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.

Eddie Jordan takes delivery of brand new £25m, 155ft Sunseeker – It’s enough to make you Blush!

F1 team boss turned F1 presenter Eddie Jordan’s brand new 155ft Sunseeker BLUSH has just been revealed to the world ahead of her delivery in the Spring. With a reported cost price of £25 million and at a very sizeable 155ft (47m) BLUSH is now Sunseeker’s flagship yacht and has already attracted a lot of attention within the industry.

After two years of hard work, BLUSH leaves the shed!

With bookings already confirmed for the Monaco Grand Prix 2014 (I think we can guess who by!) and much of the summer in the South Of France it seems Eddie’s looking to use his new toy as much as possible in her maiden year, and who could blame him!

BLUSH will be magnificent when fully complete!

BLUSH may be the largest and newest, but she’s certainly not going to be the only Sunseeker cruising the French Riviera this summer. We blogged about DEVOCEAN, a 37m Sunseeker after Cordy and Tom went to visit and were extremely impressed by her.

DEVOCEAN has some similar striking Sunseeker design features as BLUSH

DEVOCEAN is a stunning Sunseeker 37m with a contemporary, yet refined and classic interior. Excellent exterior spaces are a real feature, her top deck offers excellent lounging and seating options, as well as a jacuzzi to sit back and enjoy the wonderful views from. Her large decks also make her a suitable choice for corporate event charters, for the first time ever she is available for MIPM 2014!

DEVOCEAN’S top deck bar, perfect for a sundowner!

If you’re looking for a smaller Sunseeker there is an abundance of choice, a few months ago we also blogged about IMPULSE, another one of our favourite yachts, perfect for a weeks family holiday. However if it’s just a day of glamour on the water you want then REHAB is the Sunseeker for you!

IMPULSE front on!

Those of us in the Boatbookings.com Cannes office will be keeping our eyes pealed for BLUSH this summer and look forward to getting a closer look at her during the Monaco and Cannes yacht shows where she is expected to be exhibited. Get in touch today to discuss chartering a yacht this summer and make 2014 a year to remember!

The Wolf of Yacht Street – NAOMI’s Little Sister

If you’ve been to see The Wolf of Wall Street recently you’ll have experienced the lavish lifestyle of Jordan Belfort. A fantastic film based on the true story of the American dream, the rise of a wealthy stockbroker who lives the high life and then falls into crime, corruption and dodgy deals. Like any millionaire Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, enjoys fast cars, first class flying and of course luxury yachts.

Named after the love of his life Naomi (Nadine in reality), the film features a 44.8 metre Intermarine super yacht known in the real world as LADY M. Belfort is seen onboard in the beautiful Italian Riviera town of Portofino, surrounded by his deck jacuzzi and lavish flowers.

If you’re looking to live the luxury lifestyle of Jordan Belfort, we too have a fantastic Intermarine creation for you. BALAJU is the pinnacle of luxury yacht charters in the Mediterranean. Sprawling deck spaces resemble a Floridian beach house, whilst inside sumptuous furniture with splashes of colour creates an energising but comfortable space to relax and unwind. She’s currently cruising the Caribbean basin, but will be back on the Rivieras for the summer season so you too can live the Portofino dream of Jordan Belfort.Keep up to date with all the hottest yachting news by following our Twitter account.
