Renting

Renting a yacht on the Côte d'Azur

Yacht rental on the Côte d'Azur works the same way as a charter: you rent the boat with its crew, never on your own. For a day on the water, a day boat or open cruiser comes with a skipper at the helm; for multi-day cruising, a motor yacht or superyacht is rented with a full professional crew.

Every rental starts from our Saint-Tropez base, in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. From there the Riviera opens in both directions — east to Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monaco, or west to the Îles d'Hyères and Porquerolles National Park.

To rent a yacht on the Côte d'Azur, budget from €1,500 a day for an 11 m day boat or from €25,000 a week for a 20–30 m motor yacht, plus APA and 20 % VAT — see the full 2026 rates above.

Good to know

What should you know before a Côte d'Azur yacht charter from Saint-Tropez?

From around €1,500 a day (11 m day boat) and €25,000 a week (20–30 m motor yacht), plus APA (25–35 %) and 20 % VAT, per published 2026 Riviera brackets — quoted individually by Yats. Sources: 2026 weekly brackets — International Yachts Charter & Brokerage — Monaco Yacht Show 2026 charter rates (retrieved 5 September 2026) ; day rates — Monaco Boats (The S Collection) — Yacht charter prices in Monaco ; APA: "median 35 percent of the base fee" across MYBA listings (Vital Charters, 2026) ; crew gratuity 5–15 % (MYBA guidance) ; 20 % VAT: service-public.gouv.fr ; berths: Port de Saint-Tropez — Tarifs 2026 (tarifs journaliers, € TTC / m²) (xlsx, retrieved 5 September 2026).

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.
