A 60 to 70m motor yacht Cannes in the 2026 summer window (May through October) runs $830,000 to $1,400,000 per week plus 32 to 36 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 26 crew. The bracket's Cannois structural reality is at-anchor by default. The Vieux Port inner basin holds the 30 to 50m envelope on the daily Festival du Film calendar, and the 60m-plus hull anchors in the Vieux Port outer-roads on the Bay of Cannes face with shore tender to the Quai Laubeuf and the Croisette palace-hotel waterfront on the daily structure. Port Pierre Canto on the eastern face holds the 30 to 50m alongside on the Port Canto framework and does not absorb the bracket. The Iles de Lerins on the Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat western face hold the bracket-fit daylight-anchor rotation. The Cannes Festival mid-May, Cannes Lions late-June, MIPCOM mid-October, MIPIM mid-March, and Ferragosto August 15 wider-week pull the structurally tight Vieux Port outer-roads allocation on the 12 to 18 month lead time on the Festival window and the 9 to 12 month lead time on Cannes Lions, MIPCOM, and Ferragosto. The bracket-fit Cannois week routes the central Croisette shore programme through the Hotel Martinez Unbound Collection, the Hôtel Barrière Le Imposing, the Hotel Carlton, the La Palme d'Or Michelin pool, and the Vauban old-town shore-tender restaurant product.
Why the alongside structure does not exist at the bracket
The Vieux Port inner basin constraint. The Vieux Port Cannes inner basin on the Quai Laubeuf and Quai Saint-Pierre framework holds the 30 to 50m envelope on the daily Festival and Cannes Lions guest-routing, and the 60m-plus hull does not fit the Vieux Port inner-basin alongside on the central inner-mole structure. The bracket-fit Vieux Port call runs the outer-roads anchor on the Bay of Cannes face on the prior Capitainerie coordination, with shore tender to the Quai Laubeuf inner pontoon and the Croisette palace-hotel waterfront on the daily structure.
The Port Pierre Canto eastern-face overflow. Port Pierre Canto on the eastern face on the Port Canto framework handles the 30 to 50m alongside on the prior allocation, with the inner basin running the daily Cannes Yachting Festival exhibition-week and the wider yacht-show structural pool. The 60m-plus hull does not fit the Port Canto alongside on the structural inner-mole capacity at the bracket.
The Bay of Cannes outer-roads anchor field. The Bay of Cannes outer-roads on the central Croisette face holds the bracket-fit at-anchor footprint on the prior Capitainerie coordination, with the structural southwesterly swell window through the Mistral northwesterly turning the outer-roads anchor on the afternoon shore-call pattern. The bracket-fit Cannois week-anchor reads the structural Cote d'Azur central Festival-and-event base.
The Iles de Lerins daylight rotation. The Iles de Lerins on the Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat western face hold the bracket-fit daylight-anchor rotation on the prior Office National des Forêts coordination on the Sainte-Marguerite mainland-facing anchor and the Saint-Honorat monastic-island wider-roads anchor with the Abbaye de Lerins distillery daylight call. The bracket-fit Iles de Lerins daylight reads the structural Cannois off-Croisette lunch and afternoon-shore product.
The Cannes Mandelieu CEQ and Nice NCE Cat A helipad shuttle. Cannes Mandelieu CEQ at 43 degrees 32 minutes north handles the bracket-fit local Cat A helipad guest-transfer on the 5 to 8 minute Vieux Port outer-roads touch-and-go, and Nice NCE handles the wider Cote d'Azur cross-coast routing on the 12 to 18 minute Cannes to Nice touch-and-go on the Monacair or Heli Securité shuttle structure. The bracket without the Cat A helipad reads structurally short on the cross-coast Cannes to Monaco and Saint-Tropez leg on the Festival, Cannes Lions, Monaco GP, and Ferragosto calendar.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm summer pricing (May through October 2026) before APA at 32 to 36 percent (the heavy Cannois daily tender consumption on the Croisette and Iles de Lerins shore-tender rotation, the Vieux Port outer-roads coordination fee, the Cannes Mandelieu CEQ and Nice NCE Cat A helipad shuttle premium, and the structural Cannois Festival-week provisioning load on the Michelin-grade La Palme d'Or shore-restaurant pool) and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The French charter VAT runs the standard 20 percent framework on the portion of the charter in French waters under the French commercial exemption rules.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $830K to $950K per week | $630K to $750K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $950K to $1,150K per week | $720K to $870K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $1,150K to $1,400K per week | $860K to $1,050K per week |
The Cannois peak structure runs the Cannes Festival mid-May at a 28 to 38 percent premium on the May shoulder base on the Vieux Port outer-roads allocation, the Cannes Lions late-June at a 16 to 22 percent premium on the June shoulder base, the MIPCOM mid-October at a 12 to 18 percent premium on the October shoulder base, the Ferragosto August 15 wider-week at a 10 to 14 percent premium on the late-July base, and the Cannes Yachting Festival mid-September at a 10 to 14 percent premium on the September shoulder base. The non-event July and August central windows read the central summer peak, with the June and September non-event shoulder windows reading 12 to 18 percent below the August central peak.

