Yacht Destination
French riviera (côte d’azur) yacht charter, french riviera yacht charter - luxury yacht charters, boat rentals and superyacht charter in the south of france, from the legendary ports of antibes, cannes, monaco and saint tropez.
Why Visit the French Riviera on a Luxury Yacht Charter?
Bespoke Yacht Charter are passionate about the south of France and all that this stunning part of the French coastline has to offer luxury yacht charter guests from all over the world. Our yacht charter brokers have been working on the Côte d’Azur for more than 15 years and we would be delighted to put together the ultimate French Riviera yacht charter experience for you.
Bespoke Yacht Charter’s brokers have prepared a sample seven day yacht charter itinerary for the French Rivera (Côte d’Azur) including such glamorous and legendary south of France yacht charter destinations such as St Tropez, Cannes, Monaco, Cap Ferrat and a detour to the gorgeous yachting mecca of Portofino in Italy.
Nice to Cannes
Upon arrival at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, a driver will be waiting to take you directly to the Port of Nice, where your charter yacht is docked, ready for your week-long luxury yacht charter on the French Riviera. The yacht’s crew will be waiting for you on the aft deck with glasses of champagne to welcome you aboard your home away from home. Before departing for your first destination, Cannes , the yacht’s Captain will provide a brief safety briefing and explain some important yachting “do’s and don’ts.” Meanwhile, you can take some time to explore your new surroundings and enjoy the stunning south of France scenery from the jacuzzi while the crew prepares the yacht. Once the yacht has dropped anchor opposite the famous Carlton Hotel, a delicious lunch will be served on the aft deck.
After lunch, you can visit the Iles de Lerins , a small group of islands off the coast of Cannes. The islands feature Sainte-Marguerite, home to the Fort Royal where the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned, and Saint-Honorat, which has a beautiful monastery where you can purchase some of the fabulous items produced by these stylish monks, including wines, liqueurs, and excellent honey. If you’re interested in high-end shopping, Cannes is the perfect destination for you. All the big luxury names like Prada, Gucci, Hermes, Chanel, and Christian Dior can be found there. For those looking for a more relaxed afternoon, you can enjoy swimming or indulge in an onboard massage. As the sun sets, it’s time to get dressed up for a glamorous night out in Cannes! Bespoke Yacht Charter recommends the 2-star Michelin Palme d’Or at the Martinez hotel on the Croisette for the ultimate dining experience. After dinner, you can dance the night away at one of Cannes’ many nightspots, like the Bâoli club in Port Canto.
Cannes to St Tropez
Hopefully the heads are not too sore this morning! A lavish buffet breakfast will be laid out on the yacht’s sun deck when you wake. After breakfast, time for a quick swim before departing for your next destination, the infamous St Tropez . Cruising past the beautiful red rocks of the Esterel, the Captain will head past the town of St Tropez to what is perhaps the most famous stretch of sand anywhere in the world and certainly on the Cote d’Azur, St Tropez’s Pampelonne Beach !
Once the Captain has dropped anchor, the first thing that will become very obvious is that you are most definitely not alone. Pampelonne is one of the most popular superyacht anchorages for luxury yacht charters on the French Riviera, if not the entire world. Why are all these yachts here, you might ask? Yes the scenery is stunning, but it is in much of this part of the world. The answer lies on the shoreline and the thirty or so beach clubs that populate the 3 miles of sand that makes up Pampelonne Beach.
There’s a beach club at Pampelonne Beach to suit all tastes. Some of these beach clubs are incredibly flashy and loud, others much more modest and relaxed! We’ve decided to make reservations at the original St Tropez beach club, Club 55! Club 55 originated in 1955 when a small structure served as the onset canteen providing food to the cast and crew of “And God Created Woman” starring THE St Tropez icon, Brigitte Bardot! Over its’ sixty year history, Club 55 has become the definitive Cote d’Azur beach experience for many and is a fixture on almost every French Riviera yacht charter tinerary. Yes many of the guests are rich and famous, but the atmosphere that prevails here is one of a refined, casual discretion. Enjoy the fabulous Mediterranean cuisine of the Cote d’Azur in a chic yet relaxed environment.
