Debbie's Crew House

Debbie’s Crew House is the perfect relaxing spot to chill beneath the Mediterranean sun during your quest to find a yacht job.

We are situated in a Provencal style villa in a gated, secure courtyard on the outskirts of Antibes. For those searching for privacy we also have three independent self-contained studios within our courtyard and garden. All our property is gated and secured (monitored by CCTV). Our bright, spacious accommodation and garden areas will soon become your home away from home !

So much more than just a place to stay…

A place to network….

Chief stewardess Debbie and chief engineer Franco have designed their crew house using their vast experience on board super yachts. Franco is chief engineer on M/Y Kingdom5-KR which is docked in Antibes for most of the year. At least one of them will always be present to advise and help you. You never know who you might find at Debbie’s. Due to its location on the outskirts of Antibes, Debbie’s is also popular with more senior crew looking for a base either between jobs or doing yacht courses. A number of our regularly returning clients have many years’ experience in the yachting industry holding varying positions such as chef, engineer, chief stewardess and captain. Who knows who you might be sharing a beer with by the pool !

A place to find work…

Debbie and Franco have over 40 years of combined yachting experience and have built up numerous invaluable contacts during this time. Through these contacts they are often the first to know about crew jobs and day working opportunities. Yachting is an industry built on contacts and reputations. The name of Debbie’s Crew House carries some weight, agents and captains know that a recommendation from Debbie or Franco is well worth considering !

A place to save money…

Debbie’s rooms are reasonably priced and its out of town location removes some of the temptation to deposit all of your hard-earned day working cash behind the bar of the many pubs in Antibes ! In fact, there are large refrigerators in the garden to stock your drinks on those hot summer days. After a busy morning, the taste of a cocktail by the pool is priceless !

The crew grapevine.

Quick links: Contact Description Map Send a Message Reviews

Recommended as a good source of crew, as well as good accommodation, these three large private townhouses near the port in the old town, are well priced and have clean accommodation. Run by ex-Chef Jennifer and Captain Jason, they offer Wi-Fi, fully equipped office space, kitchen and laundry facilities.

With three large private townhouses in the centre of old Antibes, Crew Grapevine provides quality shore side accommodation to Superyacht crew, industry professionals and those seeking that end. The three properties are within 100m of the port, among the crew recruitment agencies and yachting schools. 

Their focus is helping their crew finding their feet, finding their next yacht, finding a quiet place to study, and finding support from a network of like-minded people sharing the experience. Owners Capt. Jason and Chef Jennifer have combined over 25 years of industry experience and (being crew themselves) have created the infrastructure to provide crew with what they need when between jobs or studying. 

Grapevine believes in the crewing experience, and works hard to help their crew to integrate with day-work, connections, guidance and support. Yacht Managers and Captains know they will find the best crew at Crew Grapevine. 

With strong connections being forged among its guests and a very social vibe ‘in house’ they have created a loyal following among crew, and many of their guests credit their success to their Grapevine experience. 

But they also have an equally strong reputation for nonsense-free accommodation, this is not the crew house where you will find deckhands throwing up down the stairwell at 3 am and a party in your room all night long. If you are looking for this, you are advised to stay elsewhere!

Antibes: The Yachting Hub's Top Spots for Crew

March 4th 2024

Antibes has established itself as a top destination for yacht crew members looking for work, with a vibrant scene of bars, restaurants, and hangouts in the heart of the yachting community. Its popularity as a yachting hub makes it the perfect place for crew to gather, network, and unwind.

Situated adjacent to Port Vauban, the old town of Antibes is the centre of activity, here are just a few of the hotspots.

Le Blue Lady

This place is like the unofficial welcome to Antibes for yachties. Tucked away in old Antibes, Le Blue Lady is where you kick off your shoes (figuratively, please), grab a game of pool, and maybe even stumble into a job interview over a pint. Their English pub grub is top-notch – think epic burgers, salads, and the kind of breakfast that cures all ;-).

The Hop Store

Just a stone's throw from Port Vauban, this Irish Pub is where the party's at. Known for its killer old town charm and a dance floor that begs for your best moves, The Hop Store is buzzing all summer long. If you're more about chill vibes, catch some daylight relaxation with a pint in hand outside.

The Drinkers Club

If your idea of a good time includes a great selection of beers and cocktails, make your way to The Drinkers Club. It's got outdoor seating perfect for those market street musings and catching up with your crew. Night or day, this place is always popping with yacht crew banter.

