It’s a Cannes coverup!
The self-described “wettest, naughtiest” yacht on the Mediterranean has been canceled in the South of France.
The Sea Squirter, docked in Cannes’ port, has been eliciting noises ranging from gasps to laughs all week from Cannes Lions Festival attendees passing by. But the team behind the charter boat eventually had enough of the gushing scene and decided to conceal the “squirter” portion of its name with white paper and tape.
“They wanted to cover it up,” a French source close to the vessel told Page Six Wednesday. “It was inappropriate, and they didn’t want people to see.”
Our slippery source also suggested that “squirter” had a different meaning abroad than it does in the US, but we have our doubts because the Instagram account for the Sea Squirter promises the exact experience one would expect aboard that boat.
One photo shows entrepreneur and investor Matt Haycox posing completely nude on the bow of the boat, while a carousel of pictures reveal women dancing in teeny bikinis in honor of “Squirting Saturdays” (splash emoji included).
The Sea Squirter didn’t return Page Six’s request for comment.
Throughout the week festival attendees have been popping by Brand Innovators’ takeover of Armani Caffé on La Croisette and have been heard talking about the scandalous yacht.
“I have to show you something. It’s a story in two parts,” one person said, before his guest interrupted, “Oh, my God, is it the Sea Squirter? It got covered up!”
“I can’t believe that boat is named that!” said another. “I wonder what the final straw was that made them conceal the name.”
Six ballsy guests can slide onto the Sea Squirter, and she also has accommodations for three crew members, including the captain. The sport yacht measures 26.88 meters, so she’s certainly packing enough space for someone to dry off.
