Luxury Yacht Charter Cannes
Crewed yachts departing Cannes: a day at the Lérins Islands, a week between Saint-Tropez and Monaco, or the Film Festival seen from the bay.
A luxury yacht charter in Cannes starts at the heart of the Croisette. From the Old Port, beside the Palais des Festivals, or from Port Pierre Canto, the Lérins Islands are about fifteen minutes away, and the whole Riviera opens up, from Saint-Tropez to Monaco. Opera Prestige arranges crewed yacht charters from Cannes, from a single day at sea to a week-long cruise.
Every yacht is chartered with a professional captain and crew: no licence or sailing experience is needed. By motor yacht, Antibes is around thirty minutes away, Nice under an hour, Monaco about an hour and a half and Saint-Tropez under two hours. We choose the yacht, crew and itinerary around your group, your dates and the occasion, including a yacht for the Cannes Film Festival in May.
To cruise further afield, see our yacht charter on the French Riviera; ashore, our Cannes concierge arranges your villa in Cannes, restaurants and transfers in parallel.

Cannes Yacht Charter: What to Expect
01
Day Charter
A Day at Sea from Cannes
The classic day: Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat, with its abbey and vineyard, a swim at anchor in the channel between the islands, then Cap d’Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, or west to the red rocks of the Esterel. At the end of the day, a sunset outing in the bay. See also our private day cruises on the French Riviera.
02
Week-Long
A Week at Sea from Cannes
West, Saint-Tropez, Porquerolles and the Îles d’Hyères. East, Antibes, Cap-Ferrat, Monaco and the Italian Riviera. On larger yachts, Corsica is about a hundred nautical miles away. The itinerary is set with the captain according to the weather and your wishes.
03
Festivals
The Film Festival and the Yachting Festival
In May, during the Film Festival, a yacht in the harbour or at anchor off the Croisette becomes a private base for receptions, interviews and evenings away from the crowds: see our Cannes Film Festival yacht charter guide. In September, the Cannes Yachting Festival takes over the Old Port and Port Pierre Canto. For both, availability goes months ahead.
04
Events
Corporate and Private Events on Board
Cannes hosts major congresses all year round, among them MIPIM in March, Cannes Lions in June and MIPCOM in October. A yacht in the bay is a setting for client receptions, product launches or a private dinner. Our private events team handles production on board while the crew runs the yacht.
