Cannes is, in many ways, the world’s perfect yachting city.
Cannes serves as a gateway to the French Riviera, providing easy access to other renowned yachting destinations such as Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Antibes, and Nice. Yacht owners can embark on leisurely cruises along the coast, exploring hidden coves, secluded beaches, and charming coastal towns steeped in history and culture.
The city boasts a prime waterfront location characterized by azure waters, picturesque coastlines, and stunning vistas, and its scenic beauty, combined with a mild Mediterranean climate, makes for an idyllic setting for yachting and leisure activities year-round.
Cannes is also home to several world-class marinas, including the Port Pierre Canto and the Port de Cannes, offering state-of-the-art facilities and amenities for yachts of all sizes. These marinas provide secure berthing, concierge services, fueling stations, provisioning, and maintenance facilities, catering to the needs of discerning yacht owners and charter clients.
The City Delivers on Sights
Le Suquet, also known as the Old Town of Cannes, is a historic district nestled atop a hill overlooking the city and the sparkling Mediterranean. Steeped in charm and character, Le Suquet is renowned for its narrow cobblestone streets, its medieval architecture, its seaside charm, and its panoramic views.
Meanwhile, La Croisette Promenade is home to several notable cultural landmarks, including the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.
The Église Notre-Dame de l’Espérance, a 16th-century church with a distinctive bell tower, offers sweeping views of Cannes and the surrounding area, while the Museé de la Castre, housed in a former castle, showcases a diverse collection of art, artifacts, and ethnographic exhibits tracing the region’s heritage.
Hosting a myriad of exclusive events and festivals throughout the year, Cannes draws international jet setters and yachting enthusiasts from around the globe. The Cannes Yachting Festival, and the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity are just a few examples of prestigious events that showcase the city’s allure and sophistication, while the Cannes Film Festival is still the most prestigious event in the Hollywood film industry.
ENTOURAGE Brings the Goods
If you’re going to explore the city of Cannes and everything it has to offer, and you’re wondering how to charter a yacht in the Mediterranean, why not rent the perfect luxury superyacht to help you toast the town in style and elegance.
Delivered in early 2023, ENTOURAGE was built in the Netherlands by Amels and is the shipbuilder’s second superyacht in their 60-meter range and is in the top 5% by LOA in the world.
The naval architecture was developed by Damen Yachting, and she is built with a Teak deck, a steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure. She is powered by 2 MTU engines, which give her a top speed of 15.5 kn.
For the best in Mediterranean luxury yacht charters ENTOURAGE features IMO Tier III compliant hybrid power and propulsion technology, cutting-edge equipment, and a transatlantic range of 4,500 miles, giving her superior seakeeping abilities.She also boasts an exterior design by Monaco-based Espen Øino International and naval architecture by Damen Yachting, with elegant interior design by Canadian firm Burdifilek.
Superior Design
Diego Burdi, Burdifilek’s co-founder, whose portfolio includes the W Hotel and New York’s Club Monaco, approached the yacht’s design as a floating oasis of luxury. The interiors are a playground of timeless elegance and ultimate comfort, with a sense of peace conveyed through a monochromatic palette.
As the studio’s first superyacht project, the team at Burdifilek developed the owner’s vision into a tranquil and elegant home at sea, including the specifics of how one space flowed into the next, including a seamless stream of windows instead of the signature angular windows.
The sense of freedom is further enhanced by the large sun deck, which has been lengthened in the aft by 1.5 meters and features a jacuzzi pool surrounded by sunpads, a large bar and BBQ, as well as an alfresco dining area paired with a shaded L-shaped lounge, where the awning poles have been repositioned to the outside of the railing to maximize the space available.
Other dining and lounging options can be found throughout the yacht, including on the Bridge Deck saloon, the Swim Platform, and a casual dining set-up in the Main Saloon.
Moran Yacht & Ship
The owner worked closely not only with Amels, but also with build supervisors and yacht broker of excellence, Moran Yacht & Ship to customize the project.
“We are very proud of the many customisations we were able to implement into this platform, which is a testament to the Damen Yachting engineering and production team,” says Sean Moran, Managing Director at Moran Yacht & Ship. “The input from Moran Yacht & Ship has led to an even better yacht,” adds Arie Midavaine, Project Manager at Damen Yachting.
Having been represented in the original sale by Moran Yacht & Ship, the Owner has also appointed the US brokerage house as the charter Central Agent for ENTOURAGE.
