Cannes is the cinematic capital of the Côte d'Azur, known worldwide for its May Film Festival, the palm-lined Croisette and one of the most photographed bays in Europe. Its position halfway between Saint-Tropez and Monaco makes Cannes the natural base for charters that want to reach both ends of the Riviera in a single week.
Just 15 minutes offshore lie the Lérins Islands, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, protected bays with crystal-clear water, a 17th-century fort that imprisoned the Man in the Iron Mask, and a working monastery whose monks still produce wine. Most Cannes day charters anchor here for lunch and swimming.
West of the city, the Esterel coast unfolds in 30 km of red porphyry cliffs that plunge into turquoise water, a coastline only reachable properly by sea. Cannes also hosts the Cannes Yachting Festival in mid-September, the biggest in-water boat show in Europe and a peak week for yacht demand.
May to October. The Cannes Film Festival (mid-May) and Cannes Yachting Festival (mid-September) are the calendar peaks, book months in advance for either. June and early September give peak conditions with much easier availability.
Day charters to the Lérins Islands are a must. Multi-day charters allow Esterel exploration and Saint-Tropez connections.
Protected marine areas around the Lérins Islands, Posidonia meadows, Mediterranean fish, and occasional dolphins.

From secluded bays to charming harbours, these are the spots our captains recommend, places you can only truly experience by yacht.
The larger of the two Lérins Islands, just 15 minutes from Cannes. Pine forests, clear bays, and the mysterious Fort Royal, where the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned.
Anchor in the bay on the south side for the best swimming and shelter from the wind.
The smaller, quieter Lérins Island, home to a working monastery and vineyards since the 5th century. Monks produce acclaimed wine, buy a bottle on the island.
A charming fishing village west of Cannes with sheltered bays and the dramatic red rocks of the Esterel massif as a backdrop. Excellent anchorage and local restaurants.
The dramatic red porphyry cliffs of the Massif de l'Esterel plunging into turquoise water. One of the most spectacular coastlines in France, best explored by yacht.
Several small calanques along the coast offer protected anchoring surrounded by red rock.
The history, culture, and insider knowledge that makes Cannes unforgettable.
Every May, Cannes hosts the world's most prestigious film festival. The red carpet at the Palais des Festivals is visible from the water, and yacht parties rival the films themselves.
During the festival, yacht berths in the Old Port sell for over €100,000 for two weeks.
The original hilltop village of Cannes, predating the Croisette glamour. Narrow cobblestone streets, the Notre-Dame de l'Espérance church, and panoramic views of the bay.
Le Suquet is one of the few remaining areas of Cannes that preserves the feel of the original Provençal fishing village.
The Fort Royal on Île Sainte-Marguerite was the prison of the mysterious 'Man in the Iron Mask', a prisoner whose identity has fascinated historians for centuries.
You can still visit the cell where the masked prisoner was held. It's a short tender ride from your yacht.
