Most people associate Cannes with the Film Festival in May. But for yacht charter guests, Cannes offers extraordinary cruising from April through October — and increasingly during winter.
The Lérins Islands
Just 15 minutes offshore, the Lérins Islands provide a complete escape. Île Sainte-Marguerite offers pine-forested walks and snorkelling, while Île Saint-Honorat has a working monastery producing wines you can taste on the island.
The Esterel Coast
West of Cannes, the volcanic red rocks of the Esterel Massif create one of the Mediterranean's most dramatic coastal landscapes. The coves and beaches along this stretch are pristine and uncrowded.
Summer Events Beyond the Festival
- Cannes Lions (June) — advertising festival with yacht parties
- MIPIM and MAPIC — real estate events with charter demand
- Fireworks Festival (July–August) — spectacular harbour displays
- Régates Royales (September) — classic yacht racing
