Yacht charter in Cannes is our specialty. During Cannes’ major congresses and festivals, Cannes Yachts Booking provides a private yacht moored at the Palais des Festivals port, turned into your space for receptions, meetings and VIP networking, just steps from the show floor. From yacht rental for a Cannes congress to the full fit-out of the boat, we manage your event from A to Z.
Your yacht charter agency and intermediary in Cannes
As your independent yacht charter agency in Cannes, we act as your intermediary — we are not a broker, but the intermediary who sources, books and fits out the right vessel for your event. Whether you need yacht hire in Cannes for a single reception or a multi-day hospitality base, we handle the vessel, the berth request with the Port of Cannes, catering, branding and on-site coordination — one contact from brief to teardown.
How do brands host clients on a yacht during a Cannes trade show?
Brands charter a private yacht moored at the Palais des Festivals port and use it as a hospitality base for meetings, cocktails and dinners throughout the congress (MIPIM, Cannes Lions, TFWA, MIPCOM, ILTM). As an independent agency, we handle the vessel, the fit-out, catering and on-site coordination.
Which Cannes congresses are best suited to yacht hospitality?
MIPIM (real estate), Cannes Lions (creativity and advertising), TFWA (travel retail), MIPCOM (entertainment) and ILTM (luxury travel) — events with a high-budget international B2B audience already on site.
Yacht charter, rental or hire in Cannes: what’s the difference?
The terms are used interchangeably. « Yacht charter », « yacht rental » and « yacht hire » all describe booking a vessel moored at the Palais des Festivals for the duration of an event — charter usually implying a fully crewed, catered set-up. Whatever the wording, we handle one thing: putting a private, branded space on the water at the heart of the congress, with a single point of contact from brief to teardown.
Why choose a yacht charter in Cannes for a congress?
During the major congresses, Cannes fills up: hotels are full, restaurants are booked out and traditional meeting places lack privacy. A yacht moored a few minutes from the Palais des Festivals becomes a calm, high-end, confidential setting for meetings, presentations, cocktails and dinners — away from the crowded exhibition floor, yet right next to your clients.
Yacht rental in Cannes: a unique location at the heart of the event
Your guests board just steps from the Palais des Festivals, with no transfer and no wasted time. Hiring a yacht in Cannes during a congress means a private, confidential address facing the Croisette, ideal for hosting clients, partners and prospects.
