A Guide to Chartering a Luxury Yacht on the French Riviera Part III

Golfe Juan.

Golfe Juan marks the spot where Naploeon returned to France after exile on the island Elba. Obviously, if it’s important enough for Napoleon to go there, it’s important for us. Golfe Juan is home to many of our French Riviera sailboats, so if you’re looking to charter bareboat, or bareboat with skipper, Golfe Juan is the place to visit. Nestled between the Iles des Lerins and Cap d’Antibes, the clear warm waters are perfect for taking a dip.

Want to try your hand at sailing? This Hanse 470, available from 2,750 € per week is a fantastic choice of sailing yacht. Whether you want to sail yourself, or sit back and let a skipper do the job for you, prepare yourself for a relaxing week along the French coast.

Cannes.

This has to be one of the most famous places in the French Riviera. Home to the Cannes Film Festival, this city attracts some of the biggest names in showbiz throughout the year. Cannes has some fantastic private beaches, with amazing restaurants that make great stop-off points for lunch during your charter. Events are held all year round at the Palais des Festivals, keeping Cannes busy throughout the year.

PURA VIDA, a Princess 68, will give you a fantastic day trip around Cannes. Whether you want to visit the Iles des Lerins to explore the more secluded area of Cannes, or want to whizz up and down the coast to visit the surrounding towns of the Côte d’Azur, you can do on this spacious Princess.

Cruise on Down to Fabulous Bâoli Beach, Cannes, in Your Luxury Yacht!

If somebody says ‘Cannes’ to you, what would you think of?
… The Cannes Film Festival … Yachts … Celebrities …
And those are just a few things! Cannes welcomes you to the Côte d’Azur – the place to be if you’re seeking the sun and sea. The famous Croisette that runs along the sea front from port to port, taking you past the Palais des Festivals which comes to life throughout the year for the many conventions throughout the year, the celebrated film festival which takes place in May has to be the most well-known, and kicks off summer in Cannes. So, if you want to come and join the party, the best way to do so is by boat. Take part in the glamour that is Cannes summertime, and visit the fashionable Bâoli Beach.

Born from the top Cannes nightclub Bâoli, Bâoli Beach has fast become one of the most popular private beaches along the Croisette. With the biggest pier on the strip, Bâoli Beach has definitely got itself noticed. A prestigious all-day affair; a combination of fine dining, relaxation and pleasure, which brings visitors in from morning until night (or the early hours of the next morning!) They serve food all day, ranging from sharing platters of sushi to heavier chicken or beef dishes. With a different set menu every day, Bâoli Beach entices you in to stop off for lunch, you can then chill out afterwards on one of their sun loungers with a cocktail in hand, and watch the world go by. Join the party scene that goes on late in to the night, Bâoli Beach is a hotspot for those who want to dance the night away on the sand.

If you are tempted by a trip to Bâoli Beach on a day charter, AQUA BLUE IRELAND is a fantastic choice. A stunning Sunseeker Predator 74, she can accommodate 10 guests for a day charter, so is perfectly suited for a day out around the French Riviera with your friends. She has plenty of deck space to relax in the sun while taking the chance to explore the waters around Cannes, with luxurious furnishing if you want to retreat inside to escape the heat.
