Catamarans
Families and groups wanting space, stability and shallow-water anchorages
Catamaran charter in Cannes
A catamaran trades the heel of a monohull for stability and sheer space. Two hulls mean a wide, flat deck, a shaded cockpit, a trampoline forward for sunbathing and a shallow draught that tucks into anchorages bigger boats cannot reach. For a family day or a group that wants room to spread out, it is often the smartest choice on the Côte d'Azur.
Who charters a catamaran
Families with children, groups of friends and anyone prone to seasickness gravitate to catamarans. The motion is gentle, the deck space is generous, and guests can move between sun and shade without crowding. The shallow draught means you can anchor close in off the Îles de Lérins or the coves of Cap d'Antibes.
What to expect on board
Catamaran charters run to the MYBA standard with a professional crew. Cabins sit in the hulls, living space is up top, and the wide swim platform between the sterns makes getting in and out of the water effortless — ideal with children or for a long lunch at anchor. Many carry paddleboards and snorkelling gear as standard.
Itineraries from Cannes
The catamaran's stability suits the classic Lérins day, lazy mornings at anchor and a gentle coastal cruise toward Golfe-Juan or Antibes. With shallow draught you reach calmer, shallower water for swimming, and the flat deck makes the journey as comfortable as the destination.
How it is priced
Catamaran charter is offered by quote, set by the yacht, the season and the itinerary, with the MYBA agreement and provisioning detailed before you commit. Our brokers match the right catamaran to your group and the day you have planned.
Good to know
A catamaran gives you more usable space per metre than any monohull, which is why families often find it the best value on the water for a group day. The charter fee covers yacht and crew; fuel, food and berths fall under the Advance Provisioning Allowance. Because the draught is shallow you reach swimming spots the bigger yachts cannot, and the flat, stable deck keeps even reluctant sailors comfortable. Tell our brokers how many you are and whether children are aboard, and they will size the catamaran to the day. Because catamarans are popular for family weeks across the summer, the most spacious examples in the Bay of Cannes are reserved early, so it is worth starting the conversation as soon as your dates are fixed.
