About

In 2006, “Catalano Shipping Services” started its international expansion, with the creation of its first branch on the French Riviera: “Catalano Shipping Services France” was created with premises at proximity of Cannes’ old Port.
This new office quickly met the same success and led to the quick opening of another agency in Antibes, to cater to most demanding yachts on the “Quai des Milliardaires” in the International Yacht Club d’Antibes (Port Vauban).

It is both the desire to keep on moving forward and the demand of loyal customers which led to the next extension steps, which soon allowed the nascent group to offer their assistance on more strategic destinations.

Don't just take our word for it, see what our clients have to say

Catalano shipping has been around for many years as long as I have been in yachting. They have a fantastic team, helpful, diligent and professional. Whatever you may give them to source or a challenge they will succeed. Catalano you made everything so smooth and wonderful for us and pulled of the most impossible for our yacht and clients. We thank you for your services and on behalf of our Captain and crew we are grateful that we can continue our future relationship with you and also as professional friends.

I want to extend my appreciation, echoing Captain Lazar's positive sentiment. Over the past 18 years, I have closely collaborated with suppliers and agents, and I understand the challenges and dedication required in your roles. Working with your team has been a true pleasure, and I'd like to commend not only Julien and Guillaume in Monaco but also Celine and Betty, who have performed admirably in Saint Tropez, even under tight scheduling constraints. I'd also like to express my gratitude to Liisi in La Spezia for her outstanding work. Thank you all, and I look forward to our future collaborations.

I’m very happy working with Catalano Agents and affiliated offices around Mediterranean Sea as I’m receiving the best of services and I know that you will give a solution to any kind of issue that might occur during the season. Last but not least the well priced services and a person following our requests at all times is something that makes me feel safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best times of year to book a yacht berth in Cannes?

Peak Season (June to August): This is the zenith for yacht charters in Cannes, attracting the world’s superyachts to its port. Booking well in advance is imperative to secure a berth during this bustling period.

Shoulder Seasons (May and September): These months provide a more tranquil experience, perfect for those wishing to bypass peak season crowds. The Cannes Film Festival in May and the Cannes Yachting Festival in September highlight these times. Early booking remains advisable to ensure availability.

Other Events: Cannes is a hub for industry gatherings such as MIPIM, Cannes Lions, and TFWA Cannes. For these occasions, securing a yacht charter berth at least eight months ahead is prudent to guarantee a prime location in the Port of Cannes.

Winter and Off-Peak Seasons: Outside of major events, booking a yacht berth in the winter or during off-peak times can be more economical. Nonetheless, high demand for berths in Cannes can still make availability a challenge.

The Cannes Film Festival (May): As one of Cannes’ most prestigious events, demand for yacht berths is exceptionally high. To secure a berth in Cannes Old Port during the festival, applications must be submitted to an allocation committee, which conducts three review sessions. Berth applications typically open in January, with planning for the following year released around September.

Are there any special events in Cannes that might affect yacht berth availability?

The Cannes Film Festival (May): As one of Cannes’ most illustrious events, the demand for yacht berths is exceptionally high. To secure a prime spot in the Port of Cannes, it is crucial to book at least eight months in advance.

Shoulder Seasons (May, September): Though less hectic than the peak summer months, advance booking is still recommended during these periods to secure a berth, especially for notable events like the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

How far in advance should I book a berth for the Cannes Yachting Festival?

The Cannes Yachting Festival, held annually in September, is a major event requiring advance preparation for securing a berth.
