The Journey

An overview

The French Riviera is at its best when the coast becomes the road. Begin around Saint-Tropez and move east toward Cannes, the pine-covered Îles de Lérins, Antibes, Nice and Monaco, balancing iconic names with quieter hours at anchor. Swim before going ashore, arrive by tender for lunch, return to the yacht when the beach clubs become busy and watch the coastline change from Provençal glamour to the steep horizons of the eastern Riviera. The route is polished but never rigid: the yacht, weather and your preferred social pace determine how long you stay in each place.

Saint-Tropez for its harbor, beaches and Riviera mythology.

Cannes paired with quieter time around the Îles de Lérins.

Antibes for old-town character and one of the Mediterranean’s great yachting settings.

Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer for color, markets and beautiful coastal approaches.

Best time
May to October. June and September are particularly attractive for warm weather and a more relaxed pace; July and August are the busiest and most expensive weeks.
Group size
Fully private. Yacht size ranges from intimate motor yachts to larger fully crewed superyachts depending on the party and budget.
Pace
Refined and flexible: short coastal cruising, frequent time ashore and plenty of opportunity to linger at anchor.
