Cannes, home to the famous film festival, always proves to be a popular choice for yacht charters. With its sun, sea and sparkle (yes, the tarmac by the Palais des Festivals is in fact sparkly!) it’s obvious why people love it so. If you walk down the Croisette, the stretch between the two ports, on a hot summer’s day, Cannes is alive with people, whether they’re looking for beach restaurants or designer shops.

If you head down to Port Pierre Canto, you will come across L’Écrin, with their beach for relaxing and sipping cocktails, and restaurant for indulging in fine dining. Whether you want to grab a drink at their lounge bar, or try some of the fresh Mediterranean cuisine, stop off at L’Ecrin during your charter and enjoy yourself at one of Cannes’ most popular beach restaurants!

A great boat to get you to L’Écrin is SUR L’ONDE II, an impressive Baia Atlantica 78. Accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, she will take you around the French Riviera at a maximum of 48 knots! And if you get a bit tired of cruising, why not get picked up by helicopter? If you’re not sunbathing at the front of the yacht, you can fly your friends out to visit you at sea.
