The week

Cannes Yachting Festival, Curated by Lund Group

Each September, Cannes gives its two ports over to yachts shown afloat: launches and debuts, shipyards and builders, brokers, designers, tenders, marine technology and the suppliers who sit behind all of it. It is where a season's worth of charter and purchase conversations happen in a single week.

Lund Group arranges the week around you — a yacht as your base, private aviation into the Riviera, helicopters and cars, somewhere to stay, dining and the concierge detail that keeps appointments running. One relationship, one adviser, one itinerary.

We are not the event organiser and we do not trade in promises about access. We tell you what is genuinely achievable for your dates and build from there.

What we arrange

Six Parts of the Same Week

Yacht charter

A chartered yacht as your base for the week — meetings aboard, dining, and the bay of Cannes when you want to step away from the docks.

Yacht sales & acquisition

Support through shortlisting, specifications, introductions and viewings where the yacht in question is available to see.

Private aviation

Jets into Nice Côte d'Azur, with Cannes-Mandelieu possible depending on aircraft and operator.

Helicopter transfers

Nice, Monaco and Saint-Tropez to Cannes, coordinated with your arrival and the rest of the itinerary.

Stays & mobility

Hotel suites, villas, chauffeurs and cars, arranged around a week when the town is at its busiest.

Concierge

Dining, staff, entertaining, gifting and the small requests that make a working week feel effortless.

Private itinerary

Tell Us What You Need

Yachts to Explore Around Cannes

Every specification and rate shown comes from our own charter listings. Festival week is one of the busiest of the Riviera year, so confirm your dates with us before planning around a particular yacht.

Charter during the festival

A Base on the Water

Private meetings

A yacht is a quiet room in a busy week — for conversations that do not belong on a stand.

Client entertaining

Lunch and dinner aboard with crew and a chef, minutes from both ports.

Before and after

The Riviera empties as the festival closes. Many clients extend into a week of cruising.

Extended charter

Saint-Tropez, Antibes, Monaco, Corsica and Sardinia from the same starting point.

Berths, positioning and access during festival week depend on the vessel, your dates, marina availability and the rules in force. Nothing is promised until it is confirmed.

Acquisition

Visiting Cannes to Buy a Yacht?

A show week is the fastest way to compare yachts in person. We help you use it well — and we are clear that we do not represent every yacht displayed at the festival.

01

Brief

Size, type, use, cruising area, crew and budget.

02

Shortlist

What genuinely fits, and what only looks like it does.

03

Questions

Specifications, history, refits and running costs.

04

Viewings

Arranged where the yacht is available to see during the week.

05

Next steps

Surveys, negotiation and management, with the right specialists involved.

Private aviation

Arriving on the Riviera

Nice Côte d'Azur is the usual gateway, roughly half an hour from Cannes by road and minutes by helicopter. Cannes-Mandelieu is closer still, but depends on aircraft type and operator, so we confirm it per flight rather than assuming it.

Helicopters

Minutes Along the Coast

Festival week puts pressure on the coast road. A helicopter turns the transfer from Nice, Monaco or Saint-Tropez into a short hop, scheduled against your flights.

  • Nice Côte d'Azur to Cannes
  • Monaco to Cannes
  • Saint-Tropez to Cannes
  • Cannes to a yacht at anchor

All helicopter movements depend on weather, aircraft and operator availability, airspace, landing permissions and applicable regulations. Nothing is confirmed until the operator confirms it.

Cars & Chauffeurs

Chauffeured arrivals, airport and hotel transfers, and cars from our own listings for the days either side of the show. Traffic and access restrictions around the ports tighten during festival week, so movements are planned rather than improvised.

Festival guide

Everything Around the Show

What the festival is

Europe's first major in-water yacht show of the season, held each September in Cannes, with yachts shown afloat across two ports.

Official dates

The 2027 edition runs 7 – 12 September 2027. Opening hours and access are set by the organisers.

Getting there

Nice Côte d'Azur is the usual gateway, roughly half an hour along the coast, with helicopter and chauffeur transfers into Cannes.

Staying and moving

Cannes is compact and walkable between the ports; cars and chauffeurs matter most for arrivals, dinners and evenings outside town.

Chartering and buying

The week is used as much for viewing and negotiating as for visiting. Charter and purchase conversations often run in parallel.

Beyond the docks

Dining, the Îles de Lérins, and the wider Riviera — the reason to build a few days either side of the show.

Event area

Vieux Port

The historic harbour beside the Palais des Festivals, the heart of the show and its motor-yacht displays.

Event area

Port Canto

At the eastern end of the Croisette, given to sailing yachts and brokerage and larger vessels.

A sample week

Tuesday to Sunday

Tuesday

Arrival

Jet into Nice, helicopter or chauffeur into Cannes, settle aboard or into your suite. A quiet dinner before the week begins.

Wednesday

Opening day

The Vieux Port at its freshest. Appointments through the morning, lunch aboard, Port Canto in the afternoon.

Thursday

Viewings

Scheduled visits, follow-up conversations and time to compare what you have seen properly.

Friday

On the water

A day out to the Îles de Lérins or along the coast, with entertaining aboard in the evening.

Saturday

Decisions

Final appointments, questions raised with brokers and yards, and a plan for what happens next.

Sunday

Departure or extend

A helicopter to your aircraft — or a few days cruising the Riviera as the show closes.

Illustrative itinerary — fully customizable.

What shapes the cost

Honest About Pricing

We do not publish festival-week packages, because a credible number depends entirely on what you want and how early you commit. These are the factors that move it.

  • How early you commit — Cannes fills earlier than most Riviera weeks
  • Yacht size, age and crew levels
  • Length of stay either side of the festival
  • Party size and how much dining is served aboard
  • Aviation category and the airport you arrive into
  • Helicopter and chauffeur movements across the week
  • Accommodation type and how close to the Croisette you want to be
