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.

Immerse yourself in the allure of the French Riviera with insights from Charter Broker Kevin Damgaard in this engaging interview. Kevin, a seasoned expert at Northrop & Johnson, delves into the unique charm and opulence of this iconic Mediterranean destination.

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.

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.

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.

The coastline is striking, lipped with beaches that rest beneath hillsides heavy with yellow mimosas. 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.

More About the Key Places to See:

Along with Cannes, Monaco is one of the most famous destinations along the French Riviera for luxury yacht charterers. With its impressive deep water harbour, Port Hercules (French: Port Hercule), the summer season is marked in May with the Monaco Grand Prix and closes with the Monaco Yacht Show in September, however the city never rests and there is plenty to see and do: Casino Monte Carlo, the Oceanographic Museum, lavish spas, bars, galleries and gardens make for interesting days out at both ends of the budget.

Nice Nice lies quite close to the border between France and Italy and was once a part of the latter, which is still reflected in the historic sites and customs of the region. Filled with architectural wonders from Nice’s ‘Belle Epoch’ visitors could as easily while away the hours taking in the buildings as shopping in the bespoke boutiques at Galeries Lafayette. Discover the medieval quarter with its narrow alleyways and traditional markets, or gaze upon the artistry of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, a visual delight outside that discloses an ornate icon wall coloured in gold within.  The Notre-Dame d’Nice may come second place to the Notre-Dame d’Paris but its interiors are ornately detailed in the Gothic style of the mid-19th Century and well worth the trip.

Before Nice reached the height of its fame, artists such as Pablo Picasso would come from across Europe and paint in vivid detail the local sights in the laidback atmosphere of what was then a provincial coastal town. The Musée Matisse has a choice selection of the Impressionist’s work, spanning from his beginnings in Realism and developing into an ever more Abstract style. As the afternoon progresses, sample the region’s finest wines whilst touring through the countryside before heading back into town for a delicious evening meal at the exceptional Michelin starred restaurant Le Louis XV.

Antibes Yachts will have no issues with mooring in Antibes as the very large marina offers over 2,000 berths and is able to accommodate superyachts over 100 metres. Antibes has a roaring social scene and an eclectic mix of theatre shows and live music performances year-round, although the summer months of July and August are the height of the tourist season and when the city takes out all the stops. Those looking to take life at a gentler pace will find plenty of routes to stroll through the city and gardens open to the public are scattered throughout the urban landscape. The curious might also want to visit the historical sites and there is a museum dedicated to one of France’s most recognisable concoctions: Absinthe. As Nice has a museum honouring Matisse, so does Picasso have his own display at the castle Château Grimaldi in Antibes. The gallery is one of the largest collections of his work, featuring almost 200 pieces which include ceramics, lithographs and tapestries.

Cannes The Cannes Film Festival is, unsurprisingly, the busiest time of the year for yacht charters along the Cote d’ Azur and if you intend on docking at one of the marinas during the event – which usually takes place in May - it is essential to secure your place months in advance. As a centre of modern culture, Cannes holds events throughout the year and each month has a different offering, hosting the International Games Festival in February, the International Fireworks Festival in July and an International Dance Festival in November. For perfect relaxation after a long day on foot, head to Les Thermes Marins de Cannes for a massage that will unknot every muscle in your body before invigorating Brazil nut oils give your skin a new lease of life.

Toulon The old town of Toulon is a picturesque maze of winding pedestrian streets and sculpted fountains that form the backdrop for morning markets and informative tours. Sightseers can witness Mediterranean life in action and sample local delicacies before heading to the Jardin d'acclimatation du Mourillon for a sample of Mediterranean gardening against the backdrop of the Ligurian Sea.

Cassis Cassis is an excellent final destination for relaxation on your luxury yacht charter: Located within the boundaries of Calanques National Park, Cassis offers low-key charm and a pristine natural environment to explore, paddle and rest within on the secluded sandy beaches looking out onto glassy waters. Although smaller in size than other settlements along the Cote d’Azur, Cassis has its own casino, boutiques, cafes and wine bars so that guests looking for one last party can still satisfy their desires.

The Season:

As with most of the Mediterranean, the French Riviera / Cote d' Azur yacht charter season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season in July and August is the hottest and tends to have the warmest sunshine, lightest winds and also the largest crowds. This is also the high season as far as French Riviera yacht charter is concerned. Other good times to charter your yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season (July-August), as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers.
