Iconic Riviera Moments
The French Riviera is closely tied to international events and seasonal highlights that shape the rhythm of the coastline. Yacht charters during these periods focus on positioning, timing, and atmosphere, allowing guests to experience the energy of the Riviera from the water without long cruising distances or fixed schedules.
Coastal Escapes and Day Cruising
Short passages define much of the Riviera experience. Yachts move easily between sheltered bays, calm anchorages, and lively ports within a single day. Swimming stops, relaxed lunches onboard, and smooth coastal cruising create a balanced pace suited to both half-day and full-day charters.
Refined Onboard Living
Protected waters and stable conditions support a lifestyle centred on comfort and ease. Time onboard is spent sunbathing, dining, and socialising rather than navigating open seas. The experience appeals to guests who value attentive service, scenic surroundings, and an unhurried flow throughout the day.

Located just offshore from Cannes, the Lérins Islands offer calm anchorages, clear water, and a natural setting that contrasts with the mainland coastline. The area is commonly included in day charters and short itineraries for swimming, relaxed lunch stops, and quiet time at anchor.
Cap d’Antibes and Cap Ferrat
These coastal stretches are known for sheltered bays, scenic cliffs, and discreet anchor points close to major ports. They are frequently visited during Riviera charters, offering a balance between easy access and a quieter atmosphere on the water.
Porquerolles and the Hyères Islands
Further west along the Riviera, the Hyères Islands provide a more natural cruising environment with clear water and open beaches. These areas are often included in multi-day itineraries for guests seeking a slower pace and less developed surroundings.