Le Cafe Brun

Nestled in Antibes Old Town, Le Cafe Brun strikes the perfect balance between local charm and yacht crew hangout. Whether you're sun-soaking with a chilled drink or warming up inside its cozy walls, this spot's got vibes for days. Plus, it's set in a former boulangerie, so you know the snacks are legit.

The Absinthe Bar

Get a taste of the green fairy in an underground cellar that feels like stepping back in time. The Absinthe Bar is all about traditional vibes, serving up a variety of absinthe in a spot decked out with Roman masonry and a hat collection that gets more entertaining with each round

FAIR WARNING: DRINK RESPONSIBLY! When you’re out on the town in a yachting hub, don’t forget that everyone knows everyone, have fun and let loose by all means, but please be sensible. The man/woman next to you at the bar could be interviewing you the very next day for a job.

CONNECTING THROUGH CREW HOUSES

These crew houses in Antibes are where it's at – a mix of comfort, community, and great locations. Whether you're fresh to the scene or a seasoned sea dog, these spots have got you covered:

Crew Grapevine

This is the go-to for anyone in yachting looking for a spot on land. Tucked into the heart of Old Antibes, right next to the mega-yacht playground of Port Vauban, Crew Grapevine has three awesome houses that are all about that super-yacht crew life. Think big boats, close mates, and all the insider info you need. Check them out here!

The Glamorgan

Rolling into its 14th year, The Glamorgan is all about giving yacht crew a plush spot to land. Located in the historic center of Antibes, the house boasts that classic South of France vibe with its Renaissance/Italian architecture. It's more than just a place to stay; it's where professional crew become family. Find out more!

Debbie's Crew House

Imagine a tranquil Provencal villa just a stone's throw from Antibes, with both cozy studios and shared spaces where you can mingle or chill by the pool. Run by Debbie and Franco, who are well-connected in the yachting world. Take a peek!

Bohobos Crewhouse

If you're after a spot that's as close to the action as you can get, Bohobos has your back. Just a short walk from Port Vauban and surrounded by the buzz of Antibes old town, it's perfect for both short stays and those looking to kickstart their yachting career. Plus, air-con rooms and balconies mean you can enjoy the Riviera sun in comfort. Have a look…

As with a lot of things, Facebook can be a wealth of information for aspiring yacht crew, make sure you’re part of the Antibes Yacht Crew Accommodation page to get the latest info on the crew houses, apartments to rent and more.

Every spot has its own vibe for connecting and swapping tales with fellow yacht crew. Antibes? It's a great hangout for yachties, packed with cool places to grab a bite, have a laugh, and settle in to your new seafarer life.

Located on the Cote d’Azur tucked in between Cannes and Nice, Antibes is a vibrant seaside town full of character and the sort of charm you will only find in the South of France. Perhaps for this reason (and a large well-protected port), Antibes had, for a long time, already established itself as the main yachting hub on The French Riviera – no wonder why so many hopeful “greenies” looking to get started in the industry choose this destination every season as their starting out point in yachting.

Similar to most other Mediterranean ports, Antibes screams of history; originally the city was established as Antipolis by the Greeks in the fifth century BC before becoming a part of the Roman empire a good 300 years later. It was not until the fall of the empire and the following centuries of unrest that the city finally came under French rule during the 15 th century. Later on the port became the base of Louis XIV’s navy and in more recent times also suffered German bombardments during WWII due to its’ strategic location. Eventually, the once quaint fishing village became a hotspot for the international jet set and consequently turned into the superyacht port it is known as today – the largest in Europe!

For us yachties Antibes is the perfect place to be based – and to start out in the industry. Nearly all types of yachting facilities and services are found in the area, if not just a step down the coast. You will find a plethora of crew houses, crew agencies, training schools etc. and for those looking for work, most marinas are easy to access making dockwalking fairly straight forward. Yachts of all sizes are moored in the marinas along the riviera and it is both easy and economical to travel to other ports such as Cannes, Nice and Monaco – and even into Italy.

Just a short walk from Port Vauban, inside the city walls the narrow cobblestone streets are full of quaint little cafes, bars, restaurants and small boutiques. Not to be missed is the colourful city market “Le Marché Provençal”, a typical French market boasting farmers’ fresh produce (did anyone say “fromage”?), charcuterie, fruit, flowers, food stalls, local crafts, clothes and fabrics – you name it!

