Boat Hire to the Top French Riviera Beach Clubs

Whether you’re chartering for a week or a day on the French Riviera this summer, food is no doubt on your mind. What better way to enjoy the picturesque coastline, a cool breeze and of course fantastic fresh food than at one of the Riviera’s famous beach clubs; hire a yacht for the day from Cannes, St Tropez or any of our French Riviera destinations for a memorable day out!

Our top guide has the club for you whether you’re visiting Monaco at one end, or St Tropez at the other.

Club 55 is perhaps St Tropez’s most famous beach club; on approaching you’ll see the novel cabanas housing striking blue beach cushions. The place to stop if you want to bump into the rich and famous without a doubt! Situated on Pampelonne Beach you’ll be able to relax for the day, enjoying the view of the world’s largest super yachts as they anchor in these turquoise waters. Since its creation in 1955, Club 55 has led the way in setting trends for beach clubs around the world, offering the finest fresh food money can buy.

Sticking around Pampelonne Beach, we also have the buzzing atmosphere at Nikki Beach. Best known for its parties that continue well into the evening, Nikki Beach also has some of the finest cuisine around. We highly recommend their sharing platters, each themed by a Nikki Beach Club around the world! Cool white decoration provides the perfect background for the hottest pool parties on the Riviera!

A favourite of the Boatbookings team, Paloma Beach is situated is the striking and dramatic bay of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Once again, a haven for the world’s coolest and largest luxury yachts the daunting cliff faces create a secluded place to enjoy a relaxing extended lunch and enjoy the crystal clear waters. Simplicity and authenticity is the key here, with fish being the centre of attention, whether it be a whole catch of the day to share or beautifully contemporary seafood dishes there’s something on this menu for every taste. It is most easily accessible by boat, so why not charter for the day from Monaco and visit this beautiful beach club?

Back in St Tropez, Nioulargo has very different offerings to any beach club on the Riviera coastline. With two outstanding but very contrasting restaurants, one offering traditional flavours of the Mediterranean and the other fusing flavours of the East Nioulargo and Kailargo offer a completely original dining experience. Wash them down with one of the many refreshing cocktails on the menu whilst relaxing at the heart of Pampelonne Beach!

A truly invigorating and relaxing experience! Eden Plage Mala sits just before Cap d’Ail on the way to Monaco. Accessible only by boat or two mysterious winding paths it’s the perfect retreat if you’re looking to escape the crowds. Stunning booths under beautiful wooden canopies provide shade and give a sense of seclusion, whilst the bright colours around give the whole club an energised feel. Fresh fish and lobster everyday, combined with option of either a Swedish or Japanese massage you’ll leave feeling like a new person! Live bands on the weekends mean Eden Plage Mala even offers something for the party-minded.

Contact the Boatbookings team today for a tailored itinerary for day, weekend or week-long charters and boat rentals in Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, St Tropez and elsewhere along the French Riviera.

The Most Beautifully Executed Interior Design Ever – SEALYON

When you think of a super yacht interior, you think of uncompromising luxury and tailored design. It all begins with a wish list – outside space, jacuzzi, swimming pool, entertainment systems, tenders and toys. Whilst some compromise, SEALYON has been executed meticulously and beautifully to create breathtaking interior and exterior space throughout.

Outside, the amount of space on her sun decks is unparalleled. A rotating sunbed, mist machine, ample seating and a large dining area would be enough you might think but heading forward and up another level you have more space to relax and unwind under the sun. This includes sumptuous sun-beds and an over-sized jacuzzi accommodating all 12 guests if you so desire.

The top deck is without doubt the highlight of this stunning super yacht, but heading down the other two sprawling decks provide shady protection from the sun. Heading inside, you’re greeted by award winning design which incorporates 1930s glamour and contemporary chic. This creates glistening surfaces that make the already vast spaces seem even bigger, however social spaces are still made to feel cosy due to beautiful dark geometric furniture.

Moving round the boat the shimmering mirrored surfaces continue, leading to your fully-equipped rosewood office, private gym and large media space with its 103 inch plasma screen. The 6 beautifully assigned staterooms all have a bang-on trend theme of warm dark chic, offering sumptuously inviting contemporary king beds. Their marble covered ensuite bathrooms spoil guests with space and relaxing beauty. All this magnificently designed by hailed interior designers Candy & Candy.

SEALYON is currently available for charter in the Bahamas, heading back to the Caribbean in March and the ever-popular French Riviera for summer. Her crew of 16, along with her stunning design guarantee an unforgettable experience for even the most discerning charterer.

EMOTION – THE Luxury Charter Yacht for a Family Charter in the Mediterranean in Summer 2014

Recently, Cordy and Tom from the Boatbookings team were fortunate enough to visit EMOTION, a striking and impressive 43m CRN motor yacht.

After stepping onto the yacht and entering the main saloon, a feeling of opulence and warmth is immediately apparent. Her interior styling is homely and comfortable creating a feeling of space seldom found on a yacht of her size. This feeling of space continues after climbing her wide staircases up to the third and most impressive sun deck. Once on the top deck, guests will be spoilt with several comfortable lounging areas, a bar, barbecue and a jacuzzi. If the midday Mediterranean sun becomes too strong, there are two large and movable sun parasols to provide guests with some welcome shade.

Moving down to the main deck, guests will find an impressive wooden outside dining table with seating for 12, completely private and not visible from the quayside. After dark the cosy sky lounge with generous and comfortable seating options doubles as a cinema room with surround sound and 60? plasma screen, perfect for a family movie nights.

Her five well proportioned and tastefully appointed cabins provide accommodation that will more than satisfy any discerning guest looking for a home away from home. The real feature of the master cabin is the astonishing private balcony with table and chairs for two. Magnificent views can be enjoyed through the full length window or this can be fully opened for a true alfresco experience.

Thrill seeking guests will be kept busy with the two 230hp Yamaha SHOO jet skis that EMOTION has on board as well as two seabobs, a wakeboard, waterskis, inflatable trampoline and more! For active charterers and their guests there is a small fully equipped gym on the lower deck with cardio equipment and electric weights machine. Why not open the double doors for an amazing sea view whilst you work out!

Serious horsepower!
