Cannes Film Festival Yacht Charter

The Festival de Cannes is the world's most prestigious film event — and the most glamorous way to experience it is from a private yacht on the Croisette. Navélia arranges Film Festival yacht charters with harbour berths, event access, and bespoke hospitality.

Why Charter a Yacht During the Cannes Film Festival?

During the Festival, Cannes transforms into a global stage. The Croisette fills with celebrities, directors, and industry figures. Hotels book out months in advance and charge premium rates. A private yacht offers something no hotel can — your own floating residence with unparalleled views, privacy, and the freedom to escape the crowds whenever you choose.

By day, cruise to the pristine Lérins Islands or the dramatic Esterel coast while the Festival buzzes ashore. By evening, return to your harbour berth and step directly onto La Croisette for premieres, parties, and beach screenings under the stars.

  • Day Charter: From €5,000. Escape the Festival crowds with a morning cruise, return for evening events. Perfect for industry professionals attending specific screenings.

The Cannes Experience by Yacht

After the evening screenings, return to your yacht for a nightcap under the stars while the Croisette lights shimmer across the water.