As if this is not enough, Antibes also offers some of the best beaches on the French Riviera. Get yourself a great tan or go explore the South of France by bus and train – or by car if your budget allows. Hiring a car venturing up into the Alps with a few good mates or perhaps setting off on a long-weekend road trip around the villages of Provence is one of those experiences that will make your friends at home green with envy. France has so much to offer and it would be almost criminal not to take advantage of it while you are there!

One thing is for sure; Antibes and the Cote d’Azur will stay with you forever. Perhaps you will even follow in the footsteps of 100s if not 1000s of other yachties and settle here one day. Bienvenu!

Antibes Information

Enjoying antibes, crew houses, property agencies, flat shares, room booking sites, transport info, tourist information, crew training, crew agencies, marinas and shipyards, crew medical services, emergency contacts.

1 Reserve crew house well in advance The yachting hubs get very busy during the season with crew houses known to be fully booked from the end of March throughout June-ish. If you decide to stay in a crew house, then it is vital to make a reservation as soon as you know when you will be going. Make sure to bring a printed confirmation. A listing of crew houses can be found in the Crew Houses-section. Alternatively, you also have the option of staying in a hostel. HostelWorld is a brilliant tool to help you find the most suitable hostels for soon-to-be-yachties.

2 Passport- and visa copy Keep with you a laminated copy of your passport and any visa you may be required. This way you limit the risk of being stuck overseas without any sort of ID. Include your emergency contact numbers on the backside and possibly also your blood type.

3. Credit Card numbers Make a note of your credit card numbers and the related lost/stolen telephone help line. You can leave them on a note with your family, for instance.

4 Local Transport Whether you are headed to Antibes, Cannes, Monaco or Nice public transportation is quite good and affordable and will get you there easily. During the evenings or on public holidays (or when the French go on strike) your options can be somewhat limited. Tell the driver where you need to go, and he will normally let you know where to get off. If you plan on using buses and trains on a regular basis, then you can save yourself a fair amount of money by getting a weekly pass.

Watch your belongings when using public transportation. Several cases of crew having lost bags, phones etc. have been reported in the past.

This gives you UNLIMITED one-day train travel on the TER network, which is super useful for long distances e. g. between Monaco and Mandelieu etc. To save yourself a lot of money, inquire about the current plans at any train station. Happy train travels and once again, watch your belongings!

Tram: To get on the train, you will need to travel by Tram line 2 to either Gare Nice-St Augustin or Gare Nice-Ville. You can catch the tram by exit A0 in Terminal 1 or exit A2 in Terminal 2.

Trams start at 8am and stop running from somewhere between19.00 -21.00h all depending on the day of the week. For further info, please see the Tram Schedule The tram fare is FREE if you travel to the Grand Arenas-station. All other stations are 1.50 Euros. Going TO the airport make sure to get the AEROPORT connection and NOT the CADAM – they are easily confused! !

Alternatively, you can also take the Aeroport Direct-bus which operates early mornings and evenings to get to the train station.

Uber: Another popular option is Uber, the door-to-door service. Once you have downloaded the app, you can check the price to your destination and book your ride via the app. Pricier than the bus and the train, but it will get you to your destination safely and without any uncertainties.

5. ATMs: A few good pointers to how you can save money / avoid being scammed when using ATMs and shopping with your bank card overseas;

– ALWAYS withdraw in LOCAL currency (US$ in US, EUROS in EU/Euro zone, GBP in UK, Rand in South Africa, Swiss Francs in Switzerland etc. )

– ALWAYS decline conversion (leave it to your own bank)

– ALWAYS pay good attention to the transaction fee – in particular in areas with lots of nightlife. (one yachty experienced being charged 50 USD in Cancun just to withdraw 100 USD! ! ! )

– Some ATMs will offer quite large amounts (to make a larger profit from the transaction). In such case, see what your alternative options are.

Check out this great explanatory video where you will see how it works in real life. Potentially, it will save you a lot of money!

6 Get a local SIM card Getting yourself set up with a local telephone number is not strictly required. Yet, people prefer to call local numbers rather than overseas numbers despite everyone being on WhatsApp these days. Furthermore, you may avoid any roaming charges associated with your current provider.

In France many yachties use Free Mobile Sosh Mobile

Free Mobile is the most widely used service by yachties in the South of France. The closest Free Mobile store is in the Antibes Centre Commercial by the big Carrefour hypermarket as well as in Cap 3000 (shopping centre by Nice Airport) in Nice. All are open Mon-Saturday, but with different closing times. Check out the Free store locator.

