When to Book Your Cannes Film Festival Yacht Charter
Clients who return annually, or those who wish to have the best possible selection of yachts and a berth in Cannes during the Cannes Film Festival book very early. As a result, it is highly advised to start your search for the perfect yacht at least 8 months in advance if your company wishes to charter a yacht for a week or more, or up to 3 months in advance for day charters.
If you do leave it to the last minute, then do not fear. Every year, our team works tirelessly during the Cannes Film Festival to satisfy last minute yacht charter enquiries.
Securing a Berth During the Cannes Film Festival
For many attendees, a central berth next to the Palais des Festivals is of prime importance. This ensures your company is in the thick of the action for the world famous event. There are a limited amount of berths in the Old Port of Cannes, and every year demand exceeds supply. As a result, as with searching for the perfect yacht charter, it is mandatory to start the application process for the Old Port of Cannes as early as possible. 212 Yachts will guide and assist throughout this process, ensuring the best possible chance of securing a berth for the Cannes Film Festival.
If a key spot in the Old Port is not of huge importance, it is easier to secure a berth in Port Canto. This is a short transfer from the Palais des Festivals, and is favored by many companies.
Cannes Film Festival Berth Application Deadlines
It’s vital to plan ahead when thinking about an event such as the Cannes Films Festival. Competition for berths is high and to be first in line, you have to book well in advance. Berth applications begin months before the event is held. To secure a berth in Cannes during the Cannes Film Festival, it is advised to apply right away. As details of the associated yacht must be included in the berth application, you must have completed your yacht charter contract before applying. To begin this process, contact our team today.
Number of Guests Allowed on Your Yacht Charter
The number of guests allowed on a yacht varies, depending on a number of factors.
The majority of yachts have a capacity of 12 guests while cruising at sea. There are some yachts that have a licence to cruise with more than 12 however so if your group is larger than 12 and you wish to go to sea during your Cannes Film Festival yacht charter, let us know and our team will offer the best available options.
For quayside events (static charters), the limit varies greatly depending on the size and capability of the yacht. Some yachts allow just 15 to 20 guests on-board for cocktails, while others are capable of hosting hundreds of guests. Please inform us of the size of your group and plans, and we will offer suitable yachts.
The number of guests permitted to sleep on-board varies depending on the size of the yacht and the number of cabins. Please inform us of the number of guests that wish to sleep on-board, and the desired sleeping arrangements, and we will offer suitable options.
Corporate Events and Private Parties during the Cannes Film Festival
Events on-board private and charter yachts are a real highlight of the Cannes Film Festival. If you wish to host a memorable, impressive and atmospheric event, then a yacht is the ideal venue. Popular events include formal diners, cocktail parties, live music performances, presentations, business meetings, after parties and many others. Please inform our team of the nature of your planned events, and we can offer the most suited yachts to act as venues.
Cannes Film Festival Yacht Charter Day Trips
A day trip on a yacht is a great way to join in the fun, and get the total Cannes Film Festival experience. Popular day trips include the iconic beach clubs of Pampelone Beach (Nikki Beach/Bagatelle Beach/Club 55), Monaco and the surrounding scenery and the Cannes Islands.
With so many famous sights, restaurants and itineraries to choose from it, it can be hard to plan the perfect day trip. Our team will help with all of the fine details, from timing, advising the best swimming spots, the best places to drop anchor and enjoy a local rosé, the best beach clubs/restaurants and all of the details needed for an amazing day on the water.
We will even help to arrange lunch reservations, VIP transfers and water toy hire (if desired).
For day yacht charters, it is recommended to start and end your charter in Port Canto, rather than the Old Port of Cannes. During the Cannes Film Festival, the Old Port becomes very congested with the high volume of yachts, so delays are common. A short car transfer to Port Canto minimizes the chances of annoying delays reducing your time on the yacht.
Day charter yachts vary on size and number of guests allowed. Let us know your requirements and we will find the perfect yacht to suit. Popular choices are the famous Sunseeker Rehab, the super chic JFF and the quick and cool VanDutch Roar.
