Yacht Charter Cannes Film Festival : an escape aboard the Axopar 45 XT
In Cannes, excitement reaches its peak during the International Film Festival held every year in May. Packed luxury hotels, record crowds… The noise in the city reaches its height. In such a context, it becomes relatively difficult to find a private space for discussions. The solution ? Opt for a yacht charter Cannes Film Festival and enjoy a premium service offered by EDEN BOAT for the organization of private events, fast transfers or VIP moments of disconnection at sea.
The Cannes Film Festival in the spotlight
The Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigious and most publicized film event in the world. It is one of the three major film festivals alongside the Berlin International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. Held every year in May in the city of Cannes, the event celebrates the seventh art in its finest expression and hosts the largest film market on the planet.
Its history dates back to 1939 under the initiative of Philippe Erlanger, Jean Zay and Albert Sarrault. The festival was created as an alternative to the Venice Film Festival, which at the time was under the influence of the Nazi German and Fascist Italian governments.
Its main purpose is to reward the best film, the best director, as well as the best actor and best actress. Several awards are presented, the most prestigious being the Palme d’Or. In addition to the Official Selection, other sections have emerged, including Directors’ Fortnight, Un Certain Regard and Critics’ Week.
Yacht Charter Cannes Film Festival : afterworks and launch parties on a floating lounge
During the Cannes Film Festival, there are several affiliated events, including the Cannes Film Market, which is the largest film market in the world, bringing together more than 12,400 industry professionals. For this occasion, would you like to thank your teams or your most prestigious partners in a unique and original setting ? Choose our yacht charter Cannes Film Festival service. Selecting our Axopar 45 XT means enjoying a true floating lounge to organize your events in a small and exclusive setting. Our teams can handle catering and entertainment to create a private club atmosphere facing the Croisette.
A breath of fresh air for celebrities and VIPs
Behind the glamour of the festival, a reality weighs on the personalities and VIPs present on the Croisette : photocall sessions, interview marathons, official screenings and evening events eventually become exhausting. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to enjoy a moment of calm. It is to meet this need for discretion and serenity that EDEN BOAT designed its « rapid disconnection » package. In just a few hours, we offer personalities a true breath of fresh air, a space suspended in time to recharge their batteries far from the excitement of photographers and prying eyes.
Aboard the Axopar 45 XT equipped with powerful engines, it takes only a few minutes to reach Cannes’ most beautiful spots to relax and unwind. Your skipper will guide you to the secret coves of the Estérel massif, where red rocks plunge into turquoise waters of rare purity. In this preserved environment, the key word is total freedom. Guests can enjoy an exclusive swim at sea, relax on the yacht’s shaded sunbeds or add excitement to their break with our water toys.
Taxi Boat : avoid riviera traffic during the film fortnight
During the festival, road traffic in Cannes becomes saturated due to the closure of strategic roads and the massive influx of festival-goers. Vehicles are not allowed to circulate on the southern roadway of the Croisette, resulting in major traffic jams.
The shortest car journey can therefore turn into a nightmare lasting several hours. For actors who absolutely must attend a screening, directors expected on a TV set or studio executives moving from one meeting to another, time is a precious resource that cannot be wasted in traffic. This is where EDEN BOAT delivers its strongest argument : bypass road traffic by privatizing the Axopar 45 XT and turning it into an ultra-fast and exclusive « Yacht Taxi ».
Powered by a triple-engine configuration delivering a phenomenal 900 horsepower, our vessel covers distances at remarkable cruising speed. Instead of enduring the stress of the road, your VIP guests enjoy an elite open-air transfer while comfortably cruising from Monaco or the Port of Nice directly to the heart of the event. The ultimate luxury of this service lies in our fully personalized VIP Pick-up. Thanks to the shallow draft of the Axopar, the skipper collects your passengers as close as possible to their departure point and discreetly drops them off directly at their hotel’s private pontoon on the Croisette or at the Old Port of Cannes, just a few steps from the red carpet.
