Cannes Bay sunset charter boat trip

The experience

Why this trip is worth a day

A short evening charter can make more sense than forcing a half-day sightseeing list. Leave the harbour, view the Croisette and Le Suquet from the water, then use the bay or the Lerins approaches for the best legal position as the light changes. This is particularly effective on a comfortable motorboat or small yacht with drinks and shade. The route should stay flexible around event security zones, regattas and the marina's return time.

Suggested stops

Use these as the shape of the day, with enough time at each stop to swim, relax and enjoy being there.

1. 1

   Cannes waterfront

   See Cannes as a single glittering sweep, from the old quarter of Le Suquet to the hotels and palms of the Croisette. It is the view that turns a short cruise into an occasion.

2. 2

   Lerins view

   Point toward the Lerins Islands as the city begins to soften in the evening light. The low green islands frame the bay and give the charter a sense of leaving the shore behind.

3. 3

   A sheltered sunset position

   Settle into the captain's chosen position for drinks, photographs and the changing sky. With no need to collect stops, the group can simply enjoy the light and the atmosphere on board.
