If you’re looking for a state of the art charter yacht, with all the toys, this is the place to find it. The Mediterranean yachting has had here a fast development due to both shore line configuration and inhabitants age-old tourism tradition. Here, the first and more equipped marinas were made. The largest pleasure crafts fleet in the Mediterranean area is located along this coast and here some of the most beautiful yachts in the word are chartered or sold.

Monaco is really a futuristic town, enjoyable, modern and with wide spaces for the social life, well conceived and cast in the limited space left between the sea and the inaccessible coast climbed by the beautiful "Corniche" bends. Underground the city gets more space, with roads and multilevel parking. The enormous space demands will be satisfied by smartly stealing it from the sea, around the Fontvieille area. Here one of the two main marinas of the Principality is placed surrounded by a large residential area and easily reachable from the Cannes International Airport by helicopters based just next to the marina.  Yachts up to 130 meters can moor at the famous Unites States dock, in the Condamine Port, in front of which the Gran Prix take place. 700 berths are available. The yachting club, with a strong racing tradition and chaired by Prince Albert, overhangs it. For those of you calling here a visit to the Oceanographic museum, the most famous in the world for sure, and a tour downtown, are a must.

The real yachting real, however, is Antibes. Here the largest private yachts of the Mediterranean have their home port, and the associated facilities can service to the highest standards. The old town, surrounded by fortifications such as Tour du Recrutement and Fort CarrF, was built on the promontory dividing the port from Anse de la Salis. Antibes, with its crowded alleys, characteristic restaurants, fashion stores and cozy bars, offer an exciting night life: one has the impression that sun rise arrives soon!

Cannes is even more exclusive but not suitable for large yachts. The town, the real Mediterranean center of international yachting, is located in the northern end of the La Napoule gulf, and is renown the world over for its Film festival.

The Mandelieu la Napoule port is located to the west side of the namesake gulf and is overlooked by the characteristic (and once again homonymous) castle. Mooring is always possible at La Rague port, located slightly to the west.

The stretch of coast lying between Drammont and Camarat capes, is the most beautiful and charming one over the entire French Riviera. Here, in the area sheltered by the Iles de Hyeres (where some small but well equipped marinas are locate), at Port Cross and at Porquerolles island "yachting" is the word. The most beautiful ports and the more exclusive resorts are located here. This is the VIP tourism, the night life and the sailing yachts realm.

Despite the growing popularity of St Tropez as a yacht charter destination, the village manages to maintain its gorgeous charm. . There are timeless back streets to explore, filled with boutique shops, delis and patisseries. The aromas of freshly baked croissants and brewed coffee waft down the cobbled streets to greet you. Enjoy a sunset drink in one of the many cafes lining the dock. Watch the sleek superyachts, maneuver into their tight berths, fender to fender. At dusk, it's quite spectacular to watch the evening lights reflect from the pastel pinks, oranges and yellows of the harbor side houses.

By day, enjoy the stunning beaches of the St Tropez peninsular. On the eastern side, lies three miles of curving white sand in the famous Pampelonne Bay. At Tahiti Beach, you’ll find the hangout of the rich, the famous and the generally scantily clad: The Voiles Rouge beach club.

The climate, cuisine and sophistication of the French Rivera, has for some time made it a popular destination for sailors and visitors from around the world. The coastline is striking, lipped with beaches that rest beneath hillsides heavy with yellow momisa. In summer you will find large numbers of charter yachts cruising the shoreline, although boating is possible here all year long. The climate is balmy, with long, dry summers, moderate breezes, mild winters and plenty of sunshine.

The French Riviera yacht charter scene is ever increasing in popularity and the types of yacht charter available in Nice, Antibes, Cannes, St Tropez, Iles d’Hyères and Marseilles are all types of yacht charter.
