The Mediterranean flora and fauna have proliferated.

NEWEST ADDITION TO OUR CHARTER FLEET

The environmental approach to yacht charter has made many boating enthusiasts turn to sailing catamarans instead of the more conventional motor yachts for their cruising vacations.

The latest addition to our charter fleet is the brand-new 2021 Bali 5.4 sailing catamaran SIGNATURE CONCEPT, which will be a perfect choice for chartering a yacht in Cannes and its surroundings.

With her Flexible 4 or 5 cabin layout for 8 to 10 guests, this catamaran navigates smoothly and silently, its vast main deck is convertible to indoors/outdoors open space, with hydraulic platform aft, and solid deck fore, is suitable for lounging and yoga classes even in navigation.
