Private Space for Negotiations
A yacht berthed at Vieux Port or Port Canto offers a confidential, controlled environment for one-to-one meetings away from the busy Palais des Festivals schedule.
-
Hospitality That Stands Out
Hosting partners and clients aboard rather than in a hotel suite gives your brand a distinct setting during a week packed with industry receptions and dinners.

Flexible Format, Full Control
Choose a day charter for a reception, a short cruise along the coast if weather allows, or several days moored dockside, scaled to your guest list and schedule.
Where do yachts berth during ILTM Cannes?
ILTM fills Vieux Port and Port Canto with international visitors every edition, and marina space along the Croisette becomes tight well before the opening day. A yacht chartered for the event typically stays Med-moored dockside, within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals, rather than at anchor offshore — practical for guests moving between appointments, receptions and the exhibition floor.
Staying alongside also means guests can step straight from a meeting on the quay onto the yacht, without tender transfers or weather-dependent logistics. Because December sits outside the main Mediterranean season, swell and wind can affect short cruises along the coast, so most charters during ILTM are planned as stationary hospitality bases first, with an optional cruise added only if conditions allow.
Confirming a berth early, rather than adjusting plans once the fleet fills, is the main difference between a yacht that is simply booked and one that is positioned exactly where your programme needs it.
What does a day on board look like for delegates?
A typical day during ILTM runs around the exhibition, not the weather, so the yacht becomes a base that stays comfortable regardless of what December in Cannes delivers. Mornings might be kept free for appointments inside the Palais des Festivals; the yacht is ready from midday for a private lunch, a client meeting in a closed saloon, or simply a quiet space to prepare for the next round of one-to-one sessions.
Evenings are where chartered yachts earn their place in the programme: a reception for industry partners, a seated dinner for a smaller group, or a closing gathering before delegates fly out. Indoor saloons and heated interiors matter more at this time of year than open decks, and yachts in the fleet are selected with that in mind.
Guest numbers across the fleet run up to 12, suiting a focused meeting or an intimate dinner rather than a large public event.
How far ahead should we book, and how do berths work?
Berths around Vieux Port and Port Canto are limited during ILTM, and demand from other events and private clients in Cannes adds further pressure on availability. As a guideline, confirming a yacht about 30 days before the event gives enough time to secure a berth, agree the format — day charter, multi-day stay, or a short cruise — and finalise catering and layout for your group.
Later requests are not impossible, but choice narrows quickly, particularly for the larger yachts in the fleet that suit bigger receptions. Pricing depends on the vessel, the length of charter, the time of year and the services added on top of the day rate, with day rates across the fleet starting from €6,600.
Booking early also allows time to align the charter with your wider ILTM schedule, so the yacht sits inside the programme rather than being arranged as an afterthought once appointments are confirmed.

Questions before you book
-
How far in advance should we book a yacht for ILTM Cannes 2026?
We recommend confirming your charter around 30 days before the event, since Vieux Port and Port Canto berths fill quickly during ILTM and the choice of yacht narrows as the dates approach.
-
What affects the price of a yacht charter during ILTM?
Rates depend on the yacht, the length of charter, the time of year and any added services such as catering or extended hours. Day rates across the fleet start from €6,600, varying with vessel size and format.
-
Do yachts berth dockside or anchor offshore during the event?
Most charters for ILTM stay Med-moored dockside at Vieux Port or Port Canto, close to the Palais des Festivals. Anchoring offshore for a short cruise is possible depending on weather, but dockside berths suit the event's schedule better.
-
How many guests can a yacht accommodate for meetings or receptions?
Guest capacity across our fleet runs up to 12, suited to focused meetings, executive dinners or smaller networking receptions rather than large public gatherings.
