Let us organise your perfect French Riviera yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Yacht Charter French Riviera

If the  crème de la crème  of yacht charters is on your to-do list, then the French Riviera is the destination for you.

Extremely popular and considered the best-loved cruising grounds in the world, the chic coastline of the Côte d’Azur has been luring visitors for centuries. If you’re considering a French Riviera yacht charter between June and August, you’ll need to book early, as this is the region’s busiest time of year when the yachting crowd flocks to the Med’s most celebrated spots. Work your way between St. Tropez and Monaco , finding sweeping bays with pine-fringed beaches backed with Belle Époque villas. It’s not all glitz and glamour, however. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle, a mix of small fishing villages harbor some of the most glamorous nightclubs in the world. Make this perennial favorite among superyacht charter guests and owners alike one of your cherished destinations during your summer yacht charter on the French Riviera.

The best time to enjoy a yacht charter along the French Riviera is from May to September when the weather is hottest and the Mediterranean Sea is welcoming – ideal for making the most of your yacht’s water toys. The peak season runs from June to the end of August and is the busiest. May and September are considered the shoulder seasons and are great months to escape the crowds but enjoy wonderful weather.

Motor or sailing yacht charter in Southern France?

Whether you opt for a  motor boat  or  sailing yacht charter  in Southern France depends on your preferences. A motor yacht typically offers larger volume, more onboard amenities, and enhanced comfort levels than a comparatively sized sailing yacht. On the other hand, sailing yachts are desired for the romance they offer and the enhanced connection charterers enjoy with the ocean. Of course, sailing yachts are more sustainable than motor yachts, using less fuel as they instead harness the power of the wind.

Northrop and Johnson have a superb fleet of sailing yachts and motor boats for charter in Southern France, from  30 meters  (98-foot) to more than 100 meters (382-foot). Contact our charter experts for the best selection of charter yachts on the French Riviera. 

What must I know about the wind and sailing in the French Riviera?

The French Riviera is one of the most popular sailing destinations in the Mediterranean, thanks to its superb sailing conditions, refined ports-of-call, picturesque coastline, and world-class marinas and service providers. The South of France boasts a minimal tidal range and calm winds from May to September, making it an excellent sailing destination.

Northrop & Johnson has access to a spectacular selection of sailing boats for charter in the French Riviera, including the world’s finest vessels. Contact our team today. 

Which places do I want to be seen at on the French Riviera?

The French Riviera has long been the favored destination for celebrities, VIPs, royalty, and tech titans. The most exclusive destinations to see and be seen during a  superyacht charter  include: 

  • Les Caves du Roy (St. Tropez)
  • Club 55 (St. Tropez)
  • La Guérite (Ile Sainte Marguerite, off of the coats of Cannes)
  • Club Dauphin (Cap Ferrat)
  • Jimmy’z Monte Carlo (Monaco)
  • Monte Carlo Beach (Monaco)

What are the best events to attend on a South of France yacht charter?

Some of the best events to attend during a South of France yacht rental include:

  • Rolex Masters Monte Carlo
  • Cannes Film Festival
  • Monaco Grand Prix
  • Les Voiles d’Antibes
  • Monaco Red Cross Ball
  • Cannes Yachting Festival
  • Monaco Yacht Show
  • Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

The best yachts are in high demand during these sought-after events, with many hosting extravagant parties. Contact Northrop & Johnson’s team to reserve your vessel if you want to attend any of these events. 

What do I have to consider when chartering a yacht in the South of France?

As one of the most sought-after cruising destinations in the  Mediterranean , the best charter yachts are typically booked months in advance. Marina berths are also often booked months in advance, especially around key events such as the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Monaco Yacht Show. To be sure that you take advantage of the best selection of yachts and marina berths, especially those in the most exclusive such as Port Hercules and St Tropez, be sure to reserve your yacht rental in advance. Contact the team at Northrop & Johnson and let us curate a holiday of a lifetime along the Cote d’Azur.

How much in advance should I book a South of France yacht rental?

It’s best to book your South of France boat rental as far in advance as possible to ensure the best selection of charter vessels and marina berths. Typically  crewed luxury yachts  are booked around six months in advance. However, some  charter yachts  do have last-minute availability, although itineraries might be more limited in their scope. If you want to rent a luxury yacht in the South of France, contact the charter experts at Northrop & Johnson. 

