Discover the beauty of Cannes by yacht
There’s so much more to Cannes than cinema…
Although it’s known internationally for the annual film festival it has been hosting for 70 years, the city of Cannes is an exceptional seaside resort that guarantees a holiday you’ll never forget.
A quaint fishing village with stunning beaches, Cannes combines the spirit of a modern city with the peace and beauty of a Mediterranean cove. As well as rich culture, history and festivities, you’ll also find unique nature and architecture . Take in the Croisette and its miles of beaches, visit the Croix-des-Gardes Forest Park and stroll through the historic centre as you explore the district of Suquet, from the Saint-Pierre quay to the Old Port.
Discover an extraordinary city in style with a yacht charter
The city of Cannes is such a delight, it’s best enjoyed in luxury and comfort. Whether you’re coming to Cannes to admire the outstanding landscapes , for its exclusive nightlife or unrivalled beaches, a yacht is the perfect means of transport in which to enjoy your vacation. From the luxury accommodation to the unique way of travelling, renting a yacht elevates your stay in Cannes and guarantees to delight your family, friends and guests.
Don’t miss a thing with your yacht charter
There’s so much to see, do and experience during your visit to Cannes, you may find yourself limited by a single mode of transport such as a car.

A yacht blends the comfort of a 5-star hotel with the total freedom of being at sea, giving you access to the coast of Cannes and Mediterranean basin. The best part? Unlike a hotel room, the stunning panoramic views from your yacht change every day.
