Local expertise

Why This Service Matters Here

The old port of Cannes is one of the most prestigious marinas in the Mediterranean, tucked at the foot of the Suquet with the Croisette as its backdrop. Smaller than Port Vauban in Antibes, it compensates with an unmatched setting: yachts moored opposite the Quai Saint-Pierre restaurants, views to the Lérins Islands, and immediate access to the city centre. Port Canto, at the Croisette's far end, accommodates larger vessels and hosts the Festival de la Plaisance boat show. Our Cannes nautical concierge serves boaters across both marinas: boat cleaning between outings, provisioning from the Forville market delivered dockside, harbour master coordination, and crew transfers. Nautical activity in Cannes follows the city's event calendar: the Film Festival and congresses drive demand for sea outings, onboard cocktails, and maritime transfers to Cap beaches and the Lérins Islands. Dinner aboard a yacht in the old port with the illuminated Suquet as backdrop is a service we arrange regularly. Winterisation is handled primarily at the Mandelieu boatyard (10 minutes) or Golfe-Juan. In summer, daily sailing to the Lérins Islands is standard : we coordinate departures and provisioning for these excursions.

Specific Challenges in Cannes

The Cannes old port offers 800 berths in a spectacular setting facing the Suquet. Port Canto at the Croisette's end hosts the boat show and larger vessels. The Forville market, 200 metres from the old port, provides the freshest provisioning source. The Lérins Islands are a 15-minute crossing. The Mandelieu boatyard, 10 minutes away, handles maintenance and winterisation. The Cannes events calendar creates unique nautical demand : onboard events, maritime transfers, private outings during Film Festival and congresses.

Nautical services at Cannes port

The Old Port of Cannes and Port Pierre Canto, at the heart of the Croisette, hosting yachts and pleasure boats steps from the Palais des Festivals. Our Cannes maritime concierge covers the full range of boating needs: interior and exterior cleaning between every trip or charter, harbour master liaison for berth formalities, crew transfers between the airport and the port, and regular vessel surveillance when you are not on-site. We know the local port specifics and maintain direct relationships with maritime authorities to facilitate every procedure.

Boat maintenance and cleaning

Regular Mediterranean boat maintenance is essential to preserve value and ensure safety. Our service covers full cleaning : hull, deck, interior : after every trip or between charters. We coordinate mechanical servicing, electrical and navigation system checks, and routine repairs with regional boatyards. For larger yachts, we also manage specialist equipment maintenance: desalinators, generators, marine air conditioning. Every intervention is documented in a maintenance log we keep updated.

Provisioning and preparation

Before every sea outing, we prepare your boat so everything is perfect on your arrival. Provisioning includes local market shopping : fruit, vegetables, fish, fresh cheese delivered directly dockside : plus special orders: champagne, international products, dietary requirements. We check fuel and fresh water levels, prepare the cool box, lay out deck linen and towels. For trips with guests, we can arrange an onboard chef or dockside catering delivery.

Navigation and transfers

We organise sea trips departing from Cannes: day trips to the Lérins Islands, cruises along the Estérel coast, stops at Monaco or Saint-Tropez. Boat charter with or without skipper, diving and snorkelling excursions, sport fishing. For maritime transfers, we run shuttles between Côte d'Azur ports : practical for avoiding summer road traffic between Cannes, Antibes, and Nice. Every trip is planned accounting for marine weather and navigation conditions.

Winterisation and storage

Winterisation is a critical step in Mediterranean boat maintenance. From November to March, we coordinate the entire process: haul-out at regional boatyards or enhanced afloat winterisation, full hull cleaning and antifouling treatment, engine winterisation, deck element protection, and regular monitoring throughout winter. In spring, we manage the relaunch, engine trials, and full systems check before the nautical season begins. For absent owners, photographic reports document the boat's condition throughout winter storage.
