7-Day Weekly Yacht Charter in Cannes
A weekly yacht charter from Cannes puts a full crew, private cabins and a flexible route at your disposal for seven days, not just an afternoon. Mornings start with the skipper reading wind and guest mood before setting the day's course among nearby islands and bays, so the week unfolds as a proper holiday afloat rather than a single outing repeated.

One Crew, Seven Days
The same skipper and crew stay with you the whole week, learning preferences fast so the routine feels settled rather than repeated introductions each morning.
-
Weekly Rate Advantage
Booking seven days as one charter costs less than stringing together separate day charters, with the saving reflected directly in the week's rate.
-
Flexible Daily Routing
Each morning the skipper adjusts the plan around wind, swell and what guests want to see next, so the itinerary stays personal rather than fixed.
What does a week-long yacht charter in Cannes actually include?
A weekly charter means the yacht becomes a floating base for the whole stay: guests sleep aboard in proper cabins each night, rather than returning to a hotel after a few hours at sea. The crew stays constant for all seven days, so there is no handover, no relearning of preferences, and no reintroduction each morning.
Routes are built day by day rather than fixed in advance. The skipper reads wind and sea state each morning and proposes anchorages, beach clubs or island stops accordingly, adjusting around what guests enjoyed the day before. This suits families and groups of friends who want the yacht to be the holiday itself, not an excursion from one.
Pricing for the week covers charter, fuel, food, APA and mooring as separate lines, so the total cost of a week afloat is clear from the outset.

How a Charter Week Runs
-
Share Your Dates
Send preferred July or August dates early, ideally three to four months ahead, along with guest numbers and the kind of week you have in mind.
-
Confirm Yacht and Budget
Once a yacht is matched to the group, the week's price is broken down into charter, fuel, food and mooring so costs are clear before booking.
-
Board and Settle In
Guests board at the home port, cabins are assigned, and the skipper talks through a first draft route based on forecast and preferences.
-
Days Adapt as You Go
Each morning the plan is revisited: wind, swell and what guests want to do next shape where the yacht heads and how long it stays.
-
Return and Disembark
The yacht returns to its home port at the end of the week, where disembarkation closes out a stay built entirely around the group's own pace.
Who does a week-long charter actually suit?
A seven-day charter works best for families and groups of friends who want the yacht to carry the whole holiday rather than fill one afternoon of it. With cabins for overnight stays, there is no daily packing and unpacking between a hotel and a tender — guests sleep where they sailed, waking already anchored off the next bay. Groups who value continuity benefit most: the same crew learns names, meal timings and swimming habits by day two, and the skipper tailors each day's plan accordingly rather than running a fixed script.
This format also suits hosts who want flexibility built in rather than negotiated — plans can shift with weather or mood without renegotiating a new day charter each time. Corporate groups booking an extended stay for a team, or multi-generational families wanting shared time without shared cabins, both fit this pattern comfortably, provided the group is genuinely planning to live aboard for the week rather than use the yacht for occasional day trips.
What determines the final cost of a week aboard?
The quoted weekly rate covers the yacht, crew for seven days, cabins, bedlinen and towels, and the berth in the home port. Several costs then scale with how the week is actually used, which is why they are separated out rather than folded into one number:
- Fuel and mooring (APA) if the itinerary visits ports beyond the home base
- Food and a chef if guests want meals prepared on board rather than ashore
- Airport transfer if guests are not arriving at the yacht directly
- Water toys such as SUP boards, a seabob or a jet ski, if requested
Being clear about which of these apply before departure means the week's final cost is known in advance rather than settled at the end. For July and August departures, confirming the yacht and these extras three to four months ahead also secures better availability across the fleet.
Questions before you book
-
How much does it cost to charter a yacht for a week in Cannes?
Weekly rates on this fleet start from €11900 for seven days. The figure covers yacht, crew and cabins; fuel, food, other-port mooring and water toys are quoted separately once the route and guest preferences are set.
-
Is a week-long charter cheaper than booking separate day charters?
Yes. A seven-day charter is priced as one block rather than seven individual day rates, which brings the per-day cost down compared with booking the same yacht day by day.
-
Does the same crew stay for the whole week?
Yes, one skipper and crew remain on board for the full seven days, rather than rotating between charters, so the group is never relearning preferences with a new team.
-
Can the route change once the week has started?
Yes. The skipper reviews wind and sea conditions each morning and adjusts the plan with the group, so the route responds to the week as it unfolds rather than following a fixed schedule set in advance.
-
How far ahead should a week in July or August be booked?
Three to four months ahead is advisable for peak summer dates, since yachts and preferred weeks fill early across the fleet during July and August.