As soon as you have a local number make sure to include it on your CV and business card as well as updating your number with any crew agencies you are signed up with.

7. Print business cards and CVs

The sooner you have your CV and business cards (the French call it a Carte de Visite) printed, the sooner you will be ready to start the job hunt.

Both clip art and templates are available for free online. The very simple design above was made using Canva (which also offers great templates for your CV). They even give you the option to include nautical themes such as an anchor, a lighthouse, a compass, a sail, waves, a rising sun, a dolphin you name it…

Alternatively, for a very minimal fee you can have a professional designer create a print-ready professional looking business card (and CVs) on FIVERR. The design below includes double-sided design and unlimited revisions. This business card was designed by a designer starting her design service at just 5 USD.

Make sure to include the following information: Position Name Telephone / WhatsApp / Skype Short objective / Available for Daywork, Freelance, Deliveries, Full-time or Part Time work as applies to you Qualifications Photo (optional, although it will help the recipient remember you) QR code* with link to your CV

*Free QR codes can easily be generated online. Next, download the scannable code and include it with your business card.

Your business card does not have to be the highest print quality available, but obviously the better quality the more it will stand out. Many yachties use Moo. com and VistaPrint. com. Both are great services and well-recommended. You can work on this in advance and have your business cards delivered straight to your crew house or your home address prior to traveling to Antibes, although doing so you will not be able to include a local number.

Locally, yachties have been recommending business card- and CV printing in these locations (among others): Antibes Imprimerie 5, rue Vauban S. G. S. Print 26, rue Lacan

How many cards and CVs to print is up to you to decide, but somewhere around 50-100 CVs and perhaps 200 business cards should do you fine to begin with. It is easy to have more printed, if necessary.

As for printing CVs, one important thing to remember is that if you work on it or make prints in a public internet cafe etc. always remember to delete your CV off the computer, when you are done.

8. Get to know the ports Finding out which ports are most popular with superyachts is essential, obviously. Pick the brains of others staying in your crew house or hostel. They will most likely know where to go. Some marinas will be way better for dockwalking than others. Some may be gated, while others may have easy access. Some may have lots of large yachts, while others are for small pleasure yachts with no professional crew on board.

And then there are the shipyards, where there is always work going on. They will usually have security by the gate, often with strict security measures. There is a good reason for that; other than providing security for their clients, with a lot of heavy machinery moving around and the type of work going on, dockwalking can be dangerous, in particular for newcomers to yachting. Generally, dockwalking is not recommended in shipyards. Instead try and meet crew in the yachty bars after work.

Here is a list of some of the marinas and shipyards popular with superyachts in

FRANCE / ITALY

Antibes: Port Vauban, IYCA* Juan-Les-Pins: Port Gallice Golfe Juan: Port Camille Rayon Cannes: Port de Cannes, Port Pierre Canto Nice: Port de Nice Monaco: Port Hercules, Port de Fontvielle La Ciotat: La Citotat Shipyards** San Remo: Portosole Imperia: Porto Maurizio Genoa: Porto Antico, Molo Vecchio, Marina Genova Aeroporto Viareggio: Porto di Viareggio * Gated Marina ** Gated Shipyard dockwalking not encouraged

You can use MarineTraffic to see how busy the various ports in your area are.

9 Network There is little doubt that he large majority of crew jobs goes through word of mouth. For this reason, it is really important for you to start building a good network within the industry already from Day 1.

The more people, who knows you are looking for work, the larger are your chances of finding work. It is often seen that a yacht already employing a dayworker or two needs more dayworkers the following day. In such a case the captain will nearly always ask the dayworkers if they know of anyone else, who may be available. That’s where you get in the picture, but only if you have an established network. Here are a few of ideas of how to do that;

First off, build a good reputation for yourself as being friendly and helpful and be sociable.

