Embrace the glitz and glamour of Cannes with a luxury yacht charter.
Cannes is one of the most famous and instantly recognisable destinations on the French Riviera. Proximity to Monaco, Saint-Tropez and the Italian Riviera makes it an excellent base for exclusive yacht charters along this sublime stretch of coast. But there's every reason to stay close to this city itself.
Since the first Film Festival in 1946, Cannes has exuded glitz and glamour. This prestigious event attracts Hollywood stars and A-list celebrities from all over the globe each year. The dazzling blue waters of the Mediterranean - along with the sun-kissed harbour, promenade and beaches - make it the perfect destination for a luxury yacht charter, whether the Cannes Film Festival is on or not.
Stay in and around Cannes, see more of the French Riviera or venture further across the Mediterranean - you're in full control of your itinerary on a luxury yacht charter. If you're spending time in the city, these highlights are recommended by our travel experts.
Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigious and glamorous international film event in the world. It's exclusively reserved for industry professionals, bringing together the very best actors, actresses, directors and producers at the magnificent Palais des Festivals.
Members of the public can't attend without the proper accreditation but there's a special buzz around Cannes during the festival which is sure to enhance a visit. Even if you're not celebrating the best of film and cinema, you'll still have the chance to live the red-carpet lifestyle on a luxury charter yacht.
Le Suquet
The Old Town of Cannes holds a prominent position over the rest of the city. Le Suquet was once its beating heart back when there was nothing but a small fishing village. Today, it offers a charming contrast to the elegant, sophisticated city that has been built around it.
A steep climb through narrow, winding streets rewards you with panoramic views of Cannes, its bustling port below and the gleaming Bay of Cannes beyond. The summit is dominated by the Eglise Notre-Dame de l'Espérence a 15th-century church with a distinctive bell tower, and the remnants of an imposing medieval castle.
La Croisette
The iconic palm-lined promenade of La Croisette is one Cannes' defining features. Starting at the famous Palais des Festivals and finishing at the Port Canto, this three-kilometre stretch has pristine sand, sparkling sea and upscale beach restaurants on one side. The other is adorned with luxury shop fronts and majestic hotels.
La Croisette embodies the luxurious charm and allure of Cannes, bustling with energy through the day and night. Head here to eat, drink, shop, stroll and soak up the vibrant atmosphere on offer in the city.
Îles de LérinsA yacht charter from Cannes gives you the freedom to venture out to the Îles de Lérins, a group of stunning islands just off the coast. They offer a peaceful escape from the lively city and unique activities to enhance your luxury yachting adventure.
The two main islands, Îles Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat, are some of the best-protected jewels of the French Riviera. Their crystal-clear turquoise waters are the perfect setting for snorkelling and diving - the best way to see the fascinating flora and fauna that surrounds them. On land, historic buildings such as the Fort Royal and Lérins Abbey offer a cultural experience and remarkable architecture.
