Why Choose Cannes for a Day Charter
Cannes combines accessibility with stunning natural scenery. The old port sits at the foot of Le Suquet, and within minutes you're cruising toward protected marine environments or dramatic coastal landscapes.
Popular Day Charter Routes from Cannes
Lérins Islands
The islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat are the jewels of a Cannes day charter. Swim in sheltered bays, snorkel over seagrass meadows, and visit the monastery on Saint-Honorat for wine tasting.
Esterel Coast
Head west toward the red volcanic cliffs of the Esterel Massif. The contrast of red rock against blue sea is extraordinary, and the coves along this stretch are among the Riviera's least crowded.
East Toward Antibes & Cap d'Antibes
Cruise east past the old walls of Antibes toward the exclusive Cap d'Antibes peninsula. Anchor in the Garoupe area for lunch and swimming.
