From a terrace above the bay to a week at sea, or a yacht of your own.
From a villa in Super Cannes, the sea is always there. It sits beyond the pool in the morning, silver and still. By lunch the Lérins Islands are sharp on the horizon. In the evening the yachts at anchor off the Croisette begin to light up, one by one, like a second town on the water.
Sooner or later, most guests start to wonder what that view looks like from the other side. An afternoon at anchor off Sainte-Marguerite. A day trip along the Esterel. Or a longer question, the kind that arrives on the third evening of a stay: what would it be like to spend a summer at sea, or to have a yacht of your own?
That is where The Yacht Collection comes in. We are pleased to introduce it as a partner to Cannes Villas, bringing yacht charter and yacht sales into the same conversation as the homes you already know through us.
The villa and the yacht, together
For many families, the most memorable summers combine both. Mornings by the pool in La Californie or Cap d’Antibes, then a yacht waiting in the bay for the afternoon. The house becomes the base, and the sea becomes the garden.
The Yacht Collection presents a selection of yachts for charter chosen for the experience they deliver on board, not for the length of their specification sheet. Some guests want a week that begins at the villa and ends somewhere entirely different: Corsica, the Italian coast, or the islands of Greece. Others want to go further still. The fleet ranges from Fifi, a Custom Line 140 delivered in 2025, to La Mirage, a 52-metre Amels long known for relaxed family charters, and Sunday, a 59.8-metre Benetti with an Art Deco interior inspired by the ocean liner Normandie.
When winter comes, the same team looks to St Barts, Antigua and the Bahamas. And for those who want something more remote, French Polynesia, Patagonia or the atoll of Aldabra in the Seychelles.
From guest to owner
Cannes has a particular relationship with yachts. Every September, the Yachting Festival fills the Vieux Port and Port Canto with new launches, and the town becomes the place where much of the industry comes to look. For villa guests staying that week, the shipyards are a short walk from the Croisette.
The Yacht Collection was built to make that kind of search calmer. Rather than presenting every listing available, it focuses on yachts chosen for their quality, character, pedigree and ownership potential. Sanlorenzo, ISA Yachts and Royal Huisman sit alongside Sunreef catamarans, Pardo and Wajer day yachts and the hybrid trawlers of Greenline. Each has a clear reason for being there.
Brokerage yachts and new builds are presented side by side, with market insight and a buyer’s guide written to inform rather than persuade. The starting point is always the same: how you intend to use the yacht. A tender for summers at the villa is a very different brief from a yacht that can carry the whole family to the Aegean.
Why this partnership makes sense
Cannes Villas exists to make a stay on the Riviera feel effortless. We know the hills of Super Cannes and Croix des Gardes, the quiet lanes of Mougins and the waterfront houses of Cap d’Antibes, along with the chefs, drivers and household teams who make each villa feel like home. The Yacht Collection brings the same kind of knowledge to the water, working with shipyards, brokers and crews across several oceans.
Both sit naturally within The S Collection. A family might take a villa in La Californie for the Film Festival, return in September to walk the Yachting Festival pontoons with a broker who already knows their brief, then spend the following summer at sea between Cannes and Capri. Each step is handled by people who understand the one before it.
Nothing about the way you book a villa with us changes. What changes is how far the stay can go.
What this means for you
If you are planning a stay in Cannes, we are here as always. If you would like a yacht waiting in the bay during your stay, or a week at sea before or after it, we can introduce you to The Yacht Collection‘s charter team. And if you are thinking about ownership, their brokers will help you compare the yachts that matter, with honest advice on how each would suit the way your family likes to spend time on the water.
Tell us where the idea begins. We will take care of the introductions.
