MIPIM® 2027 yacht charter – a professional tool, not leisure
MIPIM® 2027 yacht charter is not a leisure service. It is a business platform used during major international congresses to host meetings, presentations and networking in a confidential, prestigious setting. Yachts are mobilised exclusively for the full duration of the congress; half-day or single-day rentals are not permitted. Chartering a boat during MIPIM is also reserved for official exhibitors holding a stand within the Palais des Festivals.
Who is this service for?
- International real estate investors and funds
- Property developers and asset managers
- Institutional delegations and city representatives
- Corporate exhibitors and strategic partners
Why choose a MIPIM yacht charter Cannes over a meeting room?
During MIPIM®, Cannes becomes one of Europe’s busiest business destinations. A yacht lets you host private meetings away from crowded venues, hold uninterrupted discussions, strengthen brand credibility with international partners, and stay within immediate proximity of the Palais des Festivals. Yachts are moored at the Port of Cannes (Vieux Port and Port Canto), close to the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette.

Frequently asked questions
Is yacht charter allowed during MIPIM® 2027?
Yes, provided all regulatory conditions are met. Yacht charter operations are subject to authorization by the Port of Cannes and by the congress organizer. During MIPIM®, yachts are chartered strictly for professional use and for the full duration of the congress.
How do investors use yachts during MIPIM®?
As private business platforms: confidential meetings, project presentations and high-level discussions in a calm, controlled setting close to the Palais des Festivals.
Where are yachts moored during MIPIM® in Cannes?
Mainly at the Port of Cannes (Vieux Port and Port Canto), within close proximity to the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette. Mooring locations are assigned according to port regulations and event constraints.
How to request availability?
Due to limited availability during MIPIM®, early planning is essential. Request information & availability.
Which type of yacht should I charter for MIPIM in Cannes?
Depending on guest numbers and format (business lunch, cocktail, dinner, VIP party), we offer yachts of different sizes moored at the port of the Palais des Festivals. We advise the vessel best suited to your image and budget.
Can you host a dockside reception on a yacht during MIPIM?
Yes. A yacht moored at the port becomes a private reception space for cocktails, dinners and business meetings, minutes from the Palais des Festivals. We coordinate catering, décor, hosting staff and security on board.
What services do you provide on board during MIPIM?
Beyond the yacht itself, we coordinate your entire reception: catering and service, décor, sound and lighting, hosting staff, security and onboard crew. Every service is tailored, with a single point of contact.
Can you stay on board the yacht during MIPIM?
Depending on the yacht, its cabin configuration and port regulations, on-board accommodation may be considered during MIPIM. The yacht then serves both as a dockside reception venue by day and premium accommodation, minutes from the Palais des Festivals. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
Do you need authorisation to host on a yacht during MIPIM?
Yes — and it is not optional: hosting on board a yacht moored at the Palais des Festivals harbour during a congress requires authorisation. Depending on the event, the intended use of the yacht and the applicable regulations, it falls to the Port of Cannes (IGY Marinas for the Vieux-Port, City of Cannes for Port Canto) and/or to the organiser. For certain events and configurations, eligibility may also be reserved for official exhibitors, sponsors or accredited attendees.
The split of roles is worth knowing before you book. With the Port and the authorities, we prepare and file the requests and handle the administrative follow-up. With the congress organiser, however, your company files its own request: eligibility depends on its status as an exhibitor, sponsor or accredited attendee, which we do not hold on its behalf. We prepare the supporting material you need for that file, without being able to guarantee that authorisations will be granted, which remains the sovereign and exclusive decision of the competent authorities and organisers.
In practice, a MIPIM yacht charter Cannes request starts several months before the congress. This is what most often decides whether a project happens: an available yacht with no file submitted in time is of no use.
Does a yacht replace our stand at the Palais des Festivals?
No, and the confusion is an expensive one. The stand remains your official anchor inside the show: it gives you visibility, footfall and, in some cases, the status that conditions your eligibility for a quayside reception. A MIPIM yacht charter Cannes complements the stand; it never replaces it.
The division of labour is clear. The stand captures: it takes the flow, qualifies, books the meetings. The yacht converts: it hosts, in small groups, the contacts the stand identified, in a closed setting where a forty-minute conversation becomes possible. From our operational experience on Cannes congresses, the companies that get the most out of a MIPIM yacht charter Cannes are those using it for a second meeting, not a first contact.
In practical terms: keep the stand budget intact, and size the yacht on the number of meetings your team can realistically hold during the week.
