The New Cannes Office!

It was a momentous occasion when the Boatbookings team up-rooted itself from its previous office location in Sophia Antipolis to return to Cannes and a new office at 47 Avenue St Louis – a sign of Boatbookings continued expansion and success in the yacht industry.

It is important for us to be in Cannes because it means we are right on top of what is going on on the French Riviera. It means we can solidify our already close links with suppliers and CA’s and can react to any problems by going direct to to their office. It is but a ten minute walk to the port and we can see and board the very yachts that we are proposing to our clients. This is so important as it means we have first hand knowledge of these yachts; their strengths and weaknesses and means we can select the perfect yacht for a clients charter. For example, Rhino – a Riva Domino 86 is ever present in the Cannes port and we regularly walk past her distinctive lines and unique colour. She comes highly recommended here at Boatbookings!

Our fun and dynamic team made light work of the mountain of chairs and tables that needed assembling, and by the end of the afternoon we were standing in a brand new office – ready for a busy summer ahead!
