Choosing your perfect day charter yacht for this summer in Cannes poses a few potential headaches, due to the sheer amount of yachts that we have available! Hiring a boat in Cannes is not quite as simple as choosing one that you like the look of, with other pertinent factors of crew, itineraries and price being equally as important. This blog seeks to provide clarity and advice to ensure that you charter the very best yacht for your needs.
Step 1: The number of guests vs. the yacht’s capacity
Due to maritime law, the number of guests allowed on board for the majority of yachts is strictly restricted to 12. You should choose a yacht with a slightly higher capacity than your number of guests, to ensure that there is enough room for everyone to socialise and sunbathe comfortably. Please remember that costs per head will sharply rise on our event yachts if you only have 8 guests on a yacht with capacity for 36 passengers. If a yacht says that it has a maximum capacity of 12, please remember that it will be able to accommodate more than this for a party at port.
Step 2: What is your yacht charter budget and what is included in the price?
The charter rate includes full hire of your Cannes day charter yacht and will include the crew or skipper, as appropriate. We have a great selection of yachts that come with a complementary VIP package, which includes a bottle of champagne, soft drinks, a fresh fruit basket and towels. Please ask your broker to see if your yacht come with this package. You are more than welcome to bring your own refreshments or we would be delighted to help you provision. Fuel is either prepaid in part of the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) or paid at the end of the day.
Step 3: What style of yacht can I get for a day charter in Cannes?
99% of yachts available in Cannes for day charters are motor boats. If you want to go to Monaco or St Tropez on your day charter, we would recommend a larger and faster yacht to ensure that you get their speedily and in complete comfort. If you wish to slowly cruise along the French Riviera and visit the beautiful Iles des Lerins, we would recommend a yacht with expansive decks, where you can sit back, relax and soak up the atmosphere of the Côte d’Azur.
