Frequently asked questions
How long can a yacht be chartered for during the TFWA?
We offer yacht charter for the TFWA in Cannes only for the full duration of the show, not by the hour or half-day.
Can the yacht be branded in our colours?
Yes, within the limits of harbour regulations. We assist with the fit-out, decoration and dressing of the reception area.
How far is the yacht from the Palais des Festivals?
The boats are moored at the Palais des Festivals harbour, a few minutes’ walk from the main show venues.
How do we book a yacht for the TFWA?
Contact us as early as possible: the number of yachts available in the harbour is limited during the TFWA.
Which type of yacht should I charter for TFWA 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 TFWA?
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 TFWA?
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 TFWA?
Depending on the yacht, its cabin configuration and port regulations, on-board accommodation may be considered during TFWA. 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.
