International Yacht Club d'Antibes opens its doors in Port Vauban

The International Yacht Club d'Antibes (IYCA) was officially opened in Port Vauban last week following a €135 million development project that included the renovation of the yacht club and its superyacht dock, Quai Camille Rayon, which can accommodate yachts up to 150 metres in length.

Sitting in one of the Mediterranean's highest-profile superyacht marinas, the new yacht club boasts the design talents of award-winning architect Philippe Prost and a wealth of upgrades intended to elevate the IYCA as an international yachting destination. The official opening ceremony was attended by key figures from the yachting industry, IYCA president Jean Pierre Savarino and regional mayor of Antibes Jean Leonetti.

The International Yacht Club d’Antibes Officially Opens in Port Vauban

By Emily Dawkins

Last week welcomed the official inauguration of the International Yacht Club d’Antibes (IYCA) in Port Vauban, Antibes. Alongside the launch of the brand-new yacht club, which offers an array of exceptional facilities for both owners and crew, the evening also officially opened the brand-new Camille Rayon Quay which offers berthing for yachts up to 110 metres in length.

The International Yacht Club d’Antibes officially opened its doors last week, welcoming those from the local and international yachting industry to discover the array of brand-new developments that now lie at the heart of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious cruising grounds.

French architect Philippe Prost, President of Vauban 21and CCI NCA Jean-Pierre Savarino, and Mayor of Antibes Juan-les-Pins Jean Leonetti, opened the all-new IYCA, with support from sponsors Palumbo Superyachts Refit, wealth management firm, Banque Internationale à Luxembourg (BIL), Blade helicopters and yacht insurance company, Pantaenius.  

‘Our goal is to be, and to become again, the capital of the yachting industry,’ commented Olivia Gordon Bourcart, Sales and Marketing Director of the IYCA, ‘I think the inauguration tonight is very important because it will really place the IYCA and the quay in the centre of demand. Our goal is to regain this appreciation of Port Vauban as the capital of the yachting industry, as well as to be a convivial place.’  

Arguably the most attractive and conveniently located marina in the world for superyachts over 80m, the IYCA’s recent developments have certainly caused a buzz amongst the Côte d’Azur.

As part of a €135 million development project to renovate the popular yacht club and dedicated superyacht berthing quay, the iconic Port Vauban has been transformed into a modern and versatile haven for superyacht owners and crew alike.

Behind this spectacular transformation? Vauban 21. Comprised of partners from the Antibes Chamber of Commerce and professionals from the industry, Vauban 21 began the initiative in 2017 with the goal of bringing Port Vauban to a new level of prestige and renewing its title as a superyacht hub. 

Undoubtedly, the recent launch and inauguration of the new yacht club and quay is a monumental step in defining Antibes as an unparalleled yachting hotspot. 

Penned by esteemed French architect Philippe Prost, who took inspiration for the club’s design from the exterior of explorer yachts, the new IYCA brings together unrivalled luxury, impeccable services and facilities, and an opulent social scene. Members and customers will find lounge bars, panoramic open terraces and private meeting rooms alongside a dedicated crew centre with a lounge, gym and training studio. A notable highlight of the new yacht club is the private helipad which allows easy access to the Port from the nearby international airport of Nice. 

Also premiered on the inauguration evening was the new Camille Rayon Quay. Now incomparable for berthing in the Mediterranean, the quay offers only 20 exclusive berths for superyachts over 80m, with its largest berth capable of handling a yacht of 150 metres. Alongside easily accessible services, the berths offer owners and guests premium security and privacy. 

Leading yacht brokerage houses Burgess and Edmiston have partnered as joint central agents of these berths, offering exclusive lease opportunities for owners of yachts from 85 to 110 metres. Available in 10,15 and 20-year leases with payment every five years, owners now have the unique chance to secure a position in one of the most prestigious locations in yachting. 

Alongside the new yacht club and Camille Rayon Quay, a significant amount of work to modernise the port have been completed underground including new water, electrical and pump supplies.

Despite the inauguration of the new yacht club and Camille Rayon Quay, there is surprisingly more to come for the historic Antibes marina, with further developments continuing over the coming year.

