Day charter

Day charter from Cannes

A day charter is the easiest way onto the water: out in the morning, lunch at anchor, back to the Bay of Cannes by evening. No overnight aboard, no large crew to manage — just a single, well-shaped day along the Côte d'Azur.

A typical day

Most days run to the Îles de Lérins for a morning swim in the channel, lunch on board, then an afternoon ashore on Sainte-Marguerite before the run home. Faster boats reach Saint-Tropez for lunch and back; quieter ones drift under sail off Cap d'Antibes. The radius stays tight so the day never feels rushed.

The right boat for one day

A fast motor yacht for a lunch run, a sailing yacht for a calm day under canvas, or a stable catamaran for a family swim — we match the boat to the day you have in mind, not the other way round.

Boarding and timing

Boarding is from the Vieux-Port de Cannes or Port Canto, usually around 9 or 10 a.m. to make the most of the calm morning sea, with a return before sunset. In high season the best boats for a given day book up quickly, so early reservation matters. Weather sets the plan — a firm mistral will send us to the sheltered coves of the Cap d'Antibes rather than across the gulf to Saint-Tropez. That flexibility is part of the service: we shape the route on the morning itself rather than forcing a fixed itinerary onto a changeable sea. If your group is new to the coast, tell us the mood you want — a lively lunch run or a quiet swim day — and we match the boat and the route to it, then brief you simply before you cast off. Most day charters from Cannes run between six and eight hours, easily long enough for a swim, a lunch at anchor and an unhurried cruise home.

Always by quote

Day charter is offered by quote: the right proposal depends on the boat, the season and where you want to go. Tell us the date and the kind of day you want, and we present boats that genuinely fit.
