Monaco Yacht Charter, French Riviera Yacht Charter, Italian Riviera Yacht Charter

French Riviera Yacht Charters - Crowned with golden beaches, dressed with glittering boutiques, casinos and clubs, and home to the Grimaldi Royal family, the French and Italian Riviera is, quite literally, the king of yacht charter destinations.

Wild asparagus, sun-baked olives, rare aromatic herbs and spices, tangy lemons and fragrant fennel ... it's true to say that many people come to the Côte d'Azur to dine on the finest cuisine in some of the world's most famous restaurants, but many also come to soak up the beauty of the idyllic landscapes, rolling orchards and scenic groves where it grows - basking in seclusion and sunshine while overlooking one of the world's most fashionable strips of coastline.

The racy city of Monaco is synonymous with the annual Grand Prix and year-round jet-set living, but its exotic gardens and Oceanographic Museum are well worth a visit. From scenic anchorages in Juan Les Pins and Pampelonne, where beach and water sports fun earn you an appetite for lunch in Club 55, head then to St Tropez - capital of the French Riviera and a Mecca for film stars and royalty. After just a short cruise south, the heady mix of cigars and expensive perfume gives way to the fragrance of pine, eucalyptus, lavender and fennel on the rustic Ile de Porquerolles.

Enjoy a leisurely cycle ride across the island, and then relax on board for a cruise back up the coast to star-studded Cannes, and the next day on to the old town of Villefranche. Visit its gardens in a 16th century fortress and the Chapel de Saint-Pierre before Cap Ferrat entices you to its Villa-Musée Isle de France, decorated in true European style with exquisite classical furnishings, sculptures and paintings.

Mediterranean yacht charters

French Riviera Yacht Charters

Meet driver at Nice airport. Drive to Monte Carlo (located approx. 15 miles from Nice airport). Have lunch aboard your yacht and take the rest of the afternoon to relax.

Mid-morning, plan some time exploring the harbor or do some shopping. Water sports can be done just outside the harbor entrance if you are so inclined. You can either have lunch ashore or perhaps this would be a good time to invite your friends aboard for a cruise. For the evening, plan to dine ashore. I recommend the Hotel De Paris or Chevre D'Or at Eze. Eze is a small, medieval village above Monaco. This is also a great spot for lunch or sunset cocktails as the view is spectacular. Don't forget to visit the Casino in Monte Carlo.

Depart for Antibe (20 nm) and a berth at the International Yacht Club. This is where a line-up of the best yachts in France will be. This is also an excellent opportunity to explore the old city of Antibe and the early morning flower and food markets or visit the small Picasso Museum. You can also drive out to Cap D'Antibe and have a drink or lunch at the famous Eden Roc Hotel. A noteworthy side trip is a visit to Saint Paul De Vence. It is another medieval city that is full of artisan shops and quaint cafés. The countryside is also quite lovely.

Cannes is today's destination and is only 12 nautical miles away. Along the way, you may visit the Iles De Lerins. These islands sit a few miles off Cannes. They are beautiful and have many paths through the woods and are inhabited by a monastery and a vineyard. Once in Cannes, you will find a number of great little restaurants on the back street behind the Hotel De Ville. The Casino de Festival, the Martinez or Carlton for cocktails is also fun. For walkers, a stroll along the waterfront offers a great opportunity to stretch your legs.

Early departure after breakfast for St. Tropez (26 nm). This passage is along a section of the coast which is beautiful and a good time to pass the morning sunbathing on deck and taking in the sights. Mid-morning to noon arrival into St. Tropez. The day could be spent in St. Tropez along the beaches or shopping in the town.

Depart in the morning after breakfast for Ville Franche (50nm). This is a lovely small harbor and bay. A great place for water sports as the anchorage is very calm and protected. There are great seafood restaurants along the Quay. If you missed Eze you are still in range for the trip up. The town of Beaulieu is a very charming place for dinner or for an early evening stroll.

Today will take us to San Remo (43 nm), the flower capital of Italy. You will be able to see the many hot houses (greenhouses) that line the cliffs. Berth at Porto Sole' and take advantage of the many sidewalk café's in the old port. There are many fine restaurants in San Remo (I recommend Ristorante da Giannino) and also a Casino. For early risers you can accompany the chef to the market for fresh produce, flowers and bread.

Pre-dawn departure for Portofino (90nm) 5.5 hours. It will be mid-week, so this small, quaint but cosmopolitan port should not be crowded. You may anchor off here or you might be fortunate enough to get a berth. If it is too crowded, you can always anchor off Ste. Margherita and take the yacht's tender to Portofino. Take most of the day for water sports and just relaxing and enjoying the sights around Portofino and Ste. Margherita.

Begin the day with a breakfast cruise south to Spezia and Cinque Terre. The hillside along this stretch is a beautiful backdrop. Cinque Terre is a cluster of small villages along the cliffs off the coast. They are hard to reach and have become a nice hidden area that has attracted artists through the years. La Spezia is a wonderful old coastal city. Continue south to arrive in Viareggio or Livorno. Both of these towns are commercial ports, so they are not as scenic as other ports along the way. They are well situated and either location will bring you within an hour's drive to Pisa should you care to sightsee inland. If the pace is not too quick at this point, these stops can be eliminated. Capraia is also a good overnight location.

Depart for Elba. Spend time relaxing while underway. Elba was the island of exile for Napoleon. The residence and villa are worth the visit. There are many nice hillside villages and I would recommend hiring a car. The beaches of San Andrea and Cavoli are excellent for swimming.

Cruise to Port Cervo (102nm). This is an extremely popular (and very expensive) spot, so if you wish to be at the dock, make certain to book well in advance for a berth. There are many small inlets for anchoring if you choose not to secure a berth. There are many places for water sports and swimming near Porto Cervo.

Leave mid-morning for the Straits of Bonafacio. This area just north of Porto Cervo has majestically beautiful beaches and private coves. The barren landscape is a great contrast to the water, which is an amazing blue in this cluster of islands and coves.

Cruise through the Straits of Bonafacio to Ajaccio (approx. 60nm). Ajaccio was the birthplace of Napoleon. There is an old Citadel which dates back to 1554 as does the Cathedral. A few hundred yards from the Citadel is Casa Bonaparte. Ajaccio was developed as a resort along with Cannes, Nice and Palma de Mallorca. Overnight passage back to the South of France and a berth in Golfe Juan.

Golfe Juan to Nice where you will spend the night prior to your departure. There are many restaurants in Nice and your captain can recommend a good one for you to try. There is also plenty of shopping if you are inclined.

Sadly, the driver arrives to return your group to the airport in Nice.