Burgess at relaunch of new IYCA facilities.

Published 23 May 2023

Members of the Nice Chamber of Commerce and the Mayor of Antibes were joined by the international yachting community and global press to celebrate the opening of the new facilities at Port Vauban in Antibes.

The International Yacht Club d’Antibes (IYCA) hosted a glitzy affair complete with dancers, cocktail making and a DJ. Architect for the project, Philippe Prost, along with Jean-Pierre Savarino, President of the Nice Chamber of Commerce, and Jean Leonetti, Mayor of Antibes Juan-les-Pins, officially kicked off proceedings with an address to the 200-strong crowd.

Olivia Gordon-Bourcart, Directrice Relation Client, Développement Commercial, Marketing, Port Vauban said, ‘We always say that Antibes is the yachting capital but I think we lost this for a few years. We were not up to the same standard as the competition. So our goal is to become, once again, the capital of the yachting industry. Tonight is a big step towards achieving this goal. 

‘We see the IYCA as a nice place to be, a nice place to live and a nice place to work. It is not just a parking space for your yacht, it is a very pleasant place to spend time.’ 

With Burgess and Edmiston acting as commercial partners, the new marina is more than equipped to reach its full potential. Rupert Nelson , Senior Partner at Burgess commented, ‘The marina is one of the few, if not the only one, that offers total privacy and seclusion. Unless you have a berth, you cannot walk down the quayside. It is not open to the general public. This is a very important element for our clients.’ 

The opening of the IYCA marks the first stage in the regeneration of the port. ‘It was important to do it all in stages, to keep work to a minimum and minimise the disruption to clients,’ continues Gordon-Bourcart. ‘The whole site covers an area of 43 acres, so we have a long way to go yet.’  

The IYCA has placed a huge emphasis on crew by dedicating certain areas to their exclusive use. This includes a gym and a crew lounge. The bar is also open for all to socialise together, crew, clients and guests.

Stephanie Bosi Delmasse , Burgess Broker, is excited to be working with Port Vauban, ‘This marina offers so much to our clients with a 24-hour concierge service supporting everything from bunkering to recycling plus the fantastic amenities within Antibes itself. We feel it is an ideal place for yachts to call home.’

Marinas and moorings in Antibes

Discover the top Antibes moorings

Antibes is one of the biggest luxury yachting centres on earth, with a huge port that curves around the horseshoe-shaped bay between the medieval ramparts on one side and Fort Carre on the other.

Book My Berth

Moorings & marinas

Antibes has been an important port since before the Middle Ages, when the Crusader ships stopped here on their way to the Holy Land, and, in the modern era, was the base of Louis XIV’s navy and was later bombed by the Germans due to its strategic importance during World War II.

Passing most of its life as a fishing port, Port Vauban of Antibes is today the largest yachting marina in Europe with 1700 berths ranging from 4.5m to 165m, and is logistically made up of two separate marinas, a professional fishing port and a shipyard.

There is also a small port at the base of the Cap d’Antibes called Port Salis, suited to small vessels, and the nearby ports of Juan les Pins, Port Crouton and Port Gallice, taking the total of Antibes-JLP berths to an enormous 2,800.

The IYCA (International Yacht Club of Antibes) Quay The privately-owned IYCA on Quai Camille Rayon , or ‘Millionaire’s Quay’, is probably the most famous of them all- for this is where the huge superyachts gather. On the IYCA, a 60-metre yacht s a minnow, dwarfed beside the palatial megayachts of Roman Abramovich, Paul Allen and the Saudi princes.

While there is a security guard posted at a boom gate on the IYCA to stop unauthorised vehicles, both tourists and visitors are welcome to walk along the IYCA, gawping at the huge shining yachts with their helicopters and swimming pools. And no, you can’t board ‘just for a look.’

If you do happen to have a spare €20 million+ to buy a berth lease, or fancy paying thousands a night to dock your 50metre+ superyacht, then you’ll be interested to know that the IYCA has plenty of room for the fuel trucks to dock, as well as waste services, electricity and water services and all the other things you’d expect from a luxury yacht marina. It also has a helicopter landing pad, that’s in case your yacht isn’t big enough for the helicopter to land straight onto its deck.

