REQUEST VIP coordinates superyacht charter in Cannes for Riviera cruising, hosted groups and event-period stays. Send dates, guests, cabins, service needs and programme; the concierge can verify an authorised yacht listing, commercial status, crew and berth or tender plan. Yacht, port, event and route availability remain separate written confirmations.

Key Facts

  • Port Pierre Canto publishes 553 berths for vessels up to 90 metres and draughts from 2 to 7 metres.
  • Vieux-Port sits beside the Palais des Festivals and hosts major maritime events.
  • Berth acceptance depends on exact length, beam, draught, dates and harbour allocation.

Available Yachts, Rates and Embarkation Ports

Request the exact yacht, authorised listing party, flag, commercial certificate, insurance, dimensions, year and refit. Compare cabins, bed layout, cruising and overnight capacities, stabilisation, dining, shade, accessibility, tenders, toys and crew accommodation. Visitors during a reception remain within a separate legal limit.

Port Canto can accept yachts up to its published dimensional limits, but that does not establish a berth. Vieux-Port offers a central city position, also subject to allocation and event use. A tender or another Riviera marina may be required. Coordinate the stay through the Cannes destination service and the parent yacht charter hub.

REQUEST VIP needs before publishing figures. Compare delivery, berth, agent, fuel, tender, provisions, beverages, communications, laundry, transfers, deposit, cancellation and weather.

Itinerary Ideas, Crew and Water Toys

A multi-day programme may combine Cannes, Cap d'Antibes, Saint-Tropez or Monaco, subject to distance, weather and ports. A local period can use the Îles de Lérins, but a large yacht cannot assume access to the seasonal ZMEL, which is limited to vessels from 6 to 20 metres. The captain must approve lawful anchoring and tender routes.

Confirm captain, engineering, deck, interior and chef roles where included. Record dietary and provisioning deadlines, cabin allocation and service hours. Tenders and toys require a current inventory, licences, instructors and approved areas. .

Berth, Tender and Event-Week Planning

During the Cannes Film Festival and major congresses, berth, security and road conditions can change. A charter agreement does not grant an event berth, view, invitation or Palais credential. Each component needs its own supplier and terms. REQUEST VIP is an independent concierge service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Cannes Film Festival.

Connect any official-access request through the Cannes Film Festival page. The yacht confirmation should identify whether guests board alongside, by tender or at another marina, plus port credentials, meeting pin, tender capacity, luggage and mobility assistance.

Guest Service and Security File

Create one controlled file for identification, arrivals, cabin assignment, allergies, dietary preferences, children, mobility, swimming confidence, security and outside providers. The operator sets deadlines. Additional staff, entertainers, childcare, instructors, photographers and visitors require advance yacht approval and may alter capacity or insurance.

Privacy expectations should be converted into access lists and communication rules. Do not promise secrecy that a supplier has not contracted. Transfers and private jet charter remain separate confirmations, with buffers for tendering and event traffic.

Contract and Expense Control

Reconcile brochure, specification and agreement before signature: yacht identity, listing authority, contracting entity, dates, delivery condition, capacities, cabins, crew, port and cruising area. Check payments, holder of funds, deposit, damage, substitution, cancellation, force majeure and weather.

Variable expenses need an approval process, reporting method and unused-balance treatment. Every berth or anchorage should be labelled confirmed or provisional. A Cannes motor yacht may fit a smaller group; a Cannes catamaran offers a different deck format.

Record the harbour contact in the final operating sheet for guests.

How It Works

  2. Receive with authorised yachts and berth logic.
  3. Review specification, crew, contract, full cost structure and event conditions.
  4. Confirm, then finalise guest file, provisioning, transfers and captain-approved route.

FAQ

Can a superyacht berth in central Cannes?

It may use Vieux-Port or Port Canto only with a live allocation. Exact dimensions, draught, dates and harbour conditions decide suitability.

Is a Cannes Film Festival berth included with the yacht?

No. Yacht charter, event-period berth and Festival access are separate products, each subject to written availability and terms.

How much does a Cannes superyacht cost?

REQUEST VIP requires before stating a range. Base fee, tax, fuel, berth, delivery and provisions shape the total.

Can a large yacht anchor by the Lérins Islands?

No position should be assumed. The captain must use current charts, anchoring rules and harbour instructions, with a lawful tender plan.

Are chef and water toys included?

Only the signed yacht specification confirms crew and equipment. Licences, instructors, ages and operating zones may restrict toy use.

Can we host additional event guests onboard?

Only with operator approval and within the documented visitor limit. Berth, security, catering and insurance conditions also apply.
