CANNES FILM FESTIVAL · 11-22 MAY 2027

Yacht Charter for the Cannes Film Festival

Ocean Five arranges private yacht charters during the Cannes Film Festival. Yachts are berthed at the Vieux Port, alongside the Palais des Festivals. Services include press conferences, private parties, VIP receptions and branded yacht hospitality. The agency has worked in Cannes since 2002.

WHY A YACHT AT THE FESTIVAL

A private venue a few minutes from the red carpet

Every May, Cannes becomes the center of the film world. The Croisette is crowded, the hotels are full and meetings happen everywhere.

A yacht at the Vieux Port gives you a private place close to the Palais des Festivals. You can walk to the red carpet events and return quickly to your own space to welcome buyers, press and partners. Public appearances on one side, private moments on the other.

The yacht is also a strong branding platform. Whether you host a corporate reception, a product launch or an after-party, your event happens in a setting that guests remember. If you want to promote your film to executives in Cannes, a crewed yacht gives you the stage.

In 2025, the Festival de Cannes counted 16,087 industry professionals and 4,229 journalists, according to the FIAPF database. The festival runs for twelve days each May and brings the film industry to the Croisette. A yacht at the Vieux Port gives sponsors, brands and film professionals a private place to host guests a few minutes from the Palais. Official accreditation and programme at festival-cannes.com.