Port Vauban On the other hand, if you don’t happen to have that kind of money to hand and just want to dock a smaller boat in Antibes, then the rest of Port Vauban is a much more reasonable prospect. It runs from the ‘Old Port’ edging the wall of the IYCA quay, right around the bay to the shipyard beneath Fort Carre. This huge port has over 1600 berths-although these berths are still quite expensive and fiercely contested year-round. Many yachts will ‘winter’ in Antibes, making the most of the yachting infrastructure, suppliers and English speaking ‘yachtie bars’ that make this town a favourite for yacht crews. A lot of the berths are owned in an ‘amodie’ structure of share ownership, and many of the yachts have been berthed there for decades and barely seem to move.

However, with so many berths and a brilliant location, Port Vauban is indisputably a great place to berth your yacht, so book as early as possible. If you’re looking for a berth to buy or rent long-term, you can contact specialist berth companies such as Mooring Spot , while major yacht brokerages also list berths for sale.

If you’re just coming into Antibes on your yacht and are looking for somewhere to tie up for a night or two, contact the capitanerie (port headquarters) on VHF 09 to find out availability. The larger yachts will be based on either the Capitanerie Quay, the ‘Old Port’, or the Y Quay; the smaller vessels are mostly down towards the shipyard at the Fort Carre end of the port.

The professional fishing port is just near the archway leading towards the old port and IYCA and you’ll find a couple of small fishing charters and dive operators leaving from this area.

Port de la Salis The small fishing and leisure port of Port de la Salis is found at the end of the beaches at the base of the Cap d’Antibes. It has 220 berths for vessels up to 6m, as well as a little lift for haul outs.

Port Gallice Port Gallice is a modern marina and shipyard at Juan-les-Pins in the Antibes commune, accommodating yachts up to 45m in 525 berths. Well protected from winds, this marina has a travelift, a restaurant, shower and toilet facilities as well as waste, water and electricity services.

Port du Crouton Very close to Port Gallice, the small Port du Crouton caters to small vessels and local fishermen. There are moorings for 390 boats with a maximum length of 10 metres.

Marinas close to Antibes-Juan les Pins

For those wanting something slightly cheaper or if you can’t find a spot in Antibes or Juan les Pins, the nearby towns of Golfe Juan and Villeneuve Loubet also have popular marinas.

Villeneuve-Loubet Marina Baie des Anges is located below the immense curved buildings that dominate the coastline at Villeneuve Loubet on the way to Nice. This resort-style marina offers 574 berths up to 28m in length, as well as restaurants, boutiques, 8 hectares of gardens and a man-made white sand beach in the complex.

Golfe Juan Nearby Golfe Juan in the direction of Cannes has two popular marinas: Port du Golfe Juan and Port Camille Rayon , which lie side by side. Port Camille Rayon has 833 berths for boats from 6 m to 75 m. Restaurants, bars and yachting suppliers line the docks of these busy ports.

More inspiration...

All in all, it’s safe to say that there are a lot of boat berths in Antibes and the surrounding towns, making it an ideal place to stop and explore this gorgeous part of the French Riviera. With a huge yachting infrastructure and a long maritime history, Antibes is a fantastic stop on your boating holiday. Just remember to book early!

“I recommend you try and track down Splinter Fangman,” says Martin Redmayne, chair of the Superyacht Group, which researches and publishes on the industry. “He’s made for TV.”

If you need to park your superyacht in the south of France, he’s one of a handful who are the brokers for berths large enough for billionaires.

Despite his Wild West name, Fangman is clean cut and gently tanned. He’s a broker for international yacht dealer Edmiston, the agent for new leaseholds for superyacht berths in Port Vauban in Antibes, between Cannes and Nice.

The port has one area known as the Quai des Milliardaires — the Billionaires’ Quay, officially called Quai Camille Rayon — recently redeveloped by the International Yacht Club d’Antibes. All the leases came up for renewal in the past two years.

That included A18, one of the “iconic” slips in the Mediterranean, according to Fangman. It can take a yacht of 160 metres and it was announced it had been sold last month.

