Anchoring between the Îles de Lérins is one of the most relaxed and sought-after yacht experiences on the French Riviera. Just minutes from Cannes, this protected anchorage offers calm, crystal-clear water and a peaceful natural setting that perfectly captures the charm of the Côte d’Azur.

The stretch of water between Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat is naturally sheltered, creating ideal conditions for swimming, snorkeling and paddleboarding. The sea is famously transparent, with shallow turquoise tones and a gentle seabed, making it perfect for families, couples and groups of friends looking to fully unwind. Drop anchor, ease into the water, stretch out on deck and enjoy the simple pleasure of being at sea.

One of the highlights of anchoring at the Cannes islands is the effortless Riviera lifestyle. You can stay on board and have pizza boats and cocktail boats come directly to your yacht, delivering fresh pizza, chilled rosé, cold drinks and cocktails straight to you on the water. It is relaxed, fun and completely uncomplicated.

If you feel like heading out for lunch, you can cruise a short distance along the coastline to iconic addresses such as La Guérite on the island, the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, or the elegant Plage Keller. Each offers its own Riviera atmosphere, from laid-back island dining to timeless Mediterranean glamour.

A yacht charter in Cannes is about freedom and flexibility. Anchoring between the Îles de Lérins combines clear water, beautiful surroundings and easy access to the best lunch spots on the French Riviera, making it one of the top places to anchor near Cannes with Orange Lion Charters.
