On the Docks at Cannes: Our Team Takes On the Yachting Festival

The Cannes Yachting Festival is where the global yachting season opens: hundreds of boats packed into the Vieux Port and Port Canto, builders from every corner of the industry, and six days where the whole yachting world is standing on the same docks. This year our production team was there for all of it, and the full vlog takes you along.

What covering Cannes actually looks like

It starts early. Gear packed the night before, on the docks before the crowds, moving yacht to yacht filming for the clients who trust us to tell their story on a global stage. A show like Cannes does not wait for you: the light changes, the charter schedules shift, and the boat you need films best in the forty minutes before the gates open. The vlog walks through the yachts we shot, how we plan a show day, and what goes into bringing back footage that feels like you were standing on the teak yourself.

The part that does not fit on a shot list

We do not fly in, grab a few clips, and leave. We show up as one team, live the show alongside our clients, and when the long days wrap, the same crew is at dinner together on the Riviera. That is the culture: people who love this industry, work hard inside it, and genuinely enjoy being in the room together. Clients feel that difference in every shoot, because the team behind the camera actually cares how the story lands.