Fangman won’t reveal the asking price. Smaller berths on the same stretch are A13, suitable for a 110m yacht, which is currently on the market for €13mn for a 10-year lease. A5, a mere 85m, is available for €8.4mn on the same terms.

There are only so many people with yachts that size.

One of them is Jeff Bezos, whose schooner the Koru, with three masts and sails, hit the water last year. At 127m, more than one and a half Airbus A380s, it is a prime example of the difficulties superyacht owners are facing. When he tried to moor in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, no berth was big enough, so the Koru had to take shelter in an industrial area of Port Everglades, with multicoloured shipping containers and steel gantries as its neighbours.

Yachting season is on its way, and the Koru has made its way across the Atlantic into the Mediterranean and, after passing by Gibraltar, at the time of writing it has stopped in a shipyard near Marseille. His is not the only big boat now on the move.

“Typically, now, you see a lot of marinas are still a little bit empty because a lot of the boats are in the shipyards,” says Fangman. “In about two weeks’ time, you’ll see all the marinas in the south of France and different cruising areas start filling up, with the boats kind of positioning themselves, waiting for charters, waiting for owner trips.”

The race for the largest yacht is well documented but the place to put that yacht is beginning to get more complicated. While ports such as Cannes and Ibiza rent spots for festivals and events, there is the question of where you station your boat longer term.

Most boats of all sizes only spend 10 per cent of their time cruising, says Martin Redmayne. The rest of the time is spent docked. “So therefore people have this thought process: we need a place called home.” That’s not just for the owners but also for long-term crew members — a place to buy houses and send their children to school.

The increase in numbers of the mid-sized superyachts, which are usually 40m-80m, means there’s increased competition to get a permanent spot. The “home berth” ports include Barcelona’s Port Vell, which has a good shipyard nearby, but is half a day’s sail from the cruising grounds of the Balearics. Porto Montenegro in the Bay of Kotor is also considered a prime leisure port. For the south of France, Vauban is one of the few that can accommodate the biggest boats.

“No more than 15 per cent of the berths will be on long lease,” says Redmayne. “But taken as a percentage of the bigger berths, above 50m, it may be 40 per cent.”

Leaseholders can rent out their spots to other boats to recoup some of their costs. At Port Vauban, around 80 per cent of subletting income is returned to the owner, according to Fangman.

A nine-year leasehold for a 100m yacht in Porto Montenegro is currently available for €7.72mn. But as with property, location is everything and Port Vauban remains the most sought after on the coast.

A18 is currently empty, according to open data maps that track ship positioning, at the time of going to press. Sitting alongside it in the Quai in other prime slots are the 78m-Montkaj, the 65m-Zazou and the Sibelle, a 67m yacht with five “staterooms” — more normally called bedrooms — and a wellness area. It is on sale for €27.5mn.

The Dilbar, the largest yacht in the world by volume, used to occupy the A18 slot, says Fangman. Gulbakhor Ismailova, the sister of Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, was placed under sanctions on the grounds that she was the legal owner of some of Usamov’s assets, including the Dilbar. It has left the port.

The problem facing marinas is how to accommodate the larger boats. It is due to the growing number of yachts above 40m, which are trying to dock in marinas that were built for much smaller boats.

“Owners are starting to understand that the berth supply is quite stagnant,” says Fangman. “It is extremely complicated to start a new marina, especially in the south of France [due to zoning issues and a lack of sheltered harbours]. With more and more boats on the water . . . the supply imbalances are getting out of proportion.”

Redmayne concurs. “Because we’re building so many boats here and we’re not able to reconfigure marinas quick enough. And to build a brand new marina takes 10 to 15 years of planning and local authority approvals so we’re heading for a bit of a logjam.”

Pressure is also building for mid-sized superyachts, “40m to 60m, of which there are about 1,000, and 60m-80m yachts, of which there are 500,” says Redmayne.

“These are relatively small numbers in the grand scheme of the number of ultra-wealthy, but you can see how the market has grown since 2000,” he says, referring to data from his research team.

It isn’t just a safe harbour. Boat owners are also looking for facilities. While major repairs happen in shipyards, a marina needs to be able to provide some technical services.

