How long is a French Riviera cruise from Saint-Tropez?

Riviera itineraries usually run three days to a week, linking Saint-Tropez, the Lérins, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco at an unhurried pace with overnights in the prettiest bays.

Can we tailor the Riviera route?

Yes — we build the route around the bays you want to see, the weather and your pace; nothing is fixed until it suits you.

No — every charter is crewed or available with a skipper, so you never need a licence.

Yacht cruising the Côte d’Azur coastline

Yacht charter — French Riviera & Côte d'Azur

The full French Riviera from your Saint-Tropez base — Cannes, Antibes, the Îles d'Hyères and Porquerolles National Park, made for multi-day cruising.

A yacht charter Côte d'Azur — or boat charter French Riviera — opens the whole coast; yacht rental French Riviera and superyacht charter French Riviera are equally at home here.

Good to know

The day, plainly

Yes, in good conditions — it is a long, full day under way with brief stops. Many prefer to spread it over a short cruise with a night at anchor; we advise on what suits your party.

Overnight berths along the coast — Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco — are requested in advance and quoted separately. On a longer cruise we usually mix marina nights with nights at anchor.

Of course. Antibes, Cannes, Villefranche or a longer swim at the Lérins — the route is a suggestion. Tell us what you'd like to see and we shape it around the sea.

On quote. Distance, yacht, season and any berthing all factor in, so we price each itinerary individually — clearly and in full before you confirm.
