Ocean Five is an independent yacht charter broker based in Cannes on the French Riviera. We arrange crewed day charters and week-long voyages from Cannes to Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Antibes, Corsica and Sardinia. Motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans from 12 to 40 metres.
The French Riviera stretches from Menton on the Italian border to Saint-Tropez in the west, with Cannes at its centre. It is the world’s most popular summer charter destination. In 2025, the Riviera and Monaco ranked first globally for superyacht charter bookings according to MYBA data.
Ocean Five is based in Cannes and operates exclusively on this coastline. We know the ports, the anchorages, the berth allocation systems during congresses and the best local suppliers. Being here year-round gives us access that visiting brokers cannot match.
From Cannes, you can reach the Lerins Islands in 15 minutes, Antibes in 30 minutes, Nice in 1 hour 25 minutes, Monaco in 1 hour 30 and Saint-Tropez in 2 hours 30. A week charter extends to Corsica, Sardinia and beyond.
Leave Cannes in the morning, swim at the Lerins Islands, lunch at anchor and return before sunset. Or sail to Antibes, Monaco or Saint-Tropez.
Seven nights from Cannes to Corsica, Sardinia or along the Riviera to the Italian border. Captain, hostess and chef on board.
During MIPIM, Cannes Lions, TFWA and the other major congresses, a yacht moored at the Vieux Port becomes your private venue. Ocean Five handles berth, catering and logistics.
