Superyacht charter for star-studded events in Cannes & Monaco

Cannes is truly the epicentre of world cinema for 10 magical days during the film festival, which welcomes a plethora of stars, directors and celebrities to this elegant seaside ville. In 2018, the event will celebrate 71 fabulous years, debuting a diverse range of films only outshone by the champagne-fuelled parties along La Croisette and in the salons of its famous hotels.

A luxury charter vacation aboard your own private charter yacht gives you and your guests unparalleled access to the cinematic splendour of the Cannes Film Festival. Whether moored offshore or berthed at the splendid port, your charter vessel is front row for celebrity arrivals, and the lights, camera, action of the celebrations.

You have your own prestigious yacht for entertaining, socialising and relaxing, while you enjoy the premium cuisine, tailored to your preferences, and enjoy the sights and sounds of celebration among the glittering fleet quayside.

Just one week later, Monaco hosts the F1 and thousands of motorsports fans descend on this pocket-sized Principality. Praised as "the true driver's circuit" for its challenging mix of loops, curves and lightning fast straights along what must be the most scenic route in the world. The Monaco Grand Prix is also described as "like riding a bicycle around your living room" for its hazards.

No Formula 1 race or circuit can match the glamour and the challenge of the Monaco Grand Prix. From Casino Square to the world's most famous hairpin, through the tunnel and past the stunning line-up of mega yachts, this stellar event is a compelling reason to take to the water and entertain your guests aboard your own private luxury charter yacht.

The trackside action is mesmerizing, and charter guests have premium seats along the marina at Port Hercule, so close to the track you can see the expressions on the drivers' faces, yet far from the crowded streets and venues teaming with international tourists.

When you tire of the track and sophisticated attractions of Monte Carlo, your Captain can plan an itinerary along the French Riviera to some of the most idyllic and tranquil anchorages he is familiar with for your complete relaxation soaking up the Mediterranean sunshine.
