Yacht charter in the South of France: where to go
The South of France is where private yachting began, and it is still the most popular charter coast in the world. Between Saint-Tropez in the west and Monaco in the east, the Côte d'Azur packs famous ports, quiet bays, beach clubs and islands into roughly 120 km of coastline, so even a single day at sea covers a lot of ground.
Saint-Tropez and Pampelonne
The busiest charter port in the South of France. Anchor off Pampelonne for lunch at Club 55 or Loulou, swim at Cap Taillat, and come back to the old harbour at sunset.
Saint-Tropez yacht charter →Cannes and the Lérins Islands
Calm, clear water 15 minutes from Port Canto. Sainte Marguerite and Saint Honorat are the easiest swim stops on the coast, with the red cliffs of the Esterel just to the west.
Cannes yacht charter →Monaco and Cap Ferrat
Leave from Port Hercule for the bays of Cap Ferrat, Villefranche and Èze. The calmest water on the Riviera on most summer days, and the base for Grand Prix weekend.
Monaco yacht charter →Nice and Villefranche
A deep natural bay with direct access from Nice airport, ideal for a half day or a sunset cruise along the Baie des Anges.
Nice yacht charter →Corsica and the Italian Riviera
For a week aboard, cross to Calvi and Bonifacio in Corsica or sail east to Portofino. These routes suit larger motor yachts and superyachts.
