The route
Where does a yacht charter from Saint-Tropez to Cannes take you?
A classic Riviera run east from Saint-Tropez to Cannes and the Lérins Islands — anchorages off Sainte-Marguerite and lunch in the Bay of Cannes.
We can run it as one long day with the wind behind us, or draw it out over a cruise with nights at anchor. The stops are yours to choose; we hold the helm and the timing.
Cannes and the Lérins are also the natural first leg of a longer cruise. On a weekly yacht charter from Saint-Tropez, the yacht anchors overnight off Sainte-Marguerite, then carries on east towards Antibes and Monaco, or turns back west to Porquerolles and the Îles d’Hyères — a full week aboard with crew, from your floating base in the Gulf.

The other way round
Yacht charter from Cannes
Prefer to start on the Croisette? The same crewed service runs the other way round: we board you in Cannes, then cruise west to Saint-Tropez or spend the day around the Lérins Islands and return to Cannes by evening.

Boarding at Port Canto or the Vieux-Port
Port Pierre Canto, at the eastern end of the Croisette, and the Vieux-Port below Le Suquet are the usual pick-up points for a yacht charter in Cannes. The exact berth is confirmed with your quote, depending on the yacht and on availability on the day.

Which yachts for a Cannes charter
Day boats and open cruisers for a few hours on the water, flybridge motor yachts for a family or a group of friends, crewed superyachts for longer stays along the Riviera. The classes and 2026 rates are the same as in the tables above.
—
With a skipper or a full crew
Day boats and smaller motor yachts go out with a professional skipper; larger yachts come with a full crew. Every Yats charter is crewed, so you never have to take the helm yourself.

Yes, in good conditions — it is a long, full day under way with brief stops. Many prefer to spread it over a short cruise with a night at anchor; we advise on what suits your party.
A berth in the Vieux Port of Cannes can be requested and is quoted separately; in season it is not guaranteed. Most guests prefer to stay at anchor off the Lérins and take the tender in.
Of course. Antibes, Cannes, Villefranche or a longer swim at the Lérins — the route is a suggestion. Tell us what you'd like to see and we shape it around the sea.
On quote. Distance, yacht, season and any berthing all factor in, so we price each itinerary individually — clearly and in full before you confirm.