How do I get a mooring in St Tropez?

Berths in the St. Tropez Port are booked months in advance. The best way to secure a berth in the St. Tropez Port is to book on the 1st of January when the booking system opens for the coming season. It’s essential to book quickly as the harbor is small. If you cannot secure a berth, you must anchor outside the harbor and tender into town.

How do I get a mooring in Monaco?

The best way to secure mooring in  Monaco  is through a reputable yacht brokerage, such as Northrop & Johnson. Mooring in Monaco is always in high demand, especially during key events such as the  F1 Grand Prix . Monaco has two ports; Port Hercules in the district of La Condamine and Port Fontvieille in the district of Fontvieille. A third port, Cala del Forte, is located in Ventimiglia, Italy and is operated by Monaco Ports. Those berthing at the port can enjoy direct boat transfers to and from the principality.

How do I get reservations for the most exclusive clubs and restaurants on the French Riviera?

Contact luxury  yacht brokerage  Northrop & Johnson. Our team of charter specialists boasts excellent connections along the French Riviera, ensuring we can secure your reservations at the most exclusive clubs and restaurants. 

Where can I embark on a yacht charter on the Cote d’Azur?

You can embark your  charter yacht  at almost any destination along the Cote d’Azur. However, popular embarkation spots include  Monaco , Nice,  St Tropez , and  Cannes . All of these destinations are easily accessible and are close to private jet terminals and heliports.

  • Aéroport du Golfe de Saint-Tropez (Private aviation only)
  • Cannes Mandelieu Airport (Private aviation only)
  • Toulon–Hyères Airport
  • Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (International Airport)
  • Monaco Heliport

How much does it cost to charter a yacht on the French Riviera?

Expect to pay a minimum of US$50,000 per week for smaller boats and up to 1 million plus for the world’s finest superyachts. Northrop & Johnson’s  charter specialists  can work within your budget to secure the best yacht that meets your needs. Contact us today.

Côte d'azur

The french riviera, french charm and chic parties, from extravagancy to endless beaches..

It’s no mystery why this breathtaking stretch of the Mediterranean coast attracts vacationers from all around the world. The famous Côte d’Azur coastline encompasses a string of exciting superyacht destinations such as Nice, Antibes, St Tropez, Marseilles, and Cannes, as well as some quieter, but very charming, ports such as Ville Franche and St. Jean Cap Ferrat.

The French Riviera’s natural beauty and rich culture are unparalleled: the sun shines on the gleaming shades of Mediterranean blue, the hilltop villages highlight superb panoramic views, and the lively atmosphere features a buzzing nightlife. During the 19th century, this treasured part of southern France was put on the map by wealthy Europeans who came to “winter” on the Riviera. As local fishing villages adapted to the new inhabitants and visitors, towns such as Cannes , Nice, Menton, and Monaco assembled magnificent villas, glamorous casinos, and grand botanical gardens – and the idea of the French Riviera was born. Influential French stars like Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel began frequenting the Riviera, helping transform it into a jet-setters’ paradise.

Beyond the coast, you can take advantage of the region’s spectacular hilltop villages and mountain scenery, vineyards, palaces, flower farms, and more than your fair share of art museums. Whether you prefer the ritzy lifestyle of Saint-Tropez, the laidback Antibes, or the swanky nightlife in Monaco , there’s something for everyone on the French Riviera.

The Perfect Yacht Charter Holiday

Travellers aboard yacht rentals flock to the French Riviera each summer in search of the sun, elegant social life, iconic resorts, and the turquoise blue waters of the Mediterranean.

Coco Chanel and Jackie Kennedy were often guests of Côte d'Azur in the fifties, and Hollywood stars, singers, and actors still frequent St Tropez and Nice today. Glitz and glamour aside, the French Riviera is world-famous for its sandy beaches, spectacular coastline, and beautiful bays.

Food and Culture

Finally, Côte d'Azur is a prime destination for foodies - the French cuisine has few rivals - as well as history and culture buffs.

The annual Cannes Film Festival is quite the spectacle for cinema lovers; the nearby Monaco Grand Prix offers a unique chance to rub shoulders with the rich and the famous, and the Monaco Yacht Show presents a unique opportunity to see some of the world's most prestigious superyachts and exciting new yacht launches.

