Port Vauban certified as a “Clean Port Active in Biodiversity”.

Fully aware of the impact of port activities on aquatic and coastal environments, Port Vauban has deployed a voluntary environmental management approach, focused on combating chronic and accidental pollution, training port staff, raising awareness among port users and implementing actions to promote biodiversity. Our environmental approach has resulted in the award of the “Clean Ports” certification, the only European certification specific to marinas (obtained in 2014 and renewed in 2017 and 2020) and the “Clean Ports Active in Biodiversity” certification, to be obtained in November 2021.

Port Vauban Antibes – The largest marina on Cote d’Azur

Summary: Port Vauban is located in Antibes, between Saint Tropez and Monte Carlo, in the heart of Cote d’Azur. This natural harbour has a long history, dating from Roman times, later fortified by Sebastien Le Prestre, and nowadays home for more than 1642 yachts, making it the biggest port on the Mediterranean Sea.

At the beginning of the 20 th century, it served as a port for ships and as an airport for seaplanes, but the harbour that we see today started to be developed at the beginning of 1970. Sheltered behind the walls of the 16 th century city ramparts, it hosts a large variety of motorboats, yachts, and mega-yachts.

How to get there

If you decide to reach the marina by plane, the closest airports are Nice Cote d’Azur Airport or Cannes Mandelieu Airport , both situated at around 30 minutes' drive from the marina. For the customers occupying the berths on the IYCA, there is also a helipad, if you arrive by helicopter.

If you arrive by car, follow the ‘Antibes’ road signs and then ‘Antibes Port’.

Features and amenities

If you decide to arrive at Port Vauban by sea, a good orientation point to reach the marina is the Fort Carre , visible from 15 nautical miles, so it’s hard to miss it. The port is located at 43°35’4 N-007°08’E and once you get close to it, you can contact the port on Channel 9 to announce your arrival or if you need further assistance.

The port has 1642 berths, accommodating yachts from 4 meters up to 170 meters, and of course, depending on your yacht, depths from 2-5 meters to 7-8 meters for mega-yachts.

For safety reasons, the speed inside the basins and the access passage is limited to 3 knots, and also if your sailing yacht is equipped with a motor, you must use it inside the harbour.

In terms of amenities, in Port Vauban you can have access to:

• Electricity
• Laundry services

Next to the Harbour Master’s Office you can find the fuel station. During summer months it is open from 8:00 to 20:00 and it is selling both diesel and petrol.

Weather in Marina Grande

On the Côte d’Azur, the Mediterranean climate will welcome you with beautiful weather from May to October. Summers are dry and temperatures can reach highs of about 35 °C in July and August, but fortunately, the temperatures are generally bearable due to the influence of the sea and its cool breeze. Winters are pretty mild, even if the temperature can drop to 7 °C in January and February. Rainfalls are more abundant in the eastern area mainly between October and April, while on the western side they tend to decrease.

Sailing in this area, the winds will usually be calm and will blow from North-West, but close to Port Vauban the prevailing wind blows from East. In terms of sailing around this area, the captains should always take into consideration the intense north-westerly wind, the Mistral . It blows mainly in winter time but, occasionally, it blows on the coasts during the summer too. It can reach up to 185 km/h, however, in summer time is less intense and not as frequent as the southeast wind. As a bottom line, the best sailing season on Cote d’Azur is from May to September.

Sightseeing in Antibes

This classic resort town offers all the attractions of a summertime vacation destination: sunny days, sandy beaches, and a lively holiday ambience. Antibes has 23 kilometres of coastline with dozens of beaches overlooking the serene blue Mediterranean Sea. The beautiful natural setting of pine groves and sea views inspired Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and other artists, who captured the scenery in vibrant paintings.

The walled Old Town of Antibes is an inviting place to wander at a leisurely pace. The narrow, winding cobblestone streets are filled with little boutiques, gourmet food shops, cafés and restaurants. In the old town you should not miss two top attractions: the Archaeological Museum of Antibes and the renowned Picasso Museum .

Le Fort Carre it’s another landmark for Antibes. This 16th century fort with a unique star shape will amaze you with the panoramic views and scenic grounds.

After admiring the Old Town's atmospheric pedestrian lanes and ancient stone buildings and having a cold drink accompanied by a traditional dish, you should definitely go for a stroll along the ramparts. Overlooking the Baie des Anges, the path along the city's historic fortifications offers an exceptional panoramic view onto the Mediterranean Sea.

We hope the information in this article will contribute to your decision for spending your next sailing vacation visiting Antibes and have a stop in the amazing Port Vauban , one of the top marinas on Cote d’Azur. The port offers great services and facilities, accompanied by the city’s astonishing culture and breathtaking landscapes.

The Ultimate Yachtie Guide To Antibes And Cote D’Azur

The Cote d’Azur has different cities in which you might be sailing, all of them worth knowing! This area is a little bit more expensive than other places in the Mediterranean due to the luxury lifestyle in this area. So stepping off the yacht after a long season will be a hit to your pocket, but hopefully, those charter tips make up for it.

If Antibes is your first port of call as a green yacht crew member, you are in the right place to dockwalk the entire Cote D’Azur. If you are looking to get your first job on a superyacht check out our mega post on starting out in the industry. It will give you extra tips and pointers to help you land your CV on the captain pile.

Getting Around

Uber works as a perfect option if you are in a rush, but keep in mind the high costs. A short trip will easily cost 15 euros, and going between ports will jump closer to 100 euros. Your best bet is getting the local train which runs the entire distance and frequently stops at the main stations.

