Yacht Charter in CannesPrivate cruises, day-boats and crewed superyachts

Our fleet covers the entire nautical spectrum. You can rent open day-boats from 7 to 12 metres for a relaxed outing, motor yachts from 12 to 25 metres with a skipper or light crew, sailing yachts and catamarans for a more authentic experience, large charter yachts from 25 to 40 metres with a full crew and private chef, or superyachts over 40 metres such as ANNAMIA. ANNAMIA is our flagship, but it is only one option among dozens: we always select the boat best suited to your group, itinerary and budget thanks to our network of owners and brokers.

The most popular itineraries from Cannes are the Lérins Islands (Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat), just twenty minutes away, for a day of swimming and lunch at anchor; Saint-Tropez and the Pampelonne beaches for a glamorous day; and Monaco with Cap-Ferrat for casinos and elegant ports. For longer charters, we reach Portofino and the Italian Riviera, Corsica, or the Calanques of Cassis to the west. Each itinerary is tailor-made to your pace, the weather and your wishes, with tips on anchorages and coves that only locals truly know.

ANNAMIA is our flagship: a 43-metre Baglietto tri-deck built in 2007 and fully refitted in 2017, based in France under the Maltese flag. Her hull and superstructure are steel, for 419 GT. She accommodates 12 guests in 5 cabins with 5 bathrooms, including a full-beam master suite with a private jacuzzi on the main deck. She offers a main saloon, a panoramic skylounge on the upper deck and an equipped flybridge. Powered by two 1,950 hp CAT engines, she reaches 16 knots (14 cruising) with a range of 3,400 nautical miles. Her water-toy package includes a Novurania tender, a Seadoo jet ski, a Yamaha SVHO, a wakeboard and snorkeling gear.

It depends on the boat you choose. For day-boats and small motor yachts, you can opt for a bareboat rental (provided you hold the appropriate boating licence) or add a professional skipper to fully enjoy the day. From around 18 metres upward, a full crew is generally included: captain, deckhands, stewardess and, on the largest units, a private chef. Our flagship ANNAMIA sails with an experienced, English-speaking crew entirely dedicated to your comfort, discretion and safety throughout the cruise. We always advise you on the formula best suited to your level of experience and your wishes.

For a simple day-boat in low season, 48 to 72 hours is usually enough. For a crewed yacht in July or August, however, or during major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix or the boat shows, we strongly recommend booking several weeks or even several months ahead: the best boats and the most sought-after crews go very early. That said, we always do our utmost to honour last-minute requests thanks to our network of local owners and brokers, who regularly reserve availability for us even in peak season.

For weekly crewed charters, the base price covers the yacht rental, the crew wages and insurance. Running costs — fuel, food and drink, port fees, taxes, laundry — are billed separately through an APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), usually around 30% of the charter fee and reconciled at the end of the cruise based on actual spending. For day rentals, fuel and skipper are most often included, while catering, champagne and water sports are offered as options. We systematically detail every line in your quote to avoid any unpleasant surprise.

Absolutely, and it is one of our specialities. A yacht is an exceptional setting for a birthday, a marriage proposal, a corporate cocktail or a party during the Cannes Film Festival. We arrange the catering and private chef, the DJ or live music, the floral decoration, the photographer and on-board service. Whether you wish to stay at anchor in the bay of Cannes facing the fireworks, or cruise at sunset between two ports, we design a fully bespoke event, respecting port regulations, safety and your guest list. Capacity, duration and budget are defined together in advance.

Yes, and that is the advantage of working with a company that is both a chauffeur and concierge service. We coordinate your entire journey: a private Mercedes transfer (E-Class, V-Class or Viano) from Nice airport or your villa to the dock in Cannes, with a chauffeur also waiting for you when you return from the cruise. We can also arrange a helicopter transfer to Monaco or Saint-Tropez to join the yacht and save valuable time in high season. A single contact thus handles the boat, the car and every logistical detail, so your day at sea begins and ends without the slightest wait.

Yachting is one of the finest experiences to enjoy as a family on the French Riviera. The Lérins Islands offer calm, shallow waters ideal for children, and our crews are particularly attentive to safety, with suitable life jackets and constant supervision. Water toys — paddleboards, towed buoys, snorkeling gear — delight young and old alike, and a private chef can prepare child-friendly menus. We adjust the itinerary and timing to a comfortable family rhythm, planning shaded rest areas on board and suitable stops. Many families return every summer to renew the experience.

It depends on the option chosen. To rent a bareboat day-boat or a small motorboat, you must hold a valid boating licence suited to the power and navigation zone. If you do not hold a licence, or if you prefer to enjoy your day without constraints, we simply add a professional skipper to the rental. For all yachts above a certain size, as well as crewed charters and superyachts such as ANNAMIA, no licence is required on your part: the captain and crew handle all navigation. We always guide you toward the simplest and safest solution based on your experience.