As the sun begins to set, your charter yacht will head for St Tropez itself and its’ famous Old Port. If you’ve booked far enough in advance, you’ll head straight for your berth, if not then it’s highly likely that tonight your yacht will be at anchor just outside St Tropez harbour.
Not to worry, your charter yacht will have a fast and comfortable tender to ferry you ashore and back until the very early hours. Dinner could be taken on the yacht, or in town, at L’Opera perhaps.
After dinner, a visit to one of St Tropez’s incredibly hedonistic nightclubs is in order. Perhaps the VIP Room or Caves du Roy, or why not both!
St Tropez to Antibes
Time to head back east today towards the town of Antibes, the European capital of superyachts. On the way, the yacht will anchor just off the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc , a palatial hotel on the Cap d’Antibes peninsula where all the stars stay during the Cannes Film Festival.
This hotel is considered by many to be the most luxurious hotel on the Cote d’Azur. Relax on deck and enjoy some water sports before the yacht heads into Port Vauban in Antibes . Once the yacht has docked, cars will be waiting to take you to the beautiful village of St Paul de Vence and more specifically to the restaurant La Colombe d’Or.
St Paul de Vence is a spectacular 14th century hilltop village and La Colombe d’Or is its’ true star. Eighty years ago, Paul Roux opened a modest restaurant in a 16th century village house.
Many famous artists who spent time in this part of France became regulars at the restaurant, including Chagall, Miro, Matisse, Renoir and Picasso. Often distinctly lacking in the wallet department, they settled their bills with pieces of art. Today, La Colombe d’Or boasts one of the world’s finest collections of 20th century art. It is also a great place to have lunch! A visit to the nearby Maeght Foundation is also a must for art lovers and one of the Côte d’Azur’s finest museums.
Late afternoon, head back to Antibes for a walk around the beautiful Antibes old town before returning to the yacht for drinks. Your yacht’s crew have been busy in your absence, preparing the yacht for a fantastic dinner this evening. If you’ve timed it perfectly, there will also be a spectacular fireworks display after dinner! Summer fireworks displays are a real highlight of the French Riviera yacht charter season. Bespoke Yacht Charter will provide you with a schedule of when these take place so you’ll be sure not to miss them.
Antibes to Cap Ferrat
After breakfast, the yacht will head for the magnificence of Cap Ferrat just east of Nice. This lush peninsula is home to some of the world’s most impressive and expensive waterfront villas! Once the anchor has been dropped, and after some swimming, you’ll have the option of lunch onboard or perhaps ashore at the highly recommended beach restaurant Paloma Beach . In the afternoon, why not visit the spectacular Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild , one of the most impressive and ornate properties on the French Riviera.
With mind-blowing views over the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the nine amazing gardens that are open to the public are absolutely incredible. Early evening drinks will be enjoyed at the very impressive Grand Hôtel du Cap Ferrat from where you’ll then be driven to the 9th century village of Eze, perched 1,400ft above the Mediterranean sea below. Enjoy a walk through the narrow cobblestone streets before a very special dinner at the majestic Chèvre d’Or, one of the French Riviera’s finest restaurants. The night will be spent at anchor off Cap Ferrat.
Today, it’s off to Monaco which is just a short cruise from Cap Ferrat. But the first stop of the day will be the beach at Plage Mala on Cap d’Ail. A truly stunning bay, framed by towering cliffs, Plage Mala is one of the most secluded, lovely beaches anywhere on the Côte d’Azur. This really is a truly beautiful anchorage. Lunch ashore at either La Reserve de la Mala or Eden Plage Mala will be very enjoyable. This is also a great place to enjoy the toys onboard, especially the standup paddle boards! The views towards Monaco and back over Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Cap Ferrat really are magnificent, and paddling around the bay in total silence is truly the best way to appreciate the majesty of your surroundings!
