Cannes Lions is where the advertising industry spends five days deciding what it thinks, and for the last fifteen years it has done so largely on boats. The Palais holds the awards and the talks. The business happens on the yachts moored along the Croisette and anchored in the bay, each one taken over for the week by a network, a platform or a production company.
This is the clearest corporate charter on the calendar. A Cannes Lions yacht is not accommodation with a view, it is a branded venue: your logo on the passerelle, your people hosting from breakfast to the small hours, and a guest list that never queues. Whole-boat buyouts are the norm rather than the exception, and the yacht is often booked before the delegate passes are.
Cannes Lions 2027 runs from Monday 21 to Friday 25 June. That timing matters: late June is peak Mediterranean season, so you are competing for yachts with the holiday market as well as with other agencies. The yachts that work for this week, the ones with large flat aft decks and the deck space to hold sixty, are committed twelve months ahead.
Our South of France fleet runs from 26 to 79 metres at weekly rates between roughly 49,500 and 900,000 euros. For a hosting brief we shortlist on deck area and guest-day capacity rather than cabin count, because most Lions guests never sleep aboard.
