Sealion Superyacht Charter French Riviera

Yacht Overview

Sealion is a 62 metre luxury superyacht available for private, multi day charter on the French Riviera. Built by Viareggio Superyachts and refitted in 2023, she is designed for guests who want a complete onboard lifestyle rather than a yacht used only for transport between destinations. Sealion combines strong visual identity, generous deck space, and a layout that supports both entertainment and downtime.

She accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins and operates with a professional crew of 16. Sealion has received multiple international awards for design and innovation, which reflects how well her interior, exterior, and onboard systems function together during extended charters.

Along the French Riviera, Sealion suits itineraries that include Monaco, Cap Ferrat, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez. She performs comfortably over short cruising distances and remains stable at anchor, allowing guests to enjoy long days on the water without disruption.

Interior Design and Visual Identity

Sealion’s interior follows a contemporary Art Deco theme. The design focuses on symmetry, texture, and light, creating spaces that feel refined without becoming formal or heavy. High gloss finishes, layered lighting, and carefully selected materials give the interior a polished but welcoming character.

Natural light plays a central role throughout the yacht. Large windows line the main living spaces, keeping the interior bright and connected to the surrounding seascape. This openness prevents the yacht from feeling enclosed, even during longer charters where guests spend significant time indoors.

The overall atmosphere is designed to adapt. During the day, spaces feel open and relaxed. In the evening, lighting and finishes create a more intimate, elegant mood suited to dining and social gatherings.

Main Deck Lounge and Social Spaces

The main deck lounge serves as the social heart of Sealion. This space is designed to support multiple uses throughout the day without reconfiguration.

Seating arrangements encourage conversation and group interaction while still allowing guests to find quieter corners. A piano adds character and supports informal music sessions in the evenings. Advanced audiovisual systems allow the lounge to convert easily into a cinema or presentation space when required.

The layout allows guests to move naturally between the main deck lounge, dining areas, and exterior decks. Circulation routes are planned to keep guest movement separate from service operations, maintaining a calm and uninterrupted onboard experience.

Exterior Deck Layout and Outdoor Living

Sealion offers multiple exterior decks designed for full day and evening use.

The sun deck is one of the yacht’s defining features. It includes a large jacuzzi, expansive sun pads, shaded seating, a full service bar, and an outdoor cinema screen. During the day, this deck functions as a relaxed space for sunbathing and swimming. In the evening, it transforms into an entertainment area suitable for film nights, music, or social gatherings.

The bridge deck aft provides a secondary outdoor dining and lounge area. Shade coverage makes this space comfortable during peak summer months, and the elevated position offers wide views along the coastline. Many guests use this area for long lunches or sunset dinners.

The main deck aft offers another dining option closer to the water. This flexibility allows guests to rotate spaces across the charter week, which helps keep the experience varied during longer stays.

At sea level, the beach club provides direct access to the water. This area becomes a focal point during anchor days and supports swimming, water activities, and relaxed social time close to the sea.

Cabins and Guest Accommodation

Sealion accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, all designed for comfort during multi day charters.

The split level master suite is a standout feature. It offers generous living space, a large walk in wardrobe, and a spacious marble bathroom. This suite provides privacy and separation from other guest accommodation, making it well suited to principal charterers.

A VIP cabin on the main deck also features a walk in wardrobe and benefits from easy access and natural light. On the lower deck, two double cabins and two convertible twin cabins suit families, couples, or mixed groups.

All cabins maintain consistent standards of finish. Storage supports extended stays rather than overnight use. Sound insulation promotes restful sleep. Climate control remains stable throughout the yacht, even during warm Mediterranean nights.

An elevator connects the lower deck through to the bridge deck, improving accessibility and convenience for all guests.

Fitness and Wellness Facilities

Wellness is an important part of the Sealion experience.

The yacht features a fully equipped gym with cardio machines, free weights, functional training equipment, and yoga mats. Guests who maintain regular fitness routines can continue training without compromise while at sea.

An onboard masseuse allows guests to integrate recovery and relaxation into daily life onboard. Treatments fit naturally into the charter rhythm, whether after a water sports session or as part of a quieter day at anchor.

This wellness setup complements Sealion’s active lifestyle features and supports balanced charter weeks.

Onboard Atmosphere and Charter Style

Sealion is designed to support a flexible, guest led charter style. She suits guests who want variety, social spaces, and the ability to shift easily between relaxed and lively moments.

Some days focus on quiet anchor time, swimming, and wellness. Other days lean toward entertainment, dining, and social gatherings onboard. The yacht’s layout allows both styles to coexist without compromise.

Sealion delivers a charter experience built around comfort, atmosphere, and adaptability. She is particularly well suited to guests who want a refined but engaging onboard environment during a French Riviera charter.