Early evening and it’s time to come into port in Monaco. Monaco has two ports, each with its’own very distinct flavour. The Port de Fontvieille is laid back and relatively quiet, which appeals to those looking to relax. But as we are going for the ultimate French Riviera yacht charter experience during this week, there is only one place to be on a charter yacht in Monaco, and that’s the main port, or Port Hercule as it’s known. The Port Hercule is like an amphitheatre, framed to the west by the the old town of Monaco (the rock), to the north by scores of apartment blocks rising up to meet the mountains and to the east by the glitz and glamour of Monte-Carlo.
Everyone knows Monaco’s Port Hercule as it is of course the location of the Monaco Grand Prix, the event for which this small Principality in southern France is best known. Every year, the world’s finest drivers push themselves to the limit, racing their cars around the narrow streets of Monaco, something these machines where never designed to do and you’ll see why! As you enter Monaco, many of the famous parts of the circuit will be instantly recognisable from the deck of your yacht, Rascasse, Tabac Corner, the Swimming Pool and the Tunnel. In fact, it is highly likely that your charter yacht will actually be berthed on what is the Monaco Grand Prix circuit!
Tonight is going to be all about glamour, so what better way to begin than with a glass of champagne on your charter yacht, the brightly coloured lights of Monte-Carlo sparkling all around you. It’s only a short walk or taxi ride up the hill to Casino Square, home to Monaco’s legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo. Monaco is famous for two things above all, the Monaco GP and the Monte-Carlo Casino, and it’s only fitting that your first night in Monaco takes place around this magnificent temple to gambling. As you enter Casino Square, you can’t help but admire the splendour of the architecture. To your right stands the legendary Hotel de Paris, to your left, the Cafe de Paris, and it is here that the evening really kicks off with drinks at this world famous people watching spot.
Directly in front of you, you’ll see your restaurant for dinner tonight, Bespoke Yacht Charter’s recommendation is Alain Ducasse at the Hotel de Paris (previously the Louis XV). After a spectacular dinner, how about a drink or two at legendary Monaco nightspot Jimmy’z or perhaps try the new kid on the block, Twiga owned by former F1 team boss and restaurateur, Flavio Briatore.
The next day is spent on the yacht anchored off Monaco, sunbathing, swimming and tearing around the bay on the jet skis.
Monaco is also a great place to ask the charter yacht’s crew to get all the towable toys out and have some real fun. Lunch is taken by the pool at the Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel. In the afternoon, perhaps a game of tennis at Monte-Carlo Country Club, or if that’s not your thing, why not visit Le Rocher and the Prince’s Palace or the Oceanographic Museum?
For dinner, if you don’t want to eat onboard, then try Nobu on the roof of the Fairmont Hotel. Exquisite Japanese dining with the most incredible views of Monaco, the sky and the sea!
Monaco to Portofino, Italy
Your charter yacht left Monaco shortly after you returned from dinner last night and when you wake up this morning, you’re in Portofino, Italy! Portofino is a beautiful fishing village with a twist and one of the most attractive places in this part of Italy. After breakfast, spend the morning exploring the shops in Portofino, or enjoy yourself out on the water. There are numerous beautiful walks all around Portofino. Lunch will be served onboard today, and don’t eat too much, as you have a really special dinner lined up for this evening. In the afternoon, why not take the tender and explore some of the other towns and villages around Portofino, such as Santa Margherita. As it gets dark, cars will arrive to take you for a truly memorable last dinner at the fabulous Hotel Splendido, perched high above Portofino, offering fine dining and even finer views!
Portofino to Nice or Monaco
Enjoy your last breakfast onboard your charter yacht as you cruise back to the south of France and Monaco or Nice to disembark from your French Riviera yacht charter.

Yacht Charter Cote d'Azur
A luxury yacht charter on the Cote d'Azur provides a superb way in which to explore this fascinating and beautiful area. One can explore a unique mixture of old latin culture and architecture, modern facilities able to cater for the world’s finest charter yachts and the Cote D'Azur coastline, as varied as it is stunning.
