A corporate event on the water in Cannes is not a packaged tour but a designed corporate format with measurable KPIs and a media asset at the end. We work from Vieux Port de Cannes with a vetted partner fleet (at least five years of commercial chartering, a valid GDPR data-processing agreement, MCA- or RYA-qualified skippers). Every programme is covered by a single €3M insurance policy with no extra excess for participants.

Cannes earned its place in our portfolio against three criteria: the operational maturity of the Vieux Port de Cannes infrastructure, the density of seasonal partners (restaurants, wineries, DMCs), and its reputation among corporate procurement teams. Marina fees are standardised against a fixed price list held 12 months ahead, which makes the estimate predictable and clears the filters of finance departments at Big Four and Fortune 500 level.

A large corporate event for 50-150 guests with a flotilla of catamarans and motor yachts, a programme ashore, and chef-led catering at a premium venue. The client leaves with a structured report for HR/L&D carrying pre/post-event NPS metrics, a set of high-resolution branded photography (200+ frames) and a 3-5 minute edited video asset for corporate communications. The programme is fully compatible with ESG KPIs: we use shore power, electronic moorings and partners working to Blue Flag certification or the regional equivalent. France is a member of the EU, which keeps documentation straightforward for most European travellers.

FAQ

What buyers ask us most.

Eight questions we receive every week from HR directors and CEOs. Not finding yours? Drop us a line — we reply within 24 hours.

How much does a corporate event on the water in Cannes cost?
The base range is €600-900 per person per night. The price covers the yacht, the crew, fuel, marina fees, basic catering and €3M insurance. The exact estimate depends on group size and season — we send it within 24 hours of the brief.
What is the maximum group size for a corporate event on the water in Cannes?
Vieux Port de Cannes can host a flotilla of 12-15 yachts at once, which corresponds to a group of 70-90 participants. For larger programmes (100+ people) we add partner berths within 30 minutes of the base and spread the logistics across them.
When is the best time to plan a corporate event on the water in Cannes?
The best windows are the start and end of the season: less tourist traffic, prices 15-20% lower, better yacht availability. The full season in Cannes runs from May to September. Book four to six months ahead for peak dates.
What level of English do the crews in Cannes have?
The standard is 4/5 across all skippers and marina officers. All briefings and the contract are handled in English, and the on-site ops manager is fluent. We can arrange additional language support on request.
How is the transfer from NCE airport organised?
30 minutes by Mercedes V-Class minivan between NCE and Vieux Port de Cannes. For groups of 40 or more we arrange a chartered coach with a coordinator. We book all flights 90 days ahead of the programme and lock the rate by contract.
