Why the Riviera

The birthplace of glamour

The Côte d'Azur is where modern yachting was born. Monaco, Cannes, Antibes and Saint-Tropez lie within a few hours of each other, with beach clubs, Michelin-starred dining and art at every stop.

It is also the stage of the world's great yachting events, from the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival in May to the Monaco Yacht Show in September.

Questions

French Riviera yacht charter FAQ

Can I charter a yacht for the Monaco Grand Prix?

Yes, but demand is very high and harbour berths with a view of the circuit are limited. We recommend enquiring many months in advance.

Where do French Riviera charters start?

Usually in Monaco, Nice, Antibes or Cannes, all close to Nice Côte d'Azur airport.

Can we combine the Riviera with Italy or Corsica?

Yes. Many charters continue east to Portofino and the Italian Riviera, or south to Corsica and Sardinia.
