2026 Venice International Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival welcomes acclaimed filmmakers, actors, and international premieres to Venice each year, transforming the historic city into a gathering place for the international film industry. From red-carpet premieres and screenings to private events and celebrations, the festival draws guests from around the world to the shores of the Venetian Lagoon.

Staying aboard a private yacht offers a secluded retreat between screenings and events, with the privacy and comfort to entertain guests or unwind away from the activity ashore. Extend your time on the water before or after the festival with a yacht charter through the Adriatic, exploring Venice and the surrounding Italian coastline at your own pace.
