Opening tomorrow, the Cannes Yachting Festival is set to host a number of incredible motor yachts and sailing yachts that are available for charter.

Celebrating its fortieth anniversary this September, the Cannes Yachting Festival is marking the milestone by throwing a bigger and better show than ever before.

Indeed, besides bringing a sublime collection of superyachts to the Bay of Cannes, organisers are also launching a brand new ‘Luxury Gallery’ to allow premium brands to exhibit their latest products in the prestigious surroundings of the Palais de Festivals.

With six days to take in all that’s on offer, visitors will be able to experience all of this along with informative seminars and social events.

In this article, we take a look at 5 of the best charter yachts to check out at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2017.
