The Best Way to enjoy the French Riviera!

Millions of tourists flock to the South of France every year for their summer family vacations. Graced with a beautiful climate, history, cuisine and attractions, the French Riviera has something for everyone, no matter what age! Many examples of film reviews choose to locate themselves between Nice and Cannes, due to the close proximity to the airport. However, St Tropez is the destination of choice for many for a luxurious day out, which causes horrendous traffic jams every year. One way to avoid this is to charter your own yacht for the day from Nice, Antibes or Cannes and you will be in St Tropez in just 90 minutes!

The Riviera from the water is a completely different sight and even more spectacular. You are free to choose your own itinerary and we can help to suggest the best places to stop and swim, to shop and recommend some of the best restaurants in the world. A Cannes Boat Charter should be an essential part of your holiday.

As a top choice for plenty of celebrities, St Tropez is clearly a popular destination for all. A playground for jet-setters, celebrities and millionaires, St Tropez is a summer hotspot, yet can be busy to find a parking space for your car… so why not hire a luxury yacht to take you round to Nikki Beach?

The beach club is all about relaxation and extravagance, a brilliant opportunity to let your hair down while on holiday. With fashions shows, performances and parties throughout the summer season, Nikki Beach is a St Tropez summer hotspot!Nikki Beach St Tropez is in a perfect location to stop off on your day charter!

A poolside environment that offers fine dining on Mediterranean cuisine, the beach is a great stop off point on a day out with friends. Stay on until later in the evening when the party scene comes to life, and the cocktails (or champagne!) really start to flow.

So, if you fancy a day charter to St Tropez, how about chartering MISTRAL 55 from Cannes to St Tropez in well under an hour. She is the perfect day charter to get the party started on the way to Nikki Beach; her unique disco system is practically an onboard nightclub.

With a spacious deck and plenty of water toys, MISTRAL 55 is also great fun if you want to anchor outside St Tropez for a while before heading to the shore to explore Nikki Beach.