When you do yachting courses meet up for a drink or two after training is over and connect with everyone attending the course on Facebook. If you do your STCW and other entry-level training keep in touch with your fellow students. Stay in a crew house instead of private accommodation. If you stay in a crew house be sociable with everyone. It is no secret that sailors like a drink or three. Neither is it a secret that the best way to meet yacht crew is either when dayworking or in the bars. When you daywork, be friendly and sociable with everyone on board without interfering with their work. You may run into them in the bar one of the coming days or perhaps in years from now on a different yacht! Try not to miss out on any yachting events such as boat shows, crew events, webinars or crew dinners. These events will normally be announced ahead of time in the Yacht Crew Facebook groups, among others. When you meet people in the industry, share your business card and within reason ask them if you may add that person on Facebook. Use Facebook to build your network. Set up an account purely for yachting and add other yachties and industry professionals. Be active with posting photos etc. , which gives them something to comment on. Make sure, they can tag you in job posts. In the Facebook group covering your current location ask if there is anyone, who might be interested to meet up. You could ask if there is anyone from your country in town or if there is anyone interested in participating in an activity that you both share (rent a car to go exploring for the weekend, go for a run, go to the beach, go on a hike, go to the movies, meet up for a drink, go to watch rugby or Champions League in a bar, go out for a pizza etc. ).

After work many venture out for a drink just to get off the boat for a little while. Crew tend to frequent the same bars, no matter where in the world, they are located. Some of the more popular yachty bars in the area are;

Antibes The Duke The Hopstore The Blue Lady) Cannes Ma Nolans Monaco Starsn Bars Nice Ma Nolans San Remo (Italy) The Red Lion

Long story short, making a good name for yourself and being proactive in your quest to build a larger network will pay off, eventually. The more people you know, the larger are the chances that work will come to you. Good luck!

10. Weekly budget Make your money last as long as possible. As simple as that may sound, you will have a fair few expenses including; Travel insurance Airfare Local transportation Accommodation Printing of business cards and CVs Mobile phone Food Drinks Training & ENG/1 Unforeseen expenses

Your expenses will vary all depending on the location. South of France is by far the most expensive destination in Europe, while Palma is not exactly super cheap either. Fort Lauderdale is somewhere in between.

To keep you going for as long as possible, it is really important to keep your expenses in control. A good way to make your money stretch a bit longer is to create a weekly budget for the expenses mentioned above. When you reach your weekly set budget for beers, then you know to kick back on that account for the next few days or perhaps you can go all in on cold beers and wine on Sunday afternoon

You can also save a fair amount of money on making your own food or sharing with others rather than going out for pizzas, kebabs and burgers.

In Antibes some have been using the local campsites in the past, which saved them a bunch of money. Unfortunately, camping is unavailable in many other locations, including Palma. Many end up renting a private room or share a flat with other job seeking yachties. These options are cheaper than most crew houses and hostels, but keep in mind the importance of networking, which will be limited in particular when renting a private room. If you choose to stay in a hostel or in a crew house inquire about prices prior to booking. You can find a list of crew houses and hostels in the crew house section.

There is also money to be saved on local transportation. To get you around, you can buy a second hand bicycle or moped on Facebook or travel by bus and train instead of by taxi, which is not exactly cheap in the South of France. Uber is also available as a somewhat economical alternative to jumping in a taxi. Most public transportation will offer discounts on multiple journeys or day passes so look into that. There are links posted in the Local Transport-section.

When it comes to printing business cards, then you can have FREE business cards printed on VistaPrint. They come with a small advert on the backside, but they do the job alright!

Phone plans continue to change, so it is impossible to say which one is cheapest and which one suits your needs best, but also there you can save yourself a bunch. Shop around, check online rates and if in doubt, ask on Antibes Yacht Crew to see what other crew recommends. Seemingly, most local crew use Free Mobile. You can find them in the Antibes Centre Commercial by the big Carrefour hypermarket.

Finding daywork is obviously a complete game changer when it comes to your budget. Suddenly, you have an income, which will make life so much easier plus you spend less if you eat on board. Keep spending your money wisely. You never know when you will find work next.

Putting a number on any of the expenses mentioned above is nearly impossible, as we are all different. Some will not mind sleeping in a tent, while others may want to share an AirBnB rental apartment. Some may be partying everyday while others will meet up for a cup of coffee here and there. Some may not find any daywork (it is not entirely uncommon, unfortunately), while others find daywork on day 1. In Antibes, count on a monthly budget in the range of 2,000 Euros overall (not including training and medical expenses).

Watch over your money like a hawk! It is not rocket science; if you piss it away, apart from having a good time, your job hunt may come to an end much sooner.

11. Training Having the right credentials is key to finding a job on a yacht. In an industry that is surrounded by rules and regulations, there is just no way around it. Common for all crew, you must have your STCW/10 Basic Safety Training (sometimes referred to as STCW/95) and the ENG/1 or a similar seafarer medical certificate.

