Why a Private Boat Is the Best Corporate Entertainment at MIPIM

Every year, thousands of real estate professionals converge on Cannes for four days of deal-making. The Palais des Festivals is packed. The rooftop bars are crowded. The restaurants are fully booked months in advance.

In this environment, exclusivity is everything. A private catamaran charter gives you something no hotel suite can offer: a completely private, mobile venue with 360° views of the Bay of Cannes, tailored entirely to your agenda.

Your clients step off the Croisette and onto a 12-metre luxury motor catamaran. Within minutes, you're sailing past the Palais. The noise of the conference disappears. The conversation becomes genuinely personal. Deals get done differently at sea.

What a MIPIM Charter with Nikaia Looks Like

Morning Session

Depart Cannes at 9:00. Sail to a calm anchorage off the Lérins Islands — 20 minutes from the city. The panoramic saloon seats 8 comfortably for a working breakfast or presentation. Total privacy, no interruptions, exceptional setting.

Afternoon Entertainment

Return to the Croisette area by early afternoon. Guests swim, enjoy the solarium deck, or simply relax with a glass of champagne while you discuss the morning's meetings. This is when relationships are built — not in a crowded conference hall.

Evening Reception

Anchor off Cannes as the city lights up. Our curated wine and champagne selection transforms the boat into a private floating reception. For up to 12 guests, this is the most memorable evening of the MIPIM calendar.

Our captain has privileged contacts at La Guérite and other top coastal restaurants. He can arrange a lunch stop at tables most guests simply can't book — the ultimate addition to your corporate day charter.

The Nikaia Advantage: 4 Private Ensuite Cabins

For international clients flying in for MIPIM, the option to stay overnight aboard the catamaran is a genuine differentiator. Our Lagoon MY 40 offers four private double cabins — each with its own ensuite bathroom and separate toilet. The standard of a five-star hotel, on the water.

Waking up anchored off Cannes, with breakfast on deck and the Esterel mountains in the background, is an experience your clients will talk about for years.
