Yacht Charter MIPIM – When to Book
If possible, begin your yacht charter planning in July or August the year prior. Many popular yachts book well in advance, and to ensure placement in the Old Port in Cannes, we advise that you complete a berth application early.
If you have left it a little (or a lot) later, however, do not worry! Every year, 212 Yachts match MIPIM attendees with their perfect charter yacht, months and days before the event begins. Just don’t wait any longer, and contact us now!
Hosting Events On a Yacht
A yacht is the perfect venue to host events during MIPIM. Whether you opt for a berth in the Old Port, a berth in the quieter Port Canto, or to drop anchor in the Bay of Cannes. It’s not just about hosting intimate meetings with key clients, prospects, and partners. Popular events held on yachts during MIPIM include evening cocktail parties, formal dinners, keynote speeches, live music performances among others.
Whatever event(s) you wish to host, inform our team of your objectives and requirements, and we will propose the yachts and crews best suited to deliver.
Number of Guests Allowed On-Board
For quayside events (static yacht charters), the capacity significantly varies. Some yachts may limit the number of guests to 15-20, while others can facilitate a guest-list of hundreds. Please inform us of how many guests you would like to invite to your events. This is so we can send yachts that best cater to your requirements.
Similarly, the number of sleeping guests that charter yachts can accommodate varies on the number of cabins. Typically, a minimum of one cabin is available for 2 guests. However, some guests may require private accommodation. Let us know how many guests you must accommodate and the sleeping arrangements you want to incorporate. With your proposal, we will feature yachts that best satisfy these requirements. Crew have separate quarters on-board, to ensure the privacy of guests.
While cruising, most yachts have a limit up to 12 guests at sea. If you would like to go to sea during your yacht charter with over 12 guests, do let us know. We will send you the yachts available with the rare licence to cruise with over 12 guests. For day charters during MIPIM with under 12 guests, you will have many more options, starting at 1,500 euro per day plus expenses.
How to Get a Berth on Quai d’Honneur for MIPIM
Cannes Old Port is located a stones-throw from the Palais des Festivals. Every year, the Quai d’Honneur lines up with some of the world’s most impressive luxury superyachts. With the branding of major and aspiring real estate companies all over them. This location offers unbeatable convenience and excellent brand exposure, but spaces are limited.
The application to be in the Old Port of Cannes during MIPIM is only legitimate once you have signed your charter contract and pay the first installment in advance. This as a result of the Port Authorities who process the applications require a charter contract as part of the application dossier. If you would like a place in the Old Port, immediately on receipt of the fully signed contract and installment 1, our experienced team will create and submit the berth application, maximizing your chances of success.
If a berth in the Old Port is not essential, or if the Old Port is full, Port Canto offers excellent additional berthing facilities. Port Canto is a short walk (20 mins) / drive (5 mins) from the Palais des Festivals and is more cost-effective than the Old Port.
MIPIM Yacht/Boat Day Trips
Day trips on a yacht or luxury boat during the prestigious event are a great way to entertain clients and partners, build relationships or celebrate MIPIM’s success. A day charter from Cannes offers access to the best of the French Riviera. Including Saint Tropez, Monaco, and the Cannes Islands. You can select a larger crewed yacht complete with a chef, water toys and ample space. Or rent a VanDutch 40 or charter a VanDutch 55 from Cannes for a more fast-paced day out.
Yacht Charter MIPIM Costs
The cost of a yacht charter varies according to your requirements. 60’ yachts with 2 crew and 3 cabins start at approximately 4,000 euro plus VAT and expenses per day. While larger yachts with greater amenities, crew, and accommodation can enter triple figures.
VAT is applicable on all charters in France and is 20% on top of the charter fee. APA (click here for more information on APA / yacht charter expenses), or advanced provisioning allowance, is used to cover expenses, which come with your yacht charter and are typically 30% on top of the charter fee.
