Cannes Film Festival
Yacht Charter
The definitive guide to experiencing cinema's most glamorous event from a superyacht in the Vieux Port. Red carpet access, VIP parties, and the Riviera at your stern.
The Festival
Cinema's Most Glamorous Stage
Every May, the small Riviera city of Cannes transforms into the global capital of cinema. For twelve days, the world's most celebrated directors, actors, and producers converge on La Croisette — and with them come the superyachts. The Vieux Port fills with some of the most impressive vessels afloat, their sundecks becoming the most exclusive viewing platforms for the red carpet below.
A yacht charter during the Cannes Film Festival offers something no hotel suite or villa can match: a private floating residence in the heart of the action, with the freedom to escape to the open sea whenever you choose. From your sundeck, you watch the festival unfold — the arrivals, the photographers, the evening glow of the Palais des Festivals. By day, you cruise to the Îles de Lérins, Saint-Tropez, or the calanques of the Esterel.
Blue Charter has organised yacht charters for the Cannes Film Festival for discerning clients who understand that the festival experience extends far beyond the screening room. We handle everything — berth allocation, red carpet invitations, VIP party access, beach club reservations, and private chef coordination — so you simply arrive and enjoy.

Beyond the Yacht
Red Carpet Access
Through our network of festival contacts, we arrange invitations to official screenings, premieres, and the Opening and Closing ceremonies. Your concierge coordinates timing so you step from tender to red carpet seamlessly.
Private Parties & Galas
The Cannes Film Festival is as much about the parties as the films. We secure access to the most coveted events — amfAR, Chopard, de Grisogono, and exclusive yacht parties hosted by studios and luxury brands.
Beach Club Reservations
Cannes' private beaches transform during the festival into exclusive venues. We reserve premium positions at Baoli Beach, Nikki Beach, La Plage du Martinez, and the legendary Le Majestic Barrière beach.
Helicopter & Jet Transfers
Arrive in style with private helicopter transfers from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport directly to your yacht, or arrange jet transfers from any European city. We coordinate all logistics for seamless arrivals.
