Experience the Cannes Film Festival from a yacht

Every May, Cannes brings together the most influential figures from the worlds of film, business, and luxury for twelve days. Hotels are fully booked months in advance, the Croisette is packed, and reception venues worthy of the name are hard to come by.

At the port, it’s a different story. A private yacht facing the Croisette becomes the festival’s most exclusive event venue: accessible only to your guests, away from the crowds, with fully dedicated service. This is where the off-the-record meetings take place, the dinners that seal deals, and the parties people talk about long after they’re over.

Nautibliss books, positions, and equips your yacht for the entire duration of the Festival. You focus on your guests. We handle the rest.

FAQ — Yacht Charter for the Cannes Film Festival

Is it possible to rent a yacht at the dock during the Cannes Film Festival?

Yes, most of our clients choose a dock-based package during the Cannes Film Festival, which allows them to host events in a stable setting that’s easily accessible from the Croisette. The yacht is moored in the harbor, accessible exclusively to your guests, with full onboard service. Out-at-sea cruising is still possible if you wish, particularly for dinners at sea or transfers between different points in the harbor.

How far in advance should I book for the Festival?

The most popular units and the best berths are reserved between 6 and 12 months before the Festival begins. We recommend that you contact us as soon as your attendance is confirmed. Outside of peak demand periods, we can sometimes accommodate requests on shorter notice, depending on availability.

How much should you budget for a yacht during the Cannes Film Festival?

The budget depends on the size of the vessel, the rental period, and the level of service desired. As a general guide, a one-day event on a yacht under 25 meters starts at around €4,000 to €10,000, including tax. For a superyacht between 40 and 60 meters in length during the Festival, weekly rates range from €120,000 to €340,000 excluding tax and fees (APA). Nautibliss will provide you with a detailed and transparent quote tailored to your needs.

Can we have members of the press and film crews on board?

A yacht chartered during the Festival can easily serve as a venue for interviews, photo shoots, or press receptions. We take into account the technical requirements associated with this type of use when planning your event.

Does Nautibliss offer boat transfers within the port?

Yes, we offer boat shuttle services to help your guests travel between different yachts or docking points during the Festival. This is a particularly useful solution during large events when getting around the harbor becomes difficult.

Are there any port restrictions during the Cannes Film Festival?

The Port of Cannes is subject to specific regulations during the Festival, particularly regarding berthing spaces, docking times, and permits for on-board events. Nautibliss is well-versed in these requirements and handles all necessary procedures with port authorities to ensure your stay complies with regulations and is free of any unpleasant surprises.

Does Nautibliss organize events outside the Mediterranean?

Yes, our international network covers more than 30 destinations worldwide: the Caribbean, Dubai, Greece, Croatia, Australia, Mexico, and many others. No matter where your event is held, we can deploy the right team and coordinate on-site logistics through our network of local partners.
