Boarding access and yacht comfort in Cannes

Assess the route aboard

For a Cannes charter, assess guest access from the street to the final seating area. The Vieux Port and Port Canto create different arrival journeys, and event arrangements can affect how people reach a yacht. Ask for the actual berth, the walking route and the gangway details before confirming guest transport. A yacht's size does not establish step-free access. Request measurements and photographs if a guest uses a wheelchair or walking aid. Check changes of level to the salon, toilet and dining area, and ask what assistance the crew can provide. The answer needs to refer to the proposed vessel. For a reception, think about guests arriving and leaving at different times. The route aboard should remain clear while catering works. If the event relies on an outdoor deck, ask whether an indoor alternative can accommodate the intended use. These practical details belong in the proposal, alongside the approved guest arrangement.

Details worth sharing

Help the organiser assess guest access on the particular event yacht. Describe the practical requirement rather than providing medical documents.

• Any mobility equipment that the yacht access plan must accommodate, with its dimensions and required assistance.
• Any limits affecting guest movement along the gangway, on steps or towards the toilet.
• Whether guests should be seated on a single level, or need a quieter indoor area.
• Equipment or bags whose storage could obstruct guest circulation.