In 1887 Stéphen Liégeard published his book "La Côte d’Azur" (literally translated into English meaning "The Azur Coast") referring to the stunning and unusual "Azur" blue colour of the sea. The name "Cote D'Azur" caught on (to others it is known as the "French Riviera") and since then this stunning stretch of Mediterranean coastline at the southeast corner of France between the Italian border and St Tropez has attracted the wealthy, aristocratic, artistic, pleasure seeking, jet set and become the leading superyacht charter destination in the World.
There are a number of natural yacht charter destinations on the Cote D'Azur all with quite different surroundings and atmosphere including Monaco Antibes Cannes and St Tropez, whilst the proximity of the Italian Riviera Corsica and Sardinia also ensures that the Cote D'Azur is an ideal base from which to explore these famous yacht charter cruisng grounds.

Yacht Rental Côte d’Azur
The Côte d'Azur, or French Riviera, situated in the southeastern region of France, presents itself as a rich tapestry woven with glimmering cerulean waters, vibrant coastal fauna, and an intricate mingling of cultures. The symphony of waves lapping against the golden sands and rugged cliffs has serenaded the inhabitants and guests of these shores for eons. One way to embrace this natural spectacle is by embarking upon a nautical adventure, a yacht rental to be precise.
Why Rent a Yacht in Côte d'Azur?
❑ The Confluence of Nature's Ballet and Human Artistry
As we float atop the gentle swells of the Mediterranean Sea, we find ourselves witness to an ethereal dance—a dance in which the natural world intertwines with human craftsmanship. The yacht becomes not merely a vessel but a stage from which one can admire the elegance of dolphins as they crest the waves, the steadfastness of seabirds as they navigate the coastal winds, and the breathtaking panorama of shorelines adorned with artistry and architecture.
Renting a yacht in Côte d'Azur allows for an intimate engagement with both land and sea. It grants access to hidden coves, unspoiled beaches, and captivating coastal towns, each with its unique heritage and gastronomy.
❑ A Symphony of Cultural Exploration
To navigate these azure waters is to embark on a journey through history and culture. The yachts, those magnificent constructions of human ingenuity, grant passage to locations like Cannes, Nice, and St. Tropez. Each port offers an intricate medley of flavors, colors, and sounds, a sensory explosion that reflects the vibrant tapestry of civilizations that have graced these shores.

What Should I Consider Before Renting a Yacht in Côte d'Azur?
⛵ Understanding the Marine Ecosystem
It is of utmost importance to approach the sea with respect and consideration. One must remember that the waters of the Côte d'Azur are home to a rich and fragile marine ecosystem. A responsible yachtsman will take the time to understand the guidelines and regulations designed to preserve this delicate balance.
⛵ The Seasons' Whisper
The weather, ever a capricious performer in nature's orchestra, demands careful attention. The choice of when to set sail should be a mindful decision, accounting for the seasonal fluctuations, weather patterns, and water conditions. The late spring to early autumn offers a milder temperament, but one must be diligent in heeding the meteorological forecasts.
⛵ Selection of the Right Vessel
A yacht is more than a mere boat; it is an extension of one's journey through this maritime wonderland. It should be chosen with thought and precision, to suit the needs and comforts of the voyager.
Which Is the Best Yacht for Côte d'Azur Waters?
⛵ The Harmony of Design and Function
In selecting the most suitable yacht, one must consider the equilibrium between design and function. The rugged nature of some coastal parts requires a vessel of sturdy build and adept maneuverability. Yachts like the Sunseeker or Azimut range are renowned for their craftsmanship and performance, gracefully uniting the elegance of design with the rugged demands of the sea.
⛵ A Personalized Journey
The best yacht for these waters would be one that resonates with the individual's desires and needs. Be it a family gathering, a romantic escapade, or a solitary exploration, the vessel should be a harmonious extension of the experience. Many charter companies offer bespoke packages, allowing the guest to customize the adventure.
⛵ The Environmental Consideration
In this age, where the delicate balance of our ecosystems hangs precariously, it is essential to consider the environmental impact of our choices. Hybrid yachts, employing a fusion of traditional engines with electric or solar alternatives, represent a step towards a more conscientious interaction with our planet.
