Luxury Vessels and Tailored Weekend Services

Every charter is fully equipped with high-end amenities, and most options come with a professional crew, including a captain and stewardess, to ensure your comfort. Depending on the vessel size, you can enjoy onboard stabilizers, spacious sun decks, and water toys like jet skis or paddleboards. We focus on providing a seamless experience, where the itinerary is customized to your preferences, ensuring that even a short forty-eight-hour trip feels like an extensive vacation.

Sailing the Glamorous Bay of Cannes
A weekend allows for the perfect exploration of the Îles de Lérins, located just a few miles off the coast of Cannes. Drop anchor between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat for a swim in crystal-clear turquoise waters or a visit to the historic monastery. For those wishing to venture further, a short cruise west brings you to the red rocks of the Esterel Massif and the secluded coves of Agay. Alternatively, heading east allows you to see the legendary Cap d'Antibes and the Billionaires' Bay. These routes offer a mix of natural beauty, quiet anchorages, and the chance to see the iconic French Riviera coastline from a perspective that only a private yacht can provide.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of a yacht rental for a weekend in Cannes typically depends on the size of the vessel, the year of manufacture, and the level of service required. Prices generally start from approximately €3,000 for a premium day-cruiser suitable for overnight stays, ranging up to €25,000 or more for larger luxury motor yachts. These rates usually include the yacht and crew, while additional costs like fuel, mooring fees outside the home port, and food (APA) are calculated separately. Our booking process is streamlined: after selecting your preferred yacht, our advisors handle the contracts and provisioning lists, ensuring that everything is ready for your arrival at the marina in Cannes.
When to Visit and Villa Combinations
The best season for yachting in Cannes is from May to late September, when the Mediterranean weather is consistently warm and the sea is calm. July and August are the peak months with the most vibrant atmosphere, while June and September offer a more tranquil experience with pleasant temperatures. Many of our clients choose to combine their weekend yacht charters with a stay in one of our luxury villas in the Californie or Super Cannes districts. This 'Land and Sea' approach allows you to enjoy the glamour of the city's nightlife and shopping on the Croisette before heading out to the open water for total privacy and relaxation.

FAQ
What is included in weekend yacht charters in Cannes?
Typically, the charter fee covers the yacht rental and the professional crew. Additional expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, and berthing fees in other ports are usually covered by an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is approximately 30% of the charter price. We provide a detailed breakdown during the booking process to ensure full transparency.
Can I customize the itinerary for a two-day trip?
Absolutely. While we suggest popular routes like the Îles de Lérins or Saint-Tropez, the itinerary is entirely flexible. You can discuss your preferences with the captain, who will tailor the route based on weather conditions and your interests, whether you prefer secluded swimming spots or docking at famous beach clubs.
Do I need a license to rent a yacht for the weekend?
If you are booking a crewed yacht, no license is required as the professional captain is responsible for the vessel. For bareboat rentals, you must provide a valid international skipper's license and a nautical CV. Most of our luxury weekend offerings are crewed to provide the most relaxing experience possible.
Where do the yachts depart from in Cannes?
Most of our yachts are moored in the Vieux Port (Old Port) of Cannes, located right next to the Palais des Festivals, or at Port Canto at the eastern end of the Croisette. We will provide specific boarding instructions and meeting points once your reservation is confirmed.
