In the heart of Cannes, opposite the old town of Le Suquet and adjacent to the Palais des Festivals, the port is one of the oldest on the French Riviera. Only originally intended for trade and the transport of passengers (a rowboat was already going between Cannes - Marseille in 1835), it has grown over the years, accompanying the development of tourism in the city.
It became a transatlantic port in the 1930s-1940s (with routes, for example, between Cannes and New York), and turned into the most famous marina on the French Riviera. Today it hosts the prestigious sailing and yacht clubs that annually organise internationally recognised regattas, such as the Royal Regatta.
It is very well protected, except in the outer harbour when there is a strong east wind and the entrance at night becomes more difficult.
Inside there are 800 berths, which all have guaranteed: fresh water, electricity at 220V and 380V, toilets and showers, internet, careening, fuel, storage of waste oils and container waste water. Here’s the link to book your berth now and enjoy a wonderful stay in a place where in addition to the glamorous and elegant shops, there are picturesque views.
Cannes is a place full of charm: our advice is to delve into the hill of “Suquet”, with its winding streets, lined by restaurants where you can try the specialties of the area.
And for those who love legends, why not take a “selfie” at Castre castle, more precisely at the corner tower, called “Tour du Masque“, where it is claimed the famous “Man in the Iron Mask” used to live and that he was actually the twin brother of King Louis XIV.