Why Hire a Yacht Charter on The French Riviera?

A private yacht rental on the French Riviera is the most indulgent way to experience Côte d'Azur.

Sailing the Mediterranean at a leisurely pace while a professional crew takes care of the navigation, the itinerary, and every single detail of the journey is an unparalleled travel experience impossible to replicate on land or by jet-setting.

A Unique Journey

There's nothing quite like a French Riviera cruise as you traverse the azure blue waters, take in the views, enjoy cocktails on the deck, and drop anchor in some of the world's most upscale marinas.

A private yacht allows for privacy, freedom, and luxury as you sail along Côte d'Azur, exploring its dazzling coastal resorts, cuisine, and culture.

Prime French Riviera Charter Yacht Destinations

The French Riviera stretches for over 550 miles of Southern France's coast, dotted with volcanic rock outcrops, secluded bays, sandstone cliffs, and golden beaches. From the bonhomie of small rustic villages to the heady atmosphere of glamour and extravagance of the Antibes, Cannes, and Nice, Côte d'Azur is an exquisite playground for sailing vacations.

To help you plan your French Riviera sailing itinerary, we recommend looking into these highlights:

Known for its jet-setting culture, international movie star fame, and sophisticated summer living since the sixties, St Tropez is an iconic destination on the French Riviera. Renowned for its sun-drenched beaches, luxury yachts outnumbering local boats, fine wines, and roaring nightlife, St Tropez is the place to see and be seen.

Art and Culture

In addition to its glitzy social life and high-end dining and shopping opportunities, St Tropez will charm culture and history buffs with its stunning architecture, art galleries, and live music events.

Tahiti Beach and Plage de Pampelonne are some of the best beaches in town, while those looking for some peace and quiet will enjoy the wilderness and views of the dramatic coastline at Cap Camarat.

Nowhere in France can compare to Nice with its unique blend of modern city life, old-world splendour, sunny days, vibrant street life, and gorgeous coastal location.

If you're considering a yacht rental on the French Riviera, Nice is a must-see: its Old Town and Promenade des Anglais offer a fantastic sightseeing experience, the Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse museums provide a glimpse into Nice's long history of hosting artists and intellectuals, and the incredible views from Colline du Chateau are nothing short of breathtaking.

An Aristocratic Retreat

Cours Saleya Market and chic boutiques provide a chance for some local shopping and colourful culture, Nice's countless restaurants serve up fine-dining experiences, and the city's beaches are perfect for sunbathing in style.

An elite retreat for European royals and aristocrats since the 19th century, Nice is a true jewel of Cote d'Azur and an ideal starting point for a private yacht charter adventure in the Mediterranean Sea.

The annual film festival attracting movie megastars has made Cannes well-known around the world, but that's only one of many draws to the city.

Cosmopolitan, glitzy, and home to stunning beaches and luxury resorts, Cannes is famous for its sophisticated food scene, a beautiful Old Town, and world-famous La Croisette promenade.

The Old Port of Cannes is an excellent sailing yacht spot full of authentic charm, and the nearby Forville fish market is a great place to sample freshly caught seafood.

Finally, Cannes' close proximity to Antibes, Nice, Monaco, and Monte Carlo makes it an ideal gateway into the French Riviera.

Voted one of the most glamorous places in the world by Forbes, Monaco has been the stomping grounds of the upper echelons of society for decades. With is Belle Epoque buildings, a hundred-year-old Oceanographic Museum, flashy supercars, the timeless fame of the Monte Carlo Casino, and luxury superyachts frequenting its shores, Monaco is the ultimate capital of glamour on the French Riviera.

Famous Guests

The Hotel de Paris - Monte Carlo, once frequented by Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, and Salvador Dali, is now popular among celebrities like Julia Roberts and Elton John, and the Monaco Grand Prix attracts the world's mega-rich each year.

In addition to its international fame as the planet's wealthiest and most alluring location, Monaco boasts magnificent sunsets, turquoise blue waters, and beautiful beaches perfect for soaking up the sun.

