For a day charter Cannes guests appreciate, she balances comfort with nimble handling—ideal for a relaxed loop of the coast or an unhurried lunch at anchor.

Wide side decks and clear sightlines make moving between bow, cockpit and the stern platform intuitive—useful when dropping anchor off Sainte-Marguerite or Cap d’Antibes. Indoors, the salon and two cabins offer uncluttered, cool havens for a quiet coffee, a quick change, or a short rest.

It’s an uncomplicated platform for a polished French Riviera yacht charter.
Best destinations & anchorages from Cannes
From Cannes, the CRANCHI M44 reaches the Îles de Lérins in minutes—drop anchor between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat for clear water and a sheltered lunch. Eastward, Cap d’Antibes delivers classic Riviera scenery: Baie de la Garoupe and the Billionaires’ Bay are perennial favorites with good holding and easy tender runs ashore. To the west, Théoule‑sur‑Mer and the Estérel coves offer red-rock backdrops and typically calmer afternoon seas. Golfe-Juan and Juan‑les‑Pins make relaxed swim stops en route to Antibes. With efficient cruising, you can also plan a longer leg toward Saint‑Tropez on a settled day, accepting an earlier start and a focused run. Your captain will tune the route to conditions and timing so you enjoy unhurried swims and a proper table for lunch.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Cannes delivers shore life at every speed. On the islands, La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite pairs a bay-side table with a short tender hop. Along La Croisette, Carlton Beach Club and La Môme Plage are polished options with dependable service. Over at Cap d’Antibes, Plage Keller on La Garoupe is a Riviera classic that suits a late swim and early dinner. For an after‑cruise evening, Bâoli at Port Canto keeps the energy high within easy reach of your berth. Between stops, consider a stroll through the Marché Forville or the lanes of Le Suquet for a more local Cannes. Your itinerary can combine a swim‑first cadence with one or two well‑chosen shore reservations for a balanced day.
