The Best French Riviera Yachting Destinations

Saint-Tropez

Saint Tropez, yacht charter South of France

The absolute height of luxury even in the French Riviera, Saint-Tropez plays host to fashionable beach clubs, world-class dining and an infamous party scene. Pop some champagne at Les Caves du Roy, the most prestigious nightclub in France, and live it up until the break of dawn.

Once you’ve had your fill of life’s luxuries and start craving a slower pace, you don’t have to go far to find it. Many areas of Saint-Tropez retain their rustic charm, made all the more idyllic by their contrast to the Hollywood lifestyle. Sail out to the île de Porquerolles to wander through the local vineyards, then settle with a delectable bottle of wine on a quiet beach to enjoy the peace.

Antibes

Antibes combines relaxed charm with all the romance of southern France, creating a unique atmosphere that once inspired the works of Picasso. In keeping with this creative spirit, the city is also well known for its lively jazz nightlife, with many famous restaurants to intoxicate your tastebuds.

Visit Cap d’Antibes to escape the world among its many coves and bays, then sail through Millionaire’s Bay to gaze upon the distinguished villas beset by dense pine forests. Then head inland to take a relaxed lunch before lounging in a nearby beach club to find your inner peace.

Of the many notable landmarks in Antibes is the 16th century Fort Carré, a star-shaped fortress that once kept Napoleon under lock and key. And in more recent times, the site was used as the setting of the 1983 movie ‘Never Say Never Again’, starring Sean Connery as the dashing James Bond.

Nice

A welcome relief from the noise and glamor of its neighboring cities, Nice embodies the matchless sophistication and style of the French Riviera.

Delve into the local culture with a visit to the Musée Matisse, and enjoy an evening of ballet at the Opéra Nice. And if you’re visiting in mid-February, prepare to take part in the famous Nice Carnival.

The French Riviera Yacht Charter FAQ with Worth Avenue Yachts

When is the best time to visit the French Riviera?

The best time to visit the French Riviera is between May and September, when the weather is warmest and the Mediterranean Sea is most welcoming.
Peak season runs from June to the end of August. But if you’d prefer to enjoy your French Riviera luxury yacht charter vacation without the bustling crowds, consider visiting in May or September instead.

What is sailing like in the French Riviera?

The spectacular sailing conditions of the French Riviera make it one of the Mediterranean’s most popular yachting destinations. From May to September, the south of France has a minimal tidal range and calm winds, so you can expect a relaxed yacht charter vacation.

How much are the yacht mooring fees in the French Riviera?

Yacht mooring fees in the French Riviera range from €20 a night for a smaller yacht during low season in a municipal marina to €190+ a night for a larger yacht during high season in a high-end marina.
If you charter a catamaran in the French Riviera, expect to pay 50%-75% more due to the boat’s greater width.

How long does it take to sail the French Riviera?

It’s best to charter a yacht in the French Riviera for at least seven days. This will give you time to sample the local culture, food, and attractions.
But if you want to fully immerse yourself in the spirit of the French Riviera with plenty of time for rest and relaxation, it’s best to book a yacht charter for two weeks or more.