Don't Miss These Hidden Gems: Yacht Charter Broker Advice

While St Tropez, Cannes, Nice, and Monaco are the major highlights of the French Riviera, there are plenty of hidden gems to explore along the way. Cote d'Azur is dotted with picturesque towns, quaint coastal villages, and secret spots perfect for exploring aboard a private yacht.

From the colourful cobblestone streets of Ville Franche sur-Mer to the pine forests and coves of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, dubbed the "billionaire peninsula", Cote d'Azur hides countless treasures to discover onboard a charter yacht:

Port Grimaud

Often called the Venice of the French Riviera, Port Grimaud boasts a maze of canals crisscrossing the city.

St Tropez-adjacent, Port Grimaud is famous for its laidback atmosphere, night-time market, and colourful architecture. A unique stop on the Côte d'Azur, Port Grimaud offers a different experience away from the tourist crowds.

Sanary-sur-Mer

A brightly coloured port town known for its mouthwatering seafood, a market voted the most beautiful in France, and sunny beaches, Sanary-sur-Mer is another escape from the hustle and bustle of the more popular French Riviera resorts.

Ideal for culinary adventures and sightseeing, Sanary serves as a tranquil little stopover during a Côte d'Azur sailing holiday.

With its laid-back beach vibe, one of the most spectacular superyacht marinas in the Mediterranean, and charismatic Old Town of narrow cobblestone streets, markets, and cafes, Antibes is one of the liveliest towns on the French Riviera.

Golden sandy beaches, the heritage of Pablo Picasso, red-roofed Mediterranean villas, excellent local cuisine and Michelin-starred restaurants make Antibes one of the most attractive ports on Cote d'Azur.

Find French Riviera Yacht Charters That Offer the Right Features

Chartering a yacht for a sailing vacation on the French Riviera is an unforgettable adventure.

However, choosing a yacht with the right features and amenities can enhance the experience: from onboard water toys, deck jacuzzis, and spa rooms to professional chefs and onboard gyms, chartering a yacht that meets your personal needs and preferences will make the sailing a truly extraordinary vacation.

Theatre Room

Even a journey to a place as captivating as the French Riviera requires some time to relax and unwind. If your chosen yacht has a cinema theatre, you'll be able to enjoy your own private film festival as the sun sets over the Mediterranean Sea.

Onboard Gym

If you and your guests love keeping fit, an onboard gym on a yacht is important to keep up with the workouts and feel refreshed and recharged.

The Mediterranean is a giant playground in the summer months, and water toys will help bring that playground to life. You might want to enjoy a peaceful time out on the water with some kayaks or paddle boards, or you may prefer to pick up the pace with a pair of jet skis.

Luxury Sleeping Quarters

When each day is done, your yacht should offer you a comfortable, private retreat to get some quality sleep and prepare for the next day. Some yachts available in the French Riviera have suites that rival those of the fanciest of hotels.

Timing Your Luxury Yacht Charter Trip - Watch the Weather

The French Riviera enjoys a long sailing season from May to October, seeing 300 days of sunshine per year.

Regardless of year-round mild weather, yachting is at its best during the summer months, especially if you prefer sunbathing, water sports, snorkelling, and beach life. On the other hand, shoulder months of early spring and late fall see fewer tourist crowds.

The Cost of a Yacht Charter Vacation

Hiring a luxury yacht charter on Cote d'Azur comes with a significant price tag: from beautiful beaches to the Cannes Film Festival and beyond, there is a lot to love about visiting the French Riviera in a yacht rental - and all of those selling points cause the prices to soar.

Just how steep the final price tag will be depends on many factors, such as the duration of your trip, the size of the boat and crew, and the features and amenities offered onboard the yacht.

While a weekly yacht rental could be had for less than €50,000, the price will more commonly be into the six figures and beyond. In fact, it's not uncommon for this type of yacht rental to exceed €1 million.

Two Types of French Riviera Yacht Charter Experiences

For most visitors to the French Riviera, securing a yacht rental is going to mean a motor yacht. This is an advanced, modern vessel that uses powerful engines to get around the sea with ease. You'll have no trouble spotting a variety of beautiful motor yachts in the waters of the French Riviera, so you'll have plenty of good company.

