Experiences
The Riviera only a yacht can open up.
The bay of Cannes and the Lérins
Set out across the bay of Cannes toward the Lérins islands, with clear water for swimming off Sainte-Marguerite and quiet anchorages for a long lunch. The Croisette stays in view while the yacht holds the center of the day.
Come ashore by tender when you wish, for the town or simply a coffee on the front, and return whenever the day asks for it.
Cap d'Antibes and Port Vauban
Round Cap d'Antibes, past its pine-lined coves and sheltered, clear water, with anchorages made for swimming and time at ease. Antibes and Port Vauban, the heart of the Riviera's yachting world, sit a short cruise away.
A considered day that never strays far from port, and explains why the finest yachts gather on this stretch of coast.
Nice, Villefranche and Cap Ferrat
Head into the deep blue bays east of Nice, from the natural harbour of Villefranche to the gardens of Cap Ferrat, with sheltered water for swimming and lunch at anchor. The coast turns quieter and more secluded with every mile.
The road and the hotel rhythm fall away; the day belongs to the sea.
Monaco and Monte-Carlo
Cruise east to the principality, with Monaco within easy reach for lunch, the harbour, or an evening ashore. Anchor off the coast for the afternoon, then arrive into Port Hercule when the day calls for it.
The most storied stretch of the Riviera, seen the way it is meant to be seen, from the water.
Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne
Turn west for Saint-Tropez and the long sweep of Pampelonne, with sheltered bays for swimming and the choice of lunch on board or ashore. The town arrives gently from the sea, without the road or the crowds.
Stay for the evening or return at your own pace; the yacht keeps the day unhurried.
