The Régates Royales de Cannes are unlike any other competition. Every year in late September, the world’s most beautiful classic sailing yachts gather in the Bay of Cannes for a week of regattas that rank among the most elegant in the Mediterranean. Experiencing this event from a fully private yacht in Cannes means enjoying the best vantage point on the water, in the comfort of a private reception and at the heart of an event where tradition takes precedence over spectacle.
Nautibliss organizes your yacht charter in Cannes for the Régates Royales, whether in the Old Port, Port Canto, on the neighboring quays, or cruising in the bay. From selecting your charter yacht to the final awards ceremony, our teams coordinate every detail of your week with a single point of contact, the highest standards, and complete discretion.
Nautibliss does more than just provide a yacht. Our teams handle all the event logistics.
For groups looking to host partners, clients, or colleagues in a setting that blends maritime tradition with Mediterranean sophistication, a yacht in Cannes during the Régates Royales offers an unparalleled venue for networking. Lunches at sea to watch the regattas, sunset cocktails in the bay, gourmet dinners at anchor: Nautibliss coordinates the entire program, from airport transfers to the organization of every service on board.
Experiencing the Régates Royales with your loved ones aboard a charter yacht that becomes your home base for four or five days is an experience few other events can match. A flexible itinerary, sailing right alongside the races, stops at Saint-Honorat or the Lérins Islands, dinners on board or at the finest restaurants on the Croisette: we tailor the trip to your preferences, managing all scheduling details so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
The Régates Royales are also one of the highlights of the year for private events on the Riviera. A cocktail reception overlooking the bay at the start of the week, a gala dinner on Saturday evening, and an after-party aboard a yacht off the Lérins Islands: for the most ambitious events, our teams bring together the best caterers, artists, and technical service providers on the French Riviera, with full consideration for your guest list.
The Monaco Yacht Show and the Régates Royales de Cannes take place just a few days apart, sometimes partially overlapping. Many clients charter a single yacht to experience both events: hospitality in Monaco during the show, sailing to Cannes for the regattas, and even extending the trip to Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. Nautibliss coordinates this extended itinerary, from the first cocktail party in Monaco to the final regatta in the Bay of Cannes.
Based in Cannes, right on the quays where the classic sailboats of the Régates Royales are moored, we organize annual yacht charters in Cannes for an international clientele that demands discretion, reliability, and excellence. Our proximity to the Cannes Yacht Club, along with our knowledge of the boat owners and port authorities in the bay, allows us to secure the best berths during the Régates Royales and to anticipate every challenge of a week where the sea sets the pace.
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 unique as the Régates Royales, this difference is evident in every detail.
The Régates Royales de Cannes are traditionally held in late September, over the course of nearly a week, in the Bay of Cannes. It is one of the major events in the world of classic yachting, organized by the Yacht Club de Cannes, bringing together traditional sailing yachts, Tofinus, Dragons, Big Boats, and exceptional vessels. Most of our clients charter their yachts in Cannes from Tuesday or Wednesday through Sunday, with some extending their stay to include stops in Saint-Tropez and Italy afterward.
Yacht charter rates in Cannes during the Régates Royales remain lower than those during the Monaco Yacht Show and the Grand Prix, though they are higher than during the peak summer season due to increased demand during this week. For a well-positioned 30- to 40-meter yacht, expect to pay between €80,000 and €180,000 (excluding tax) for the week, not including fees and additional services. For yachts 50 meters and longer, budgets start around €250,000. Nautibliss provides a detailed quote based on the charter yacht, location, duration, and desired itinerary.
Yes, highly recommended. The best berths for the Régates Royales are booked 6 to 12 months in advance, and the most popular boats are often reserved as early as spring. We recommend contacting us at least 4 to 6 months in advance. For last-minute requests, we offer boat rental options in Cannes at nearby locations, at anchor, or on boats that may still be available depending on cancellations.
A yacht in Cannes moored at the Vieux Port or Port Canto offers direct access on foot to the Régates Royales village, Yacht Club events, and the restaurants along the Croisette. A yacht underway or at anchor in the Bay of Cannes, on the other hand, allows you to follow the regattas up close, with the option to maneuver alongside the races. Most of our clients combine both: mooring in port for the evenings and sailing during the day for the regattas.
Absolutely—while the Régates Royales are a must-attend event for classic yachting enthusiasts, the event remains accessible and enjoyable for everyone: the beauty of the sailboats, the elegance of the bay, and the intimate atmosphere of the evening events appeal far beyond the circle of insiders. From your charter yacht, you can enjoy the spectacle at your own pace, without needing to know anything about class rules or racing regulations.
Yes, Nautibliss offers yacht charters in Cannes year-round, except during the Régates Royales. 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. Prices for yacht charters in Cannes outside the Régates Royales period are on par with those of the traditional high season, particularly during the Cannes Film Festival and the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Yes, and this is a format that many clients are adopting. The two events take place just a few days apart in late September, sometimes partially overlapping. A single yacht charter covers both events: hospitality in Monaco during the show, then sailing to Cannes for the regattas. Nautibliss coordinates the entire program, from selecting the yacht to port changes and reception events.
