MIPCOM is not like other trade shows. It’s the week when Cannes welcomes international media decision-makers, and the Palais des Festivals becomes the venue for negotiations on catalogs, series, and formats that will be seen on screens around the world. Experiencing MIPCOM from a fully private yacht in Cannes means having a reception setting that matches the stakes of an industry where image matters as much as content.
Nautibliss organizes your yacht charter in Cannes for MIPCOM, at the Vieux Port just steps from the Palais des Festivals, or at neighboring docks depending on availability. From selecting the charter yacht to the final closing reception, our teams coordinate every detail of your week with a single point of contact, absolute precision, and total discretion.
Nautibliss does more than just provide a yacht. Our teams handle all the event logistics.
For studios, streaming platforms, and distributors looking to host their key buyers in a truly unique setting, a yacht in Cannes during MIPCOM becomes a powerful negotiation tool. Whether it’s breakfast with a buyer from Northern Europe, lunch with an American streaming platform, or a signature dinner with a Latin American broadcaster, Nautibliss coordinates every detail with a private chef and a dedicated crew, ensuring complete confidentiality.
MIPCOM is also the event where new programs are announced and upcoming formats are unveiled. Whether it’s a launch cocktail party with a pilot presentation, a press conference on the sidelines of the market, or the unveiling of an international co-production, our teams take charge of the yacht and coordinate the set design, technical operations, and press relations. The yacht becomes a natural extension of your booth at the Palais des Festivals.
For content with strong commercial potential that deserves a tailored presentation, yacht charters offer an unparalleled private screening format: HD screenings in an air-conditioned lounge, followed by a briefing from the producer or distributor, and a lunch or cocktail reception. You present your series, film, or format to a select group of targeted buyers, in conditions that maximize the impact of the work and the quality of the discussion.
When a program is presented at MIPCOM alongside its talent (actors, creators, showrunners), hospitality becomes a strategic component of the promotion. A private yacht charter for press interviews, a press briefing in the late morning, lunch with the editorial staff of a trade publication, an impromptu set on deck: Nautibliss works with your communications team to coordinate the provision of the yacht, the reception of journalists, and the technical production of each event.
Based in Cannes, just minutes from the Old Port, we organize annual yacht charters in Cannes for studios, distributors, streaming platforms, and agencies during MIPCOM. Our in-depth knowledge of the Old Port’s moorings, the city’s port authorities, and the specific constraints of MIPCOM week allows us to secure the best berths and anticipate every logistical detail during a period when the focus is commercial rather than maritime.
As a subsidiary of Santarelli Marine, a family-owned group active in the boating industry since 1959, we have a Cannes yacht charter network and a depth of expertise that few other market players can offer. At an event as specialized as MIPCOM, where every meeting involves the distribution of content on an international scale, this difference is evident in every detail.
MIPCOM, the international market for television, film, and digital content, is traditionally held in Cannes in October over four days, from Monday through Thursday, at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. It is the world’s largest gathering in the media industry, bringing together more than 13,000 professionals from 100 countries, including producers, distributors, broadcasters, streaming platforms, and investors. Most of our clients charter their yachts in Cannes from Sunday evening through Friday morning.
Rates for yacht charters in Cannes during MIPCOM week are higher than during the peak summer season due to the concentrated demand from the international media during this October event. For a 30- to 40-meter yacht in the Vieux Port, expect to pay between €90,000 and €200,000 (excluding tax) for the week, not including fees and additional services. For yachts 50 meters and longer, budgets start around €280,000. Nautibliss provides a detailed quote based on the yacht charter, location, duration, and desired itinerary.
Ideally, 6 to 10 months in advance. The best locations in the Old Port are reserved during this window, and the units most in demand by production companies and streaming platforms are often confirmed before summer. For last-minute requests, we offer solutions for units that are still available or alternative locations near the Palais des Festivals, depending on cancellations and last-minute adjustments.
Most of the yachts chartered for MIPCOM are moored in the Old Port of Cannes, at the Albert-Édouard or Saint-Pierre quays, less than 100 meters from the Palais des Festivals. Depending on availability, some vessels may be moored at Port Canto, about a ten-minute walk from the event, or at the nearby port of Mandelieu for very large vessels. Nautibliss will guide you to the location best suited to your schedule.
Yes, this is one of the most common uses of yacht charters during MIPIM. Modern yachts feature indoor lounges suitable for meetings, screens, audiovisual systems, high-speed Wi-Fi, and layouts capable of accommodating anywhere from four to several dozen people for a presentation. Nautibliss can also arrange for additional equipment (video projectors, sound systems, models, signage) to be installed according to your needs.
No, MIPCOM badges and professional credentials are issued directly by the market organizer. Renting a yacht in Cannes does not grant access to the event. However, Nautibliss can assist you in coordinating your attendance: guest registration, arrival management, and VIP access (subject to availability), in addition to your private event.
Yes, Nautibliss offers yacht charters in Cannes year-round, outside of MIPCOM. Whether you’re looking for a day at sea departing from the Old Port, a weekend yacht charter on the Riviera, or a multi-week trip in the Mediterranean, we’ll select the perfect yacht for your plans. Rates for yacht charters in Cannes outside of MIPCOM are on par with those of the traditional high season, particularly during the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, Cannes Lions, and the Cannes Yachting Festival.