What you actually get in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main and lower-deck doubles, calibrated to the 12 to 14 guest envelope on the structural Cannois event-week and central-summer pattern.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-six. The Cannois call rewards a captain bench with prior Vieux Port outer-roads allocation routine through the Capitainerie de Cannes framework, prior Croisette shore-tender pickup-and-drop routine on the Carlton, Martinez, and Barrière Le Imposing palace-hotel waterfront, prior Iles de Lerins Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat daylight rotation, prior Festival-week and Cannes Lions VIP-arrival coordination, prior Cannes-to-Saint-Tropez and Cannes-to-Monaco cross-coast Ferragosto-week routing, and prior Cannes Mandelieu CEQ and Nice NCE Cat A helipad coordination. The chief stew bench with prior Hotel Martinez, Hôtel Barrière Le Imposing, Hotel Carlton, La Palme d'Or Michelin pool, and Vauban old-town shore-coordination is the structural client-facing load-bearing question.
Tenders. Primary 14 to 16m fast tender plus a 12m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus an 11 to 12m limousine tender. The Quai Laubeuf shore tender, the Croisette palace-hotel waterfront pickup-and-drop, the Iles de Lerins Sainte-Marguerite daylight, the Saint-Honorat Abbaye de Lerins distillery daylight, the Théoule-sur-Mer western-cap daylight, and the Antibes Cap d'Antibes outer daylight run tender-heavy on the daily structure.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing at the bracket. The Bay of Cannes runs the structurally light-swell window through July and August, but the Mistral northwesterly window at force 6 to 7 and the southwesterly Festival-week swell turn the outer-roads anchor on the afternoon shore-call pattern, and the bracket's at-anchor zero-speed product is structurally load-bearing on the daily Croisette shore-pickup rotation.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Cannes Mandelieu CEQ 5 to 8 minute shuttle on the local face and the Nice NCE 12 to 18 minute shuttle on the wider Cote d'Azur cross-coast face.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The 7-night Cannes central routing runs Nice NCE embarkation through the Cat A helipad shuttle to the Vieux Port outer-roads anchor, three nights at the Vieux Port outer-roads with the Croisette palace-hotel programme on the Martinez, Hôtel Barrière Le Imposing, and Carlton waterfront pickup plus the La Palme d'Or Michelin dinner reservation, two nights at the Vieux Port outer-roads with the Iles de Lerins Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat daylight rotation and the Abbaye de Lerins distillery daylight call, one daylight at the Théoule-sur-Mer western-cap, one night at the Cap d'Antibes outer-roads with the Eden Roc shore-tender call on the prior reservation framework, one night on the Vieux Port outer-roads disembark with the Cannes Mandelieu CEQ or Nice NCE Cat A helipad shuttle.
The 10-night Cote d'Azur four-port routing runs the prior 7-night Cannes programme with the eastward passage to Monaco, two nights at the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey on prior allocation, and one night at the Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T on the wider Cote d'Azur leg.
What the bracket does not do well in Cannes
The non-prior-allocation Festival-week plan. The Vieux Port outer-roads Cannes Festival mid-May window runs the structurally tight allocation on the 12 to 18 month lead time and the Cannes Lions, MIPCOM, MIPIM, Ferragosto, and Cannes Yachting Festival windows run on the 9 to 12 month lead time, and the walk-up plan on any of these windows without the prior outer-roads allocation runs as the structural blocker. The Festival-week walk-up frequently runs the structural Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires or Monaco Port Hercule overflow on a daily commute back to the Croisette on the Cat A helipad shuttle. We would pass on any non-prior-allocation Festival-week plan at the bracket and route the booking on the Antibes IYCA overflow with the daily Cat A helipad shuttle confirmed in writing at contract.
The Vieux Port inner-basin or Port Canto alongside plan. The Vieux Port inner basin and Port Canto inner basin cap at the 50m envelope on the central inner-mole capacity, and the 60m-plus hull does not fit. We would pass on any inner-basin alongside plan at the bracket and route the Vieux Port call on the outer-roads anchor with shore tender to the Quai Laubeuf inner pontoon on the daily structure.
The November through April Cannois plan. The Cote d'Azur charter calendar runs the structural May through October window at the bracket, with the November to April winter holding on the wider French winter shutdown on the bracket-fit berth structure and the regatta-and-event calendar gone. We would pass on the November through April Cannois plan and route the bracket on the Caribbean winter rotation.
The pick
For two couples plus children, 7-night Cannes central routing in mid-July (the non-event central-summer window before the Ferragosto pull and after the Cannes Lions week) with the Nice NCE Cat A helipad shuttle to the Vieux Port outer-roads anchor, three nights at the Vieux Port outer-roads with the Croisette palace-hotel programme on the Martinez and Hôtel Barrière Le Imposing waterfront pickup plus the La Palme d'Or Michelin dinner, two nights at the Vieux Port outer-roads with the Iles de Lerins Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat daylight rotation and the Abbaye de Lerins distillery daylight, one daylight at the Théoule-sur-Mer western-cap, one night at the Cap d'Antibes outer-roads with the Eden Roc shore-tender call, one night on the Vieux Port outer-roads disembark: a 63 to 65m motor yacht, 8 cabins, twin fast tenders plus chase plus dive plus limousine, Cat A helipad on the Cannes Mandelieu CEQ 6-minute shuttle, captain bench on the Vieux Port outer-roads allocation routine and Iles de Lerins daylight routine. Budget $1,000K per week, all-in roughly $1.39M including APA at 33 percent and French charter VAT framework. Lead time 9 to 12 months for the Festival, Cannes Lions, MIPCOM, and Ferragosto windows, 6 to 9 months for the central-July non-event window.