More crew are starting to buy electric scooters, which are handy. Otherwise, keep your bike or skateboard handy. It gets hot in summer, and it’s a bit faster to get around. Antibes port is near to the old town but be prepared for a long walk if you want to hit up the beach bars on the other side. Wear comfortable shoes!

Expect to pay about 1.50 EUR for each minute distance in Uber (approx for consideration) whereas the single train ticket cost starts from 3,10 EUR. Bargain! (side note, you can buy snacks and wine on the train!)

Crew days off

All of the cities are coastal cities, therefore, all of them have beautiful beaches.

Stroll the laneways of old Town Antibes , find the beautiful markets and have lunch at a local cafe.

Visit Grasse , the city famous for the creation of perfums (30 minutes ride by car) 

Hike Cap D’Antibes for sports lovers (2 hours Trekking) and find the Plage of Garoupe, a hidden public beach.

You can hire kayaks off the beach in Juan Les Pins.

Things to do in the surrounding city if you had a full day to explore

Visit Eze , a beautiful city to walk and explore (City between Nice and Monaco) The hike out there is popular, and you can have a chilled glass of rose at the end of it in the village!

Visit Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco all of them are just 30-40 minute distance between them – if you are in any of these cities you will love to visit these neighbouring cities and explore. You can easily take the train and walk to your destination.

For something totally different- try Tandem paragliding in Greolieres .

Hire a car (or take the crew car if you can!) and drive out to the Gorges du Verdon . It’s a stunning spot just a few hour’s drive away where you can kayak, white water raft or do Via Ferrata.

If you take the train to San Remo , there is a cycle track that loops from the railway station to San Lorenzo and back. It’s 30 km in total and San Lorenzo is the perfect place for a nice lunch before you cycle back. You can easily rent a bike from one of the many places around the station carpark.

Take the crew car again, and go Paddleboarding at Lac St Cassien or the Esterels . The tourist offices have guidebooks for mountain biking, horse riding and local hiking trails.

Hiking, there are so many, some are close by, for example, a walk up a valley from Biot to Vallbone. Download the app called AllTrails for more ideas.

There is a forest canyon ropes courses and zip lines in Ville Neurve Loubet which make for a great day out. Also, plenty of bike trails winding through castles, and villages and offering something different from Antibes usual vibe.

If you are wintering in Antibes and want to get away, Isola or Auron , are ski stations less than 2.5 hours drive from Antibes.

Antibes Beaches

Being based in Antibes has its perks for you- there are so many beaches to explore. A word of caution though, during summer these are absolute hot spots, so get there early to claim your patch of “sand”

• Plage de la Gravette (aka the toilet bowl) is a sandy beach right in the heart of town, located right beside Port Vauban – it gets busy in summer because of its location.
• Plage de la Salis and Ponteil are two sandy beaches a short distance from old town Antibes – there are ‘snacks’ (food kiosks) located there, public toilets and a sailing club where you can hire kayaks, windsurfers etc.  
• If you want a private beach, Royal Beach has a nice outlook on the sea and offers loungers and umbrellas for a fee.
• A bit further from Antibes, Plage de la Garoupe has a small public beach (super busy in summer) and private beach clubs at Plage Keller and Plage Joseph .

Guide to Antibes

An enticing cocktail of ancient and modern delights

Fragrant, flower-filled cobblestone streets sprawl out from the bustling central market place whilst enviable walled mansions are hidden amid dense pines, no wonder Picasso once called Antibes his home. Remaining one of the most enchanting and romantic old towns on the Côte d’Azur, its medieval towers, pastel hued houses and glorious beaches paint a captivating picture on the Mediterranean coastline.

Nestled desirably between Cannes and Nice, Cap d’ Antibes offers a unique charm amongst the glittering hot spots of France , featuring many colourful markets and chic boutiques. The heady combination of ancient Antibes with its Greek origins and 16th century ramparts scalloping in and out over the waves, sat beside the art deco elegance and unabashed glamour of beach-lined Juan-les-Pins form a fascinating yacht charter vacation.

Renowned amongst the yacht set for its marina, Port Vauban, the flow of boats attracted to the picturesque coastline adds to Antibes international atmosphere. Acting as a gateway to the Côte d’Azur , the Port is the largest in Europe and accommodates vessels over 50m, boasting over 2,000 moorings. Filled with a spectacular showing of the world’s most magnificent superyachts, it has emerged as a hot spot for Mediterranean yacht charters .

Boasting a reputation for the best beaches along the South of France , from the quiet and charming pebble beach La Fontonne to the delightfully pretty Garoupe Beach, Cap d’Antibes tranquil beauty is exclusively protected. The larger beaches of Juan les Pins are more built up with modern resorts, casinos, restaurants and buzzing nightlife.

Stroll through the stone bastions of the town and discover the evocative Picasso museum that occupies the former Chateau Grimaldi where the artist lived briefly in 1946. From here you can wander through the maze of narrow streets to the Cours Masséna market, where delicious local produce such as olives, cheese, tapenade and the wonderful charcuterie brought in by Corsican traders can be found.

Once the stallholders have packed up, the restaurants lining the market spread out their tables and evenings are filled with live music and plenty of revelry. For a surreal aperitif, head to the Bar Absinthe with its vintage poster-lined ceilings and its cave-like interior evoking the atmosphere of a 20th-century drinking den.

To find out more regarding the kinds of things you can enjoy in this part of the French Riviera when you arrive on board a superyacht, be sure to take a browse of all of the crewed yachts available to charter in Antibes  as these will be the rental options you have for private cruises in the area.
