Yes, you can absolutely charter a boat to stay docked at the port for an event (static charter)!
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Guest capacity: For a given vessel, the number of guests you can host for a static charter is often higher than the cruising capacity. For example, our motor catamaran can accommodate 250 guests for a static event, but can only cruise with 200 guests.
Berth: During major events like Cannes Lions or the Monaco Grand Prix, you'll need to complete and obtain approval to secure a berth within the port.
Please note, this process can be expensive.
Absolutely!
Many large sailing catamarans feature spacious, uncluttered decks with open floor plans. This allows for significant customization, including branding, furniture arrangements, and personalized decor.
Things to consider when booki,g a boat for your guests:
Seasonality: Maxi-catamarans, with their open deck layouts, are generally not recommended for winter cruises. However, our power catamaran features an enclosed space with a heating system, making it a great choice for cooler months.
For maxi-catamarans, the ideal rental period is between June and October.
Itinerary: Maxi-catamarans excel in comfort and stability, but due to their design, they aren't the fastest boats. While extensive daily travel distances might not be ideal (e.g., directly from Cannes to Monaco or Cannes to Saint-Tropez), most of our yachts operate comfortably between Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
Charter Duration: Our vessels are ideally suited for day trips and excursions. While they don't offer overnight accommodations due to the lack of cabins and bathrooms, we can discuss alternative options for week-long charters if you're interested.
Please feel free to contact us directly to explore these possibilities.

While some operators may allow guests to bring their own food and beverages, a corkage and substantial service fee will typically apply. We recommend clarifying this policy with the specific operator you are interested in to avoid any unexpected charges.
While we do offer occasional tall ship experiences for 2-3 day corporate cruises, showcasing them as a regular option might not be ideal. The logistics, availability, and average daily rate (starting at €75,000 + expenses) make them a more specialized offering.
