Mega Yachts Dock at Cannes Film Festival
At Old Port, the premier pier in Cannes, luxury yachts and mega yachts fill the docks as their owners flood the annual Cannes Film Festival. These yachts generate nearly as much attention and publicity as the famous film festival itself!
The gorgeous yachts represent millions upon millions of dollars lining the docks, and are festooned with banners for European film companies and promotional advertisements, naturally. It is definitely a strategic way to market items luxuriously and effortlessly!
The big boys, or mega yachts [http://www.imaginelifestyles.com/luxury-yacht-charter], are positioned at the end of the pier, where deepwater anchorage is provided and the $25 million and up vessels can be admired. Yachting moguls from all around the world gather in Cannes to see, be seen, and take part in one of the big yachting events of the year.
Present and accounted for is yacht Rio Rita, owned by the Latisis, a Greek dynasty reportedly worth around $9 billion. Rio Rita is a 26-year old standard. Also present is a 30's style stunner, owned by Johnny Depp. Port records show that the Depp yacht is registered to one T. Burton for the festival.
Tim is president of the competition jury for the Cannes Film Festival this year and obviously enjoys the finer accommodations. I suppose you could say Johnny Depp's is a celebrity yacht charter! Depp has had several yachts over the years, and spends time at sea with his family.
The current economic recession has thinned the crowds of the Cannes Film Festival, as well as lowered the wattage and indulgence previously enjoyed. All that aside, there is still a mega yacht too large for the dock space provided, the Utopia mega yacht charter, which goes for $540,000 a week, plus an additional $135,000 for food and services. The yacht Utopia is anchored, and the renter utilizes a smaller vessel to get back and forth to the mainland. I am sure many of them are luxury yacht charters for the event. That must be a rough life.