But it also needs to provide a good place to hang out. Antibes’ port was getting “a little bit tired and old”, says Redmayne. “If you look at the south of France now, a lot of the marinas are close to the end of their concession, so this is the start of a whole wave of upgrades.” Concessions are granted to private companies to run the marinas for up to 50 years. They, in turn, sell on the leases.

The International Yacht Club d’Antibes, under its new 20-year concession, has given its section of a marina a €135mn upgrade, including a new reception area for helipad users, social and fitness areas for crew and a new club house built by the award-winning architect Philippe Prost. His other commissions include the Ring of Memory, a centennial first world war memorial in Ablain-Saint-Nazaire that takes the form of a 75m-wide ribbon of concrete.

No Fort Lauderdale berth was big enough for Bezos’s boat, so it took shelter in an industrial area of Port Everglades, with shipping containers as its neighbours

Also added to the IYCA area of Port Vauban is privacy. It now has high-grade maritime security installed. “There are gates, you have to be registered to get in, which is quite attractive to large yacht owners,” says Fangman, who cites the issues around Kaos, a 110m superyacht moored in Ibiza that was vandalised with paint by eco-activists last summer.

For smaller boat owners, long-term leaseholds are less likely due to price. But for larger ones, buying a leasehold over renting seems relatively small beer.

“It’s a luxury, but it makes sense,” says Fangman, “if you have a boat for a few hundred million, to spend a bit extra and maybe even have multiple [berths]. There may be five favourite places where someone goes. It makes sense to buy in those main places where you have trouble getting a spot.”

Billionaires’ Quay – Antibes, France

Asking price.

Price: On Request

Billionaires’ Quay - French Riviera - France - Limited Megayacht Berths - Berths for Stopover, Passage and Temporary of Medium Duration Possible - Permanent Berths on Waiting List - Expansion Project in Discussions...

Berth Description

The BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY also known as the “IYCA”, currently stretches 650 m out into the sea and is the main breakwater of the entire port Vauban of Antibes. It has 19 berths for yachts up to 90 m in length, including two larger berths for 150 m and 165 m Megayachts. The leaseholds giving the right to use the berths located on this famous quay sell for record figures and they are extremely limited and highly demanded.

The berth owners of the BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY in Antibes are among the wealthiest individuals on the planet, and their Megayachts, the most stunning. Though this quay was an ambitious project in its early days, this section of the port is nowadays also subject to overwhelming demand.

Knowing how much Megayachts generate for the economy, since 2011 the port Vauban and the town of Antibes have projected an expansion which would double the length of the jetty up to 1,250 m, creating an additional 450 m of quay for 25 Superyacht and Megayacht berths, with the possibility to even welcome cruise ships, as well as creating shelter for the area on the north-eastern flank of Fort Carré. The cost of this extension is estimated at 230,000,000 €.

The exploitation of the basin of the BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY in Port Vauban of Antibes is managed by the International Yacht Club of Antibes “IYCA”, which financed and realized this project of moorings for Megayachts.

The BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY is located opposite the Fort Vauban hill and the berth layouts features a configuration essentially for Megayachts and some Superyachts in addition right next to the International Yacht Club.

The BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY of Antibes was built in order to accommodate 19 large pleasure vessels; It has been laid out as follows: 7 Posts of 70m x 16m 4 Posts of 80m x 18m 6 Posts of 90m x 20m 1 Post of 150m x 28m 1 Post of 165m x 40m

Mooring of Megayachts: A new system of mooring boxes is installed; it removes all chains, mooring buoys and brings to the ships security and ease of docking.

Heliport: The helicopter landing area represents a 28m by 29m rectangle. It has a regulatory sign allowing, subject to the authorization of the IYCA, the landing day and night. In addition, the heliport has four parking spaces.

COMMENTS Even if the berths are extremely limited and highly demanded in the BILLIONAIRES’ QUAY in the port Vauban of Antibes, Allied Yachting will endeavour to obtain you a berth for stopover, passage and possibly temporary of medium duration.

In this port reserved for very large vessels, it is important to be patient and to plan in advance for any berth reservation. Please contact us for rates and availabilities.

We will be periodically informing our clients on the expansion project, especially if pre-sales or an extended waiting list are opened.