Sailing Yacht Rental

It's worth noting, however, that a sailing yacht is also worth your consideration. The sailing experience is a romantic one, where the journey is valued just as much as the destination. If you'd rather not be in a hurry to power from one spot to the next but take your time to see the sights and soak in the traditional Mediterranean experience instead, a sailing yacht is the way to go.

Ultimately, there is no wrong answer to this debate. Whichever way you go with your yacht rental, you'll be lined up to have a great vacation with your family or friends. With a professional crew onboard, a view of the coastline in the distance, and plenty of marinas to explore along the way, travelling the French Riviera in a yacht - whether motor or wind-powered - is something you'll remember forever.

Find a French Riviera Yacht Charter Today

Given the popularity of French Riviera charter yachts, it's important to make your reservations for the trip as soon as possible.

Whether you are interested in a sailing yacht or a motor yacht, work on reserving your private yacht charter right away so you can begin to look forward to the sandy beaches, luxury shopping, scuba diving, and countless other Côte d'Azur adventures that await.

Take a moment today to browse the options, and your dream sailing getaway will be one step closer to becoming a reality.

Alternative Mediterranean Yacht Charter Destinations

Booking a yacht rental for the French Riviera is an excellent choice - Côte d'Azur is a world-class destination offering countless awe-inspiring adventures and cultural experiences along the way. However, the Mediterranean Sea boasts several other fantastic locations to explore or add to your French Riviera vacation plans.

Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast of Italy is the only other region within the Mediterranean that can rival the French Riviera in terms of name recognition, popularity, and charm. Azure blue waters, pastel-coloured seaside towns, and delicious Italian cuisine, along with rich history and heritage dating back to Roman times, is guaranteed to take your breath away.

Balearic Islands

This group of islands off the coast of Spain might be a little overlooked by those who are chartering yachts in the Mediterranean- but it shouldn't be. Known for stunning scenery, amazing nightlife and party central of Ibiza and Mallorca, Andalusian vibes, and laidback atmosphere, the Balearic Islands are a great destination for sailing holidays.

When it comes to yachts for charter in the East Mediterranean, Greece is hands-down the most intriguing destination to explore. Sun-kissed islands, glitzy summer resorts, crystal clear waters and the wonders of Antiquity abound in Greece, making it an excellent sailing location in the summer season.

Tips for Yacht Charter on the Côte d’Azur

To make your rental easy and your boat trip successful, pay attention to these tips:

  • Ensure that the boat you rent suits your needs, considering the purpose of your vacation. For instance, ensure there is enough room for you to be secure and comfortable if you want to soak up the sun.
  • Ensure that you understand and are comfortable with the terms and conditions set by the individual or company you are renting from by thoroughly reading them.
  • It’s advisable to familiarize yourself with the yacht’s itinerary and nearby attractions beforehand. You may add variety to your daily life on a yacht in this way, and you might even find your calling as a guide.
  • A yacht vacation is fantastic, but as with any vacation, you need to be ready for everything. It’s best to talk to the crew ahead of time about any organizational concerns and potential complications. Seasickness is the primary issue, to which no one is immune, and it can develop suddenly and subtly. Ensure you have the appropriate anti-motion sickness medication in your first aid kit to prevent being caught off guard.
  • Delicious cuisine is an indispensable part of a trip. Take advantage of this unique chance and plan ahead for breakfasts and lunches on your yacht. They are sure to be memorable. To learn more about the boat’s amenities, such as kitchen appliances, space, and other facilities already on board, feel free to get in touch with us for detailed information.
  • Regardless of the yacht’s size, avoid overpacking; bring only what is essential for your trip. Depending on the season, consider wearing loose-fitting clothing like a T-shirt, swimsuit, or fleece is it’s cold. Wearing closed-toe shoes while traveling on board can help reduce the chance of stubbly toes and slipping.

Finally, make sure to reserve the boat charter on the French Riviera for a sufficient duration to complete all your planned activities.

The cost of renting a boat depends on the type and size of the boat, its newness, the level of comfort, and the season (low or high). Therefore, below are only examples of starting prices.

  • Sailing yachts: from 400 euros per day + captain services + fuel;
  • Motor yachts: from 850 euros per day + captain services + fuel;
  • Catamarans: from 975 euros per day + captain services + fuel;
  • Motorboats: from 300 euros per day + captain services + fuel;
  • RIB: from 420 euros per day + captain services + fuel;
  • Luxury yachts: from 4000 euros per day + captain services + fuel.

