Chartering for Events and Celebrations in Cannes, France

Cannes is perhaps the only city in the world that boasts a world-class conference facility directly adjacent to a port capable of handling superyachts.  This is why so many conferences and festivals such as MIPIM, MIDEM, MIPCOM, Cannes Lions, and of course, the Cannes Film Festival, come back to Cannes each year.

Cannes, with its two ports, nearby islands, quaint Old Town and ample restaurants is also the ideal setting for corporate events, team building and family celebrations.  Put simply, Cannes provides a superb backdrop for virtually any meeting or celebration.

The numerous events in Cannes have spawned a wide selection of yachts that specialize in events of all types.  If you have an event to plan, there are catamarans that holds 56 day passengers for a day cruise to a superyacht that can hold an event for 250, and everything in between. Whereas most luxury yachts can hold a maximum of 12 guests, these yachts have special licensing and insurance so that they can meet your large party’s needs.  Please see our current list of recommended Cannes Event Yachts.

We are releasing this week a newsletter dedicated to Events in the French Riviera, featuring our current selection of top event yachts.  You can get a preview by clicking on our February Newsletter – Events in the South of France. And take a serious look into having fun with your group on the French Riviera, it will be the event of a lifetime!

139ft. Holland Jachtbouw Charter Yacht CALLIOPE: Innovative Build, Inspired Design

CALLIOPE is an elegant 139ft. Holland Jachtbouw, whose majesty is reflected in her name. CALLIOPE in Greek mythology is the muse of epic poetry, the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. The goddess was Homer’s muse, said to inspire his epic works. CALLIOPE, with transoceanic range and capability, navigates the seas of today with elegance and assurance, inspired by a distant past when Odysseus roamed the oceans of the world.

On board CALLIOPE, the immediate impression of sophistication and refinement is augmented by impressive design innovations that are the result of input from an experienced Owner. On CALLIOPE the details are as remarkable as the overall ambiance. For example, the custom made, graceful mermaid door pulls, which stand alone as works of art, were designed by the Owner.

Other subtleties on board CALLIOPE, not immediately visible, raise the level of livability and service. The main deck salon is furnished in understated elegance featuring neutral tones with touches of delphinium blue, and connects to the formal dining room. The space can be left open for entertaining or separated by sliding shoji doors for a more intimate setting. Cleverly concealed cabinetry allows for easy access to tableware and the crew can provide discreet service through an electronic pocket door leading to the pantry and commercial galley.

The guest staterooms on board luxury yacht CALLIOPE, located on the lower deck, are finished in a soft lime oak with French provincial decor. The crew is able to service the guests by way of a secret, soundproof door in the paneling that leads to the crew quarters.

The bridge deck is a very popular area with guests and the main social area on CALLIOPE. State-of-the-art equipment allows the space to transition from a library to a media room to a party deck. The salon’s full width folding French doors open up to the aft deck providing a seamless transition from interior to exterior creating an even larger al fresco dining and entertaining area.

CALLIOPE is an intrinsically chic yacht that even the most demanding charter clients will recognize as superior in all respects. This unparalleled superyacht is an excellent charter option for corporate retreats, or families and friends that demand five star service and luxurious accommodations aboard a prestigious vessel.

Our Charter Experts On Board LIONSHARE: Nautical Tradition, Contemporary Aesthetic

Our first impressions when setting foot on board LIONSHARE during the 2011 Antigua Charter Yacht Show were of an incomparably handsome yacht dedicated to enjoying life at sea without too much distraction, in other words, an excellent yachtsman`s yacht. Spaces are distinctly free from clutter creating a serene environment. Walkways are generous and the orderly design and placement of furnishings facilitates circulation throughout the yacht.

The interior of this luxurious Heesen 130 was designed by Clifford Denn and features contemporary architecture and furnishings in opposing dark and pale tones with dark wood highlights and rich hardwood floors. The atmosphere is sophisticated and stunning. The main deck on LIONSHARE features a plush lounging area with only the suggestion of separation from the dining area produced by two columns and a buffet cabinet.

LIONSHARE features accommodations for 11 guests in five ensuite staterooms. Crisp white linens, soft lighting and minimal furnishings create a zen-like environment conducive to relaxation.

LIONSHARE features plenty of open deck living space and an especially awesome, forward facing Jacuzzi with a generous surround of sun pads. It was easy to imagine sitting in the Jacuzzi, making a grand entrance into a new and exciting port of call, tropical cocktail in hand, magnificent view all around.

LIONSHARE is currently available for charter in the Caribbean with plans for summer 2012 charters in the Eastern Mediteranean region. This is an excellent yacht for discriminating guests who require the utmost in service and appreciate nautical tradition with a contemporary aesthetic.
