Exclusive Catamaran Charters in Cannes
Experience the glamour of the Côte d'Azur from the deck of a private multihull. Our catamaran charters in Cannes offer the perfect blend of stability, space, and luxury for navigating the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean. Whether you are planning a family holiday or a sophisticated event, we provide a curated selection of vessels departing from the iconic Vieux Port and Port Canto.
Luxury Multihulls and Premium Onboard Services
Our fleet of catamaran charters in Cannes features the latest models from world-renowned shipyards like Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, and Sunreef. These vessels are chosen for their expansive deck space and modern amenities, ensuring a hotel-like experience on the water. You can choose between bareboat rentals for experienced sailors or fully crewed options where a professional skipper and chef handle every detail. Most charters include high-end linens, snorkeling gear, and paddleboards. For those seeking an elevated experience, we can arrange bespoke catering, fine wines, and specialized staff to cater to your every need while you lounge on the spacious flybridge or trampoline.
Unforgettable Routes: From the Lérins Islands to Saint-Tropez
Sailing from Cannes provides immediate access to some of the most beautiful anchorages in France. Just a short hop from the mainland lie the Îles de Lérins; Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat offer crystal-clear turquoise waters perfect for swimming and a peaceful escape from the bustling Croisette. Heading west, you can navigate toward the red rocks of the Estérel Massif, finding secluded coves that are only accessible by boat. For a full-day itinerary, many guests choose to sail toward the legendary Pampelonne Beach in Saint-Tropez or the chic bays of Antibes. The shallow draft of a catamaran allows you to anchor closer to these pristine shores than traditional monohull yachts.
Pricing, Logistics, and Seamless Booking
The cost of a catamaran charter depends significantly on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the season. During the peak summer months of July and August, prices typically start around €1,500 per day for mid-range models, while large luxury power catamarans can exceed €5,000 per day. These rates usually exclude fuel, mooring fees outside the home port, and provisioning (APA). Our booking process is designed for simplicity and security. After selecting your preferred dates and yacht, our consultants provide a transparent contract. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for the high season to ensure the best selection of the fleet.
The Best Time to Sail and Professional Tips
The sailing season in Cannes runs from May through October, with the warmest waters found in August. However, September is often considered the 'golden month' by locals, offering pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds after the summer rush. If you are attending the Cannes Film Festival or the Yachting Festival, early booking is essential as demand for day charters skyrockets. For a truly integrated luxury experience, many of our clients combine a week-long catamaran voyage with a stay in one of our exclusive villas in Le Cannet or Super Cannes. This allows you to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and shopping of the city before retreating to the serenity of the sea.

FAQ
Do I need a license for catamaran charters in Cannes?
If you choose a bareboat rental, a valid international sailing license (such as an ICC) and a nautical resume are required. However, most of our clients prefer a skippered charter. Hiring a professional captain removes the legal requirements for the guest and ensures a stress-free experience navigating the French Riviera's busy waters.
What is included in the price of a catamaran rental?
Typically, the base price covers the yacht rental and insurance. For crewed catamaran charters, the crew's wages are often included, but 'Advanced Provisioning Allowance' (APA) is extra. This covers fuel, food, drinks, and port fees, usually calculated at 25-30% of the charter fee. We provide a detailed breakdown before you confirm your booking.
Can we host a cocktail party on a catamaran in Cannes?
Absolutely. Catamarans are ideal for events due to their wide beams and stable platforms. We offer specialized day charters for corporate events, weddings, or private parties. Depending on the size of the vessel, we can accommodate groups from 12 up to 50 guests for static charters in the port or anchored in the bay.
How long does a typical charter last?
While many guests book week-long excursions to explore the coast down to Corsica or Italy, we also offer daily catamaran charters in Cannes. A standard day charter lasts 8 hours, usually from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which is plenty of time to visit the Lérins Islands and enjoy a long lunch on board.