Captain services typically range from 150 to 300 euros per day.

What is the minimum rental order for a boat?

In most cases, the minimum boat rental order is one day during the high season, while in the low season, it is possible to rent a boat for half a day. However, it should be noted that there are always exceptions to the rule, so if you need a boat for half a day during the high season, this option can also be found, although such options will be significantly fewer.

How far in advance do I need to book a boat?

During the high season, we recommend booking a boat as early as possible, ideally a month or even earlier, if feasible. In the low season, booking a week in advance is usually sufficient.

What are the popular boat rental routes on the French Riviera?

  • Nice – Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat – Monaco:  This route takes you from the bustling Nice through the picturesque coasts of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to the luxurious Monaco. Along the way, you can enjoy magnificent views and exquisite seaside restaurants.
  • Cannes – Lérins Islands:  The journey from Cannes to the Lérins Islands offers an opportunity to explore these beautiful and relatively unexplored places with their quiet bays and historical landmarks. Saint-Tropez – Pampelonne: Set off from the glamorous Saint-Tropez to the famous Pampelonne beach, known for its chic beach clubs and crystal-clear waters.
  • Antibes – Juan-les-Pins – Sainte-Marguerite Island:  This route includes visiting the scenic bays of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, as well as a stop at Sainte-Marguerite Island with its secluded beaches and historical landmarks.
  • Monaco – Nice – Antibes – Cannes – Saint-Tropez:  Start your yacht route in Monaco, admiring the majestic Port Hercules and the Monte Carlo Casino, then head along the coast to Nice to enjoy views of the Promenade des Anglais from the sea. Continue sailing to Antibes, where you can see the historic old town and the Vauban port. Next up is Cannes with its famous Boulevard de la Croisette and luxurious beaches, perfect for water sports. Finish your journey in Saint-Tropez, enjoying the glamour of famous beach clubs and the picturesque old port, with the option to anchor in the Pampelonne bay.

When does the boating season start on the French Riviera?

Thanks to the amazing climate and nearly year-round sunny weather, the sailing season starts in April and lasts until October. The peak tourist season is in the summer, which is considered the high season on the French Riviera.

Can I host a private event on board, such as a birthday, bachelorette party, or wedding?

Our boats can accommodate any private or corporate event.

What is the maximum number of passengers a boat can accommodate?

The majority of boats can accommodate between 10 to 12 people. However, our fleet also includes yachts and catamarans that can accommodate 15, 20, 30, 60, 80, and even up to 200 people for events with a large number of guests.

Are there any restrictions on departure and return times?

Typically, most boat trips start at 10:00 and end at 18:00, but alternative start and end times can be arranged if necessary.

Is fuel included in the boat rental price?

Generally, fuel costs are not included in the basic boat rental price and are paid separately. The cost of fuel depends on the fuel consumption of each specific boat model. Whether fuel costs are included in the rental or paid separately is indicated in the pricing description on each boat’s page.

Charter a luxury yacht in the French Riviera

The French Riviera is the first place that comes to mind when you think of renting a luxury yacht. The coastline of the south of France is the ideal departure point for a day or a week on a yacht. From any port in the French Riviera, you’ll have beautiful beaches, scenery, crystal clear waters and some of the most picturesque views. It is easy to see why the French Riviera continuously tops the list as the top yachting destination in the world. 

How much does it cost to rent a yacht in the French Riviera?

The cost of chartering a luxury yacht in the French Riviera depends on several factors. The most important factor is when you would like to set out to sea. The French Riviera season runs typically from April to September with the peak months being July and August. If you choose to rent in these two months, expect to pay the highest rates. With the amount of yachts available to rent in the French Riviera, you’ll have quite the choice regarding the size and pricing. You’ll be able to sort from yachts starting at 1200 a day to 8,000 per day depending on your needs. 

Do you need a license to rent a luxury yacht in the French Riviera?

Due to the size of the boats, it is recommended that you hire a yacht with a skipper that has already mastered the boat. Luxury yachts are much bigger than your typical yachts and require more experience. Most of the boats will come with skippers so you can have a carefree vacation exploring the French Riviera coast.
