Mooring and organization during the Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival gathers film and luxury professionals from around the world in Cannes every year. A Cannes Film Festival yacht charter combines exclusivity, a premium image and commercial efficiency, while staying within immediate proximity of the Palais des Festivals. Yachts are moored at the Port of Cannes (Vieux Port and Port Canto), minutes from the Croisette.
We support you from selecting the yacht to on-site coordination: fit-out, catering, décor, hosting staff and security. Every service is tailored to your representation goals and budget.
Our services for your yacht at the Cannes Film Festival
Beyond the yacht itself, we coordinate your entire reception: catering and service, floral décor, sound and lighting, furniture, hosting staff, security and onboard crew. Every Cannes Film Festival yacht charter is built to measure, from the initial brief to day-of coordination, with a single point of contact. We also advise on the format best suited to your goals: a standing cocktail, a seated dinner, a VIP party or confidential business meetings on board.
Because the number of berths at the port is limited during the Cannes Film Festival, we recommend planning your request several months ahead to secure both the yacht and the mooring you want. Early booking also helps lock in the budget and fine-tune every service, for a perfectly controlled hospitality operation facing the Palais des Festivals.