In conclusion, to traverse the waters of the Côte d'Azur by yacht is to partake in a living theater where nature's grandeur and human innovation play out a mesmerizing performance. It is an experience that requires thoughtful preparation, a keen understanding of the environment, and a profound respect for the sea and all its inhabitants. In so doing, one might find themselves not merely a spectator but a participant in a dance as ancient and profound as the waves themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
As we traverse the waters of the Côte d'Azur, the gentle hum of the yacht's engine blending with the calls of seabirds and the whispers of the sea, we find ourselves amid a world filled with wonder, complexity, and endless possibility. Many questions may arise in the minds of those who are embarking on this maritime adventure. It is with profound interest and the shared passion of exploration that we offer responses to some frequently asked questions, hoping to illuminate your journey through this resplendent region.
What is the best time to rent a yacht in Côte d'Azur?
The most favorable time for yachting in Côte d'Azur is from late spring to early autumn. These months offer mild weather and pleasant sea conditions. However, it is always wise to consult local weather forecasts and maritime experts to ensure a safe and delightful experience.
Are there specific regulations I should be aware of while yachting in these waters?
Yes, the coastal waters of Côte d'Azur are governed by both international maritime laws and local regulations to protect the environment and ensure safety. It is essential to familiarize oneself with these rules or engage a knowledgeable captain who understands the local maritime etiquette.
Can I visit secluded beaches and hidden coves with a yacht?
Indeed, one of the unique pleasures of yachting is the ability to explore hidden gems along the coast that are often inaccessible by land. Your charter company or captain can guide you to these enchanting spots, keeping in mind local regulations and environmental considerations.
Is it possible to rent a yacht without sailing experience?
Certainly. Many yacht charter companies offer the option of hiring a skilled captain and crew, allowing you to relax and enjoy the journey without the need for navigation or sailing expertise. You may choose to learn some sailing techniques or simply revel in the luxury and scenery.
What amenities and services can I expect on a yacht?
Yachts vary greatly in their offerings, depending on size, design, and purpose. Many come equipped with modern amenities such as gourmet kitchens, en-suite bedrooms, entertainment systems, and water sports equipment. It is advisable to discuss your preferences and needs with the charter company to find the yacht that best suits your voyage.
How do I choose the right yacht charter company?
Selecting a reputable charter company is vital for a pleasurable yachting experience. Look for companies with positive reviews, transparent pricing, and knowledgeable staff who can guide you in choosing the perfect yacht and itinerary. Do not hesitate to ask for references or any specific questions you may have about the vessel and services.
Is there a way to have a responsible and environmentally friendly yachting experience?
Yes, many yachts now offer eco-friendly features such as solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and waste management systems. By choosing such a yacht and adhering to local environmental regulations, you can minimize your impact on the delicate marine ecosystem.

Cote d'Azur
The Côte d’Azur, otherwise known as the French Riviera, has been synonymous with chic elegance and lofty living for well over a century; however, its heydey was during the 1950s and ’60s, when practically everyone who was anyone seemed to have upped sticks and bought a duplex apartment along its pebble-strewn shores.
The breathtaking beaches on the Côte d'Azur are one of the region's greatest draws. There are many distinct sandy and pebbly beaches in the area, some of which are connected with beautiful beach clubs and others of which offer more serene and natural surroundings. While taking in the spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea, beachgoers can indulge in swimming, watersports, and sunbathing.
It’s still a playground for the rich and beautiful, especially at stylish resorts such as Nice, Cannes, St-Tropez, and, of course, the epitome of extravagance, Monte Carlo, but less well-heeled visitors will find plenty to entertain them too.
The region served as a source of inspiration for many well-known artists, transforming it into a vibrant cultural hub for art. Explore the plethora of museums and galleries, or stop by locations and settings where numerous renowned artists have made references.
Spend your days soaking up the culture and lingering over long lunches. Elsewhere, there are the perfumed streets of Grasse, the balmy beaches of Menton, and the history-stained cobbles of Frejus and St-Raphael to explore.
