Retaining its glittering charm, allure and glamorous appeal from its 1950s fame, the town of Cannes remains a yachtsmen haven. Surrounded by rolling hills, rugged cliffs and streaming rivers, this seaside city is forever synonymous with the luxury life that the Côte d’Azur is famed for. Exceptional balance between refined luxury, extravagant parties in luxury villas and surreal natural beauty, the city embraces its rich past and celebrates it every day. Hosting prestigious events each year, such as the Film Festival, there is more to the city than its opulence. Cannes is also home to beautiful natural landscapes, from the red hills of the Esterel mountains to the golden sands of its coastline lined with jagged cliff sides. A Cannes charter will ensure you are in the centre of all the action and let you explore this gem of the French Riviera thoroughly.
One of the best ways to experience the annual Cannes Film Festival is aboard a yacht. The central focal point of the film festival is the venue of the Palais des Festival, and the nearby Vieux Port, filled with superyachts, has become one of the main attractions of the week-long event.
Head over to the island of Saint Honorat to explore Lerins Abbey. Afterwards, explore the city’s narrow streets and enjoy a coffee in one of the cafés, or enjoy a sublime day of pampering at one of the exclusive spas.
Cruise to the island of Sainte Marguerite for some tranquillity. Covered in a deep aromatic pine and eucalyptus forest, relax on one of its beaches or visit the 17th century Fort Royal, known for keeping the Man in the Iron Mask or the maritime museum.
