Cannes Film Festival Yacht Charter

Cannes is always a stunning place to visit on a luxury yacht charter but, during the Cannes Film Festival, the port town's glamour goes up a gear as the most sought-after movie stars, directors, models, musicians and other celebrities, arrive for film premieres, red carpet action and iconic parties. 

Crucial to the festival's sparkling allure is the fleet of luxury yachts lined up in and around Cannes. This makes the star-studded event an ideal platform for a corporate yacht charter, which will act as a private and glamorous setting for hosting parties, fine dining functions, live entertainment and meetings on board.

Renting a yacht for the Cannes Film Festival

There is certainly no better way to impress and entertain clients, contacts and friends than from a luxurious superyacht based in the opulent surroundings of the South of France.

The formal program of film premieres airs at the Palais des Festival, located directly opposite the bustling Old Port. Charterers who want to be near all the action should secure a berth in the marina, with prime spots available along the Jetee Edouard Albert.

For those looking for a bit more privacy, berthing away from the hustle and bustle in the nearby Port Pierre Canto is much quieter. Or for the utmost seclusion, anchoring off the coast and coming ashore by tender also has its benefits.

The glitz and glamour

Evolving over the years but still seeking to preserve its core values: a love of cinema, the discovery of new talent, and uniting professionals and journalists from around the world, every year a new jury of judges awards a series of accolades, including the iconic Palme d'Or.

In 2022, the festival celebrated its 75th anniversary, but the star-studded meet continues to be one of the world’s most widely publicized events and certainly the most important date in the international film calendar in terms of worldwide impact.

As competition for a berth during the festival is fierce, it's recommended you book early. For more information on planning a Cannes Film Festival yacht charter, speak to your preferred charter broker.
