Located adjacent to Vieux Port, MIPCOM is an ideal event that can seamlessly combine with a Cannes yacht charter.

Boasting plenty of perks and benefits, a MIPCOM yacht charter doubles as an exclusive venue that can extend the networking opportunities initiated in the official program, with cocktail parties being a regular occurrence around the pontoons.
Capable of accommodating West Mediterranean yacht charters up to 459ft (140m), Vieux Port has been known to welcome some truly captivating superyachts over the years, particularly during events like the esteemed Cannes Yachting Festival.

Cannes yacht charter itineraries
Why do many businesses charter yachts during MIPCOM?
Luxury yachts provide an exclusive setting for hosting meetings, presentations, networking receptions, and client entertainment throughout the event. Their location within Vieux Port places guests just a short walk from the Palais des Festivals while offering considerably greater privacy than traditional hospitality venues.
Is MIPCOM suitable for professionals outside television?
Yes. Although television remains central to the event, MIPCOM also welcomes delegates from streaming platforms, digital media, advertising, licensing, production, technology, and content investment, making it one of the industry's broadest international marketplaces.
How far in advance should I arrange a yacht charter?
Demand for both marina berths and corporate charter yachts increases significantly during Cannes' autumn events calendar. Securing a yacht six to twelve months in advance generally provides the greatest choice of vessels and preferred berthing locations.
Whether you're entertaining clients, organising executive meetings, or looking to combine MIPCOM with a wider South of France yacht charter, booking early offers the greatest flexibility and access to premium yachts.
