French Riviera

Why by boat

For more than a century the French Riviera has been the sea of great yachts. In just a few days’ sailing you go from Saint-Tropez to Cannes, from Antibes to Villefranche and on to Monaco: iconic harbours, sheltered bays and a coastline full of villas, restaurants and beach clubs.

It is also the riviera of major events: the Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix in June and the Monaco Yacht Show in September are best experienced from a boat.

Departures are from Monaco, Cannes or Antibes, with Nice airport just a few kilometres away. If you are coming from Italy you can combine the French Riviera and Liguria in a single trip.

Frequently asked questions

Before you set off

Can you watch the Monaco Grand Prix from a boat?

Partly: from some berths in Port Hercule you can see a section of the circuit, from the anchorage very little. You will find the details on the Monaco Grand Prix page, together with Cannes and the Monaco Yacht Show.

Where do we depart from?

From Monaco, Cannes or Antibes, depending on the boat. Nice airport is just a few kilometres from the harbours.

Can we anchor anywhere?

No: to protect the posidonia seagrass, anchoring is regulated in several bays. The crew chooses the permitted spots.

Can we depart from Italy?

Yes, from Sanremo or Liguria, combining Portofino and the French Riviera in the same itinerary.

How many days do I need?

Three days for Saint-Tropez, Lérins and Monaco; five to enjoy every bay at leisure.