Life Onboard Sealion During a Charter

Life onboard Sealion follows a flexible, guest-led rhythm. The yacht is designed to adapt to different moods and energy levels rather than impose a fixed schedule. This makes her particularly well suited to multi-day charters on the French Riviera, where each day often blends cruising, anchoring, and time ashore.

Mornings tend to begin calmly. Guests wake to stable conditions at anchor thanks to the yacht’s stabilisation systems. Some start the day with a workout in the gym or a swim from the beach club, while others enjoy breakfast on deck with views of the coastline. The layout allows guests to ease into the day at their own pace without crowding or noise.

Cruising between Riviera destinations feels comfortable and intentional rather than rushed. Short passages between Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez allow guests to remain engaged with the surroundings. Open decks and lounges encourage guests to enjoy the journey rather than retreat indoors.

Afternoons usually centre around anchor time. This is when Sealion truly comes into her own. Guests divide naturally between swimming, using water toys, relaxing in the jacuzzi, enjoying wellness treatments, or spending quiet time indoors. The yacht’s zoning allows these activities to happen simultaneously without conflict.

Evenings evolve depending on the group. Some nights remain calm and refined, focused on dining and conversation. Others become more social, with music, cinema nights, or gatherings on the sun deck. Lighting and sound systems allow the atmosphere to shift easily without reconfiguring spaces.

Water Toys and Onboard Activities

Sealion carries an extensive selection of water toys, making her ideal for active charters.

Highlights include a waterslide from the sun deck, an anti-jellyfish pool for safe swimming, two Waverunners supported by an RYA training centre, multiple SeaBobs, eFoils, wakeboards, waterskis, kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable tows, snorkelling equipment, fishing gear, and an inflatable swim platform.

This variety allows guests of all ages to remain engaged throughout the charter. Activities can be adjusted daily based on weather, sea conditions, and energy levels. Families benefit from the range of options, while more adventurous guests enjoy high-energy sessions on the water.

Tender operations are smooth and efficient, allowing easy transfers to shore in busy Riviera locations such as Monaco, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez. This efficiency reduces downtime and keeps days flowing naturally.

Dining and Entertaining Style

Dining onboard Sealion is flexible and guest focused. Meals are timed around activity rather than the clock, supporting a relaxed charter rhythm.

Breakfasts and lunches are often served outdoors, allowing guests to move easily between swimming and dining. Shaded deck areas ensure comfort even during peak summer heat.

Dinners vary depending on the mood of the charter. Some evenings involve formal indoor dining with full service. Others lean toward relaxed open-air meals on deck. The chef adapts menus to dietary preferences, cultural tastes, and activity levels, balancing indulgence with lighter options across the week.

The sun deck often becomes the focal point for evening entertainment. The bar, seating, and outdoor cinema screen create an inviting space for social nights without feeling overwhelming.

Sample French Riviera Charter Itinerary

A typical Sealion charter itinerary might include Monaco, Cap Ferrat, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez, with extended anchor time in quieter bays along the way.

Guests may begin in Monaco, cruise toward Cap Ferrat for swimming and lunch, then continue west toward Antibes and Cannes. Days are often spent anchored rather than in marinas, using the yacht as a floating base for water activities and relaxation.

Saint-Tropez usually features later in the week, with tender access to Pampelonne beach clubs and evenings split between onboard dining and time ashore. Sealion’s stabilisation and deck layout make her particularly well suited to this anchor-focused style of cruising.

Best Time to Charter Sealion

The prime charter season for Sealion runs from May through September.

May and June offer warm weather with fewer crowds and calmer anchorages. These months suit guests seeking a more relaxed pace.

July and August bring peak Riviera energy, including events and nightlife. Sealion handles this period well due to her space, privacy, and ability to offer a calm onboard environment even near busy ports.

September provides warm water and reduced crowd pressure, making it ideal for longer stays and guests who want balance without sacrificing conditions.

Who Sealion Is Best Suited For

Sealion suits guests who value variety, atmosphere, and flexibility.

She works particularly well for families and multigenerational groups due to her cabin layout, elevator access, and extensive water toy selection. Social groups appreciate the entertainment spaces, sun deck setup, and onboard cinema.

Guests who enjoy wellness benefit from the gym, onboard masseuse, and relaxed daily rhythm. Sealion is less suited to ultra-minimalist or ultra-quiet charters and excels when guests want a balance of relaxation and lively social moments.

Why Choose Sealion for a French Riviera Charter

Sealion offers a rare combination of refined design, entertainment capability, and practical charter functionality. Her layout supports how guests actually use a yacht over a full week, rather than focusing on aesthetics alone.

She delivers comfort at anchor, flexibility underway, and atmosphere in the evenings. For guests seeking a luxury superyacht charter on the French Riviera that balances elegance with energy, Sealion is a strong and reliable choice.
