Yacht Charter Types | Points of Interest | Map of Cannes | Our Cannes Charter Yachts
Cannes is one of the most glamorous yachting destinations in the French Riviera to discover onboard a weekly luxury crewed motor yacht, a crewed catamaran, a bareboat sailing yacht or day charter.
La Croisette, a palm-fringed boulevard, which separates designer boutiques on one side and exclusive beach clubs on the other, is the nucleus of activity and where the majority of our clients spend their time, having tendered ashore from their stunning anchorage in the bay. Each year in May, the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival marks the beginning of the summer, infusing an infectious atmosphere to the glamorous yacht parties and Michelin Starred restaurants you will find from the Palais des Festivals to Port Canto, where this continues throughout spring, summer and into autumn as the season draws to a close.
Positioned between St Tropez and Antibes, Cannes is the ideal hub of glamour and exclusivity from which to embark on your bespoke weekly exploration of the French Riviera, cruising south to Porquerolles, or venturing north to Monaco and into the Italian Riviera. If short for time, a day charter is a popular choice along the French Riviera, delivering the most memorable day out. Discover our Cannes to Iles Lerins Day Charter Itinerary or our Cannes to St Tropez Day Charter Itinerary to give you an insight on what to expect from your day charter in Cannes.

As one of the most photographed boardwalks in the world, La Croisette extends in a graceful, palm tree-studded arc for two miles. Stroll along with the high-end boutiques along the Croisette. Enjoy afternoon tea in the Carlton, feel the sand beneath your feet as you settle onto a sun-bed at one of the private beaches and spend long summer nights tasting the delights of beach restaurants. There are so many incredible places to eat in Cannes and all along the Riviera; take a look at our top restaurants here.
Boulevard De La Croisette and Rue d'Antibes are the main shopping streets in Cannes where you can shop till you drop! They stretch nearly the entire length of La Croisette where you will find hundreds of boutiques where you will undoubtedly have no problem spending a whole day shopping. A few up-scale shops we would recommend visiting are: Croisette 55, Les Projecteurs, Le Grand Bazar, Le Shop 17, and Moncler for a great selection of designer prêt-a-porter.
Meander along to the far east end of La Croisette where you will find the newer port of Port Canto, which berths hundreds of charter yachts. One of the most popular nightclubs in Cannes, Bâoli, is located in the centre of Port Canto, which hosts events and famous DJs throughout the summer season. Head around the corner to dance the night away at GOTHA nightclub which opens in the summer with a star-studded lineup!
Cannes is an ideal destination for foodies and gourmet enthusiasts, boasting a wide variety of exceptional restaurants. Each restaurant is as distinctive as it is delicious. Give in to your desires and have a meal from our selection of favourites: La Petite Maison de Nicole, Le Vesuvio, Le Caveau 30, Vegaluna (great for kids too), Annex Beach and 3.14 Beach (Organic and Completely Gluten Free).
Be sure to get a matelas at either Baoli Beach, Z Plage, or Plage 45! We definitely recommend you order one of their seasonal fresh fruit platters on the beach.
