Charter in Cannes: A Private Day at Sea
A family yacht charter in Cannes offers a wonderful way to discover the French Riviera together. Enjoy a private cruise, admire the coastline, spend time around the Lérins Islands and create a day at sea that suits everyone, from younger children to teenagers and adults.
With the right yacht and a flexible itinerary, a private day on the water can combine relaxation, swimming when conditions allow, lunch onboard and beautiful Mediterranean scenery.
Choosing the Right Yacht for Your Family
The best yacht depends on your family size, the ages of the children and the experience you want.
A motor yacht can be ideal for a shorter coastal cruise, while a catamaran offers generous deck space and a relaxed layout. A sailing yacht may appeal to families who enjoy a quieter experience under sail.
When choosing, consider shaded seating, easy access to the water, toilets, cabin space and suitable life jackets for children. Always confirm the yacht’s facilities and safety arrangements before booking.
Discover the Lérins Islands from Cannes
Just offshore from Cannes, the Lérins Islands provide a beautiful setting for a family day out. The islands offer a change of scenery from the city and can be included in a private itinerary depending on the yacht, weather and local regulations.

Plan a Relaxed Itinerary for All Ages
A successful family charter does not need a complicated route. Allow time for a comfortable cruise, a meal onboard and breaks to enjoy the surroundings.
A half-day charter may suit families with younger children, while older children may enjoy a longer outing. The captain can advise on suitable cruising areas and whether swimming stops are appropriate on the day.
Comfort and Safety on Board
Before departure, discuss your family’s needs with the charter team. Ask about shaded areas, seating, swimming access, life jackets in suitable sizes and any restrictions for children.
Bring sun protection, hats, swimwear, towels and any personal essentials. If you require specific catering or drinks, arrange these in advance.
What to Consider Before Booking
Before confirming your family yacht charter, check:
- The yacht’s maximum guest capacity.
- The ages of children and suitable safety equipment.
- Shaded areas and onboard facilities.
- Charter duration and departure marina.
- Fuel, catering and other possible additional costs.