The minimum requirements to work on a yacht depends on the position you are looking for;

Deckhand: STCW/10, Powerboat 1+2 including VHF Stewardess: STCW/10, Food & Hygiene Level 2 Engineer: STCW/10, AEC Chef: STCW/10, Ship’s Cook Certificate Desirable courses, which will improve your chances of finding work: Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) (all crew) Personal Water Craft Instructor (PWC Instructor) (Deckhands) Yachtmaster Offshore (Deckhands) Silver Service (Stewardesses)

If these courses are not available in your current location, you can do them in Antibes, Palma, Fort Lauderdale and UK – among others but remember to book your courses well in advance!

In the Crew Positions section, you can read more about which certificates are necessary to work in the position you are looking for and to progress up the ranks.

Course prices vary hugely between destinations. In countries such as South Africa, the Philippines and various Eastern European countries, you will find some of the best prices. In the UK and US prices are fairly reasonable while in Palma and Antibes some prices are at the higher end of the scale. It definitely pays to compare prices between the schools if you are on a somewhat tight budget. Do keep in mind any added travel expenses should you decide to do courses in other locations. Also make sure whether or not VAT is included in the course price. Some schools list their prices excluding VAT.

There are a number of training schools in Antibes. All of them have a good reputation, and prices are mostly about the same. Some may offer you 10% Palma Yacht Crew discount off some courses, but you will have to inquire directly.

Courses available in Antibes include (but are not limited to)

STCW/10 Powerboat Level 1+2 Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean Proficiency in Designated Security Duties (PDSD) PWC Proficiency / Instructor GMDSS OOW modules AEC 1 Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2 Silver Service G. U. E. S. T. interior modules Medical training

New to Yachting

• Dec 1, 2022

Antibes has long been known as one of the most popular yacht crew hubs so it doesn't come as a surprise that it features many notable crew hangouts ideal for meeting up with people from the industry.

Old town Antibes is located right next to port Vauban and is filled with bars, restaurants, and shops, all wrapped up in a lively atmosphere. You are bound to run into a familiar face as there are always yacht crew around.

Here is a list of some of the most popular yacht crew hangouts in Antibes:

Le Blue Lady

Situated in the heart of old Antibes, Blue Lady is an established yacht crew's favourite. It's a starting point for many junior crew and a settled cruising ground for the more senior crew.

Blue Lady is a great place to network and relax over a few drinks and a game of pool. It's such a popular yachtie spot that it's not at all unusual to even run into a yacht interview happening when you are there.

Be sure to also try their English pub food ranging from full English breakfast to gourmet burgers and salads.

The Hop Store

The Hop Store is an Irish Pub located just a few steps from the port Vauban and le Quai des Milliardaires. Known for its great party life, here you will always run into loads of yacht crew from all over the world.

The interior is quite recognisable with its old town arched walls, a dance floor, and a massive bar. Hop Store might not be for the more calm crew as it gets quite loud in the summer. During day time its a bit quieter with people relaxing over pints of beer in the outdoor seating area just outside the bar.

The Drinkers Club

The Drinkers Club is another yacht crew favourite as it offers a lively and engaging atmosphere and a great selection of beers and cocktails at reasonable prices. You will often find lots of people hanging out on the benches in the outdoor seating area. Since the bar is perched on a slope overlooking the market street, this is also a great place for people-watching.

Le Cafe Brun

Nestled in the heart of Antibes Old Town between the Provencal market and Port Vauban, Cafe Brun is a place where you can find a good mix of both the locals and yacht crew.

In the summer you will find people lounging outside over a chilled glass of rose or Aperol Spritz, while in the winter you can choose between the heated terrace and the cosy interior, which will make you think you are in a winter cabin by the ski slopes. If you are spending the winter in Antibes, definitely try meeting for drinks inside.

Also, don't miss out on ordering some of the delicious Mediterranean bites they offer as the food here is also really good!

An interesting fact is that Cafe Brun was created in a former boulangerie so you can still spot its original features.

The Absinthe Bar

In the heart of old Antibes, near the Provencal market, you will find this unique bar serving a variety of white, green, and premium absinthe in the traditional way. Known as the green fairy, absinthe is a highly alcoholic drink enjoyed by the likes of van Gogh and Picasso. If you are in Antibes, be sure to visit at least once!

