Superyachts gather in Cannes for MIPIM 2018

By Rebecca Bradbury 8 March 2018

Some of the best charter yachts on the planet will be arriving in Cannes over the next few days in time for MIPIM, the most important event in the property market calendar, which gets underway this year on 13^th March.

As well as the glittering line-up of luxury yachts, the most influential property players will also be in town, making the most of the networking, learning and transaction opportunities the four-day event provides. Some, of course, will use the event as the opportunity to undertake a South of France yacht charter in order to entertain clients in the most enjoyable way possible.

With 20,000 square meters of exhibition space, MIPIM is the premier property expo to meet key stakeholders, with the office, residential, retail, healthcare, sport, logistics and industrial sectors all well represented.

There is a leading programme of 100 plus conference sessions offering insight into key sectors and property hotspots, while an exclusive platform enables close to 25,000 participants to connect during targeted matchmaking, business and social events.

Another highlight of the annual meet are the MIPIM Awards. These honour the most outstanding and accomplished real estate projects around the world and winners of the 11 categories will be revealed in a ceremony in the Grand Auditorium on 15^th March.

The superyachts lined up along Cannes’ Jetée Albert Edouard have long been a regular feature of the event and, as the main action takes place just steps away in the Palais des Festival, it’s an ideal opportunity to undertake a corporate yacht charter.

A luxury yacht serves as a brilliant base and, as only MIPIM badge holders are granted access to Cannes Harbour, charterers will have no problem hosting on-board meetings with contacts, clients and partners attending the event.

There could certainly be no better way to impress, especially when hosting a fine dining experience, cocktail hour or glamorous superyacht party.

What’s more, with so many people heading to the French Riviera for the conference, a superyacht makes an unrivalled accommodation option.
