Visit L’Écrin Plage, Cannes, During Your Luxury Charter Vacation!

Cannes, home to the famous film festival, always proves to be a popular choice for yacht charters. With its sun, sea and sparkle (yes, the tarmac by the Palais des Festivals is in fact sparkly!) it’s obvious why people love it so. If you walk down the Croisette, the stretch between the two ports, on a hot summer’s day, Cannes is alive with people, whether they’re looking for beach restaurants or designer shops.

If you head down to Port Pierre Canto, you will come across L’Écrin, with their beach for relaxing and sipping cocktails, and restaurant for indulging in fine dining. Whether you want to grab a drink at their lounge bar, or try some of the fresh Mediterranean cuisine, stop off at L’Ecrin during your charter and enjoy yourself at one of Cannes’ most popular beach restaurants!

A great boat to get you to L’Écrin is SUR L’ONDE II, an impressive Baia Atlantica 78. Accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, she will take you around the French Riviera at a maximum of 48 knots! And if you get a bit tired of cruising, why not get picked up by helicopter? If you’re not sunbathing at the front of the yacht, you can fly your friends out to visit you at sea.

An Alternative Day Charter Yacht on the French Riviera

Many people associate the French Riviera with luxury motor yachts and super yachts, often forgetting that the West Mediterranean is home to some of the best sailing yachts and catamarans on the charter market. With the majority of monohulls and catamarans having a minimum charter duration of a week, what do you do if you are in town for a few days or only want a day charter?

At Boatbookings, we have developed great partnerships with a few suppliers to make day charters possible. Whether you want a luxury monohull from Antibes and Cannes, or a catamaran from Menton, it is now possible to experience the joy of a days sailing!

TATOUNE is one of our favourite options for a catamaran charter from Menton and Monaco. This luxurious Lagoon 400, skippered by the very experienced Wilfred, accommodates up to 8 guests. A typical day on TATOUNE would include a trip down the coast past the beautiful Villefranche to Cannes with a luxury pic-nic between the Iles des Lerins. A slow cruise back to Menton with regular swimming stops around St Jean Cap Ferrat will ensure a very memorable day out. If you think that you would like to book a weeks catamaran charter but have never done so before, this opportunity is priceless for giving you a feel for chartering.

MOJITO is a very good alternative for a luxury monohull charter. This crewed monohull does both day and weekly yacht charters, providing guests with great flexibility. She has a wonderful crew, who will do everything in their power to ensure a successful day at sea. There is nothing better than cruising slowly down the Riviera with stops at Esterel and Saint-Raphael.

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.

To find out how to organise yours today, take a look at our website and find a yacht you like! Send an email to charter@boatbookings and we would be delighted to help you!
