REQUEST VIP coordinates motor yacht charter in Cannes for Lérins days, Riviera transfers and multi-day cruising. Share dates, guests, cabins and route priorities; the concierge can verify the exact commercial yacht, legal capacity, crew, fuel method and port plan. All vessel, berth, rate and itinerary elements remain subject to written confirmation.
Key Facts
- Cannes has 5 ports, including central Vieux-Port and municipally managed Port Pierre Canto.
- Port Canto publishes a 3-knot harbour limit and VHF channel 9 for access.
- Safe itinerary speed depends on local limits, sea state, traffic and guest comfort.
Available Yachts, Rates and Embarkation Ports
Compare the named yacht's current specification: commercial status, year and refit, length, beam, draught, legal day and night capacities, cabins, stabilisation, shade, swim platform, tender and crew. Maximum brochure speed is not a route promise. Ask for a realistic cruising and fuel assumption for the proposed programme.
Vieux-Port is central between the Palais des Festivals and Le Suquet. Port Canto faces the Lérins Islands and publishes capacity for vessels up to 90 metres, but the harbour office still allocates the berth. Another marina or tender pickup may be more practical. The parent yacht charter service and Cannes destination page help align the wider stay.
REQUEST VIP requires before publishing figures. Compare fee, tax, fuel, delivery, berth, tender, crew, food, beverages, toys, transfers, overtime, deposit, weather and cancellation.
Itinerary Ideas, Crew and Water Toys
For a local day, the yacht can focus on Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat subject to mooring and landing. The channel between the islands has a 5-knot limit, while the authorised mooring zone has a 3-knot limit. A longer route may consider Cap d'Antibes, the Estérel coast or another Riviera port after the captain checks time and conditions.
Confirm captain, deck and service crew, meal plan and dietary deadline. Every tender and toy must appear on the signed inventory. Motorised equipment faces operating-zone and qualification limits, and the captain may suspend it. .
Speed, Fuel and Riviera Range
Do not build the schedule from top speed. Port limits, the 300-metre coastal band, traffic, swell and passenger comfort reduce the useful average. A faster passage can also carry a different fuel cost. The estimate should explain whether fuel is included, capped, estimated or reconciled after use.
Rank the essential destination and latest return. A Cannes-to-islands programme provides more time at anchor than a long coast run; Cap d'Antibes or Estérel changes the balance. Multi-day use needs separate cabins, night capacity, ports and delivery conditions.
Mooring, Island Access and Events
From 1 May through 30 September, Cannes operates a 28-buoy ZMEL north of Sainte-Marguerite for vessels from 6 to 20 metres. Larger motor yachts cannot assume access and may need another lawful plan. No-anchor areas protect the seabed. The captain must use current charts and harbour instructions.
During Film Festival or congress dates, berth, road and security pressure rises. Yacht, berth and event admission are separate confirmations. Coordinate official access through the Cannes Film Festival service and avoid describing the charter as an official event product.
Motor-Yacht Contract Review
Match brochure and agreement: exact yacht, operator, flag, commercial certificate, insurance, capacities, crew, dates, hours, embarkation and redelivery. Record fuel, tax, delivery, ports, tender, provisions, drinks, toys, transfers, overtime, deposit, cancellation and weather. Define any substitution in measurable terms.
Keep one written operating sheet available to every confirmed service lead.
For deck space, compare Cannes catamarans; for an hours-based product, see Cannes day charter; for more cabins and service depth, review Cannes superyachts.