The bar is located in an underground cellar and is decorated with bits of Roman masonry which adds to the charm. The Absinthe Bar is also known for its collection of hats that everyone can try on and pass around after a round of drinks.

Crew Houses

The Crew Houses are another good way to network in Antibes. If you are just starting out in the industry, staying in one of the crew houses is a really good way to connect with other yacht crew and really immerse yourself in the yachtie lifestyle.

Here is a list of a few notable crew houses in Antibes:

Crew Grapevine

The Glamorgan

Debbie's Crew House

Bohobos Crewhouse

Live updates: Seven dead in 56m superyacht Bayesian sinking tragedy

Seven people have died in the Bayesian sinking disaster, according to the BBC. These include the six missing people who were inside the yacht when it sank, as well as a seventh person who was located shortly after the disaster. The seventh person is understood to be the yacht's chef, Recaldo Thomas. The other six are:

• British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, once dubbed 'Britain's Bill Gates'
• Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah
• Morgan Stanley's chairman, Jonathan Bloomer
• Judy Bloomer, wife of Morgan Stanley chairman
• Chris Morvillo, a lawyer working for London-based law firm Clifford Chance
• Neda Morvillo, an American jewellery designer and Chris' wife

It is understood that the yacht was being used to celebrate Lynch's recent victory in a 13-year £8 billion fraud acquittal.

No one remembers the mast snapping before 56m superyacht Bayesian sunk, says crew

No one recalls seeing the mast snap on board the 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian which sank off the Italian island of Sicily on 19 August. The eyewitness account of a crewmember on board the vessel, which was obtained by BOAT International , said that the boat was struck by a freak weather event which led to the yacht heeling at around 20 degrees to starboard. As crewmembers were securing items, the heeling angle began to increase rapidly until the yacht started taking on water and sank rapidly.

The crewmembers who were up on deck were able to evacuate the yacht with minor injuries. The yacht is understood to have sunk in just twelve minutes, and it is believed that a "major ingress" of water from the top down would have caused the sinking, according to a captain who wishes to remain anonymous. This is based on the fact that no breaches have been reported in the yacht's hull, and the fact that the yacht should have been able to remain afloat with two flooded compartments.

"Very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" says captain of sistership

The captain of the sistership to the sunken 56-metre Perini Navi sailing yacht Bayesian has said it is "very difficult to understand what could have overwhelmed a vessel of that size" and called the 56-metre Perini Navi series "bulletproof".

David Hutchinson, captain of Rosehearty , said he had taken the yacht around the world multiple times and he had "total faith in the boat".  "We've been to Antarctica and Chile, and we've had her in 70 knots of wind," he says, and the vessel had never put them in a situation that felt unmanageable.

However, Hutchinson noted there were differences between Bayesian and Rosehearty ; notably, Bayesian's  74-metre mast, which would have been heavier and added increased windage. The yacht's layout was also different, with guest accommodation on Bayesian located further forward.

Live updates

• A search and rescue for six missing people has concluded. The final missing person is understood to be Hannah Lynch. 
• According to Reuters, six bodies have now been found in the sunken yacht. These include Mike Lynch, a British technology entrepreneur who co-founded Autonomy Corporation and founded Invoke Capital, although Italian authorities have not confirmed this.  
• One person was found immediately after the yacht sunk, and this is understood to be the yacht's chef. 
• Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, and a one-year-old are among the fifteen people rescued along with Bayesian' s captain, James Cutfield.
• Another sailing vessel in the area, the 42-metre Sir Robert Baden Powell ,  stepped in to offer assistance in the initial rescue.
• Divers have been able to reach Bayesian' s sunken hull, which lies at 45 metres of depth about half a mile from the coast. The yacht had the largest aluminium masts of any sailing yacht on the water.
• Eyewitnesses in the area reported "hurricane" conditions off the coast but local weather websites did not indicate any severe squall, which suggests that the weather event was not forecast.
• At around 5am local time on 19 August, Bayesian was hit by bad weather and sunk.  The sailing yacht was anchored or idle at the time of the incident.

Built in Italy by renowned builder Perini Navi and delivered in 2008, the yacht's naval architecture was developed by Ron Holland Design while the interior design is by Rémi Tessier . She was formerly known as Salute and was last refitted in 2016. She was listed for sale earlier this year, according to BOATPro . The yacht had accommodation for nine guests and 12 crew.

BOAT International will update the story as it develops.
